Born on the night of a full moon, you are said to be a “lunar type.” This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you a character characterized by objective, rational thought, and lucid behavior.

This dual nature can cause inner tension as you oscillate between two poles – one that is elitist and one that is earthy. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. You would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
