Your mind is oriented toward the world around you. You understand and relate to the world through thought and intellect. You like to remember, compare, analyze, and verbalize your mental imagery. You seek to extend your personality by mentally outreach to a diverse range of new ideas and factors, becoming acquainted with an ever-growing variety of facets of human nature. This gives you power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). However, if your flow of words is dammed up, you will suffer. Your words are the expression of your vital energy, the proof that you are alive and well. If you are forced to be silent, you will be cut off from the bonds that hold you together. A kind of duality or split personality might emerge… remember Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? “They” were a classic case. For all of the above reasons, you are naturally gregarious and sociable. You make friends quickly and easily. Your contacts and networks are important to you, because they enable you to evolve. They are a source of self-fulfillment and identification. Any form of play is also important to you, and only severe depression will deprive you of your playfulness. You sometimes amuse yourself by acting out a variety of roles on the stage of life, just for the fun of it. Your animation and wit give you a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability is a two-bladed sword. You are liable to find yourself in a superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in order to move about more freely. You are also sensitive, but your emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of your intellect. Thus, you cannot free yourself to the strength of great passions and energies without idealizing them to a certain degree and giving them intellectual resonance. Wary of your irrational instincts and urges, you tend to control or repress them. But you will do well to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a complex inner world, you sometimes feel vulnerable, due to your emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer world. Because you rely first and foremost on your adaptability and agility to wriggle out of trouble, you may, on certain occasions, make rather dubious compromises with yourself – all the more likely if your moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the case, instead of steel. The weaknesses you must overcome are instability, wish

Born on the three and one-half days after the full moon rose, you are said to have a “full moon” lunar type configuration. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, since the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, your objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull you in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, you are too nonchalant and indulgent about life. You vacillate between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon.
