You are a philosopher and seeker of knowledge. You are introspective and analytical, and you are drawn to difficult problems and theories. You are cautious and wary of the outer world, your senses, and even your intellect, because they might all be sources of illusion. Your quest for identity with a spiritual whole gives you a voracious appetite for ideologies, structures, and theories. As a result, you have a penchant for reflection and philosophical study. You are intrigued by difficult problems and enjoy solving them. There is no difficulty which can discourage you from the goal you have decided to reach for yourself.

In pursuit of this absolute center (positive or negative) which animates you, you are shrewd and persistent. Stamina and endurance are resources of which you are quite confident. Your existence and organism are arranged to optimize them; others may consider you slow, but you are really just playing it safe, because, unconsciously, you know time is on your side. When you take an initiative, it is after careful forethought and preparation. Your great composure, ability to resist and overcome obstacles and wickedness, and your foresight give you a great potential to accomplish total self-control. However, you must beware of one pitfall: excess. You tend to be a bit too rigid and intolerant; in intellectual pursuits, you can tend to be dogmatic, hermetic, or conformist.

Born at the height of the full moon, you are said to have a lunar character. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a strong objective tendency, as well as a more idealistic side. However, because the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, your predominant character traits are balanced by a more rational side. Because the forces pull you in two different directions – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may sometimes experience inner contradictions that are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, comparing them to an idealistic standard.
