You are a person of deep introspection and sensitivity, who is attuned to the feelings and needs of others. You have a natural ability to sense the essence of people and situations, and you are able to understand them through your intuition. This faculty is based on an openness to the other, and as a result, you have a strong sense of the group. Sometimes, others perceive you as unreliable or untrustworthy, because you can be opportunistic or disloyal. However, these are superficial character traits. The real reason for your behavior is psychological, and resides in the fact that you are willing to do anything to maintain the harmony of the group. However, you sometimes lack self-assertiveness, which makes you contradictory and unreliable when you face certain superficial decisions. Moreover, you have a chameleon-like ability to blend in with situations and prevailing moods. This makes you quite successful in social settings, and you thrive on friendships, partnerships, networks, and corporate liaisons. Your mind is amazingly flexible, arranging harmonious and productive encounters between people and ideas. All of your emotional health is invested in a desire to participate, to mingle, to exchange. Although you are consciously aware of an ardent desire to be sociable, unconsciously you blame yourself for failing to achieve your ideal goal, which always seems to elude you. This is why you sometimes have phases of discouragement, followed by renewed zeal in your work efforts or group participation. Because you are always seeking the perfect group, the ideal form of cooperation, you sometimes despair of ever attaining it. You have a natural tendency to find common ground for people, to reconcile differing opinions and viewpoints, and you are partial to any arrangement which promotes cooperation or fellowship. Because you are not aggressive by nature, you know how to make peace; you are a skillful diplomat and go-between. As a corollary to your opening to society, you are closely related to your environment. The society in which you move contributes in large part to the formation of your character and attitude. Through social contacts and friendships, you have elaborated a personal code of ethics which reconciles societal norms and the values your family, friends, and relations have passed on to you. It is important for you to find a way to make all these components harmonize, or you will feel a bit lost and bewildered. You need recognition. You sometimes attach great importance to other people’s opinions of you. You enjoy love and appreciation and are touched by praise as much as you are upset

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Capricorn (the Goat), while the sun was passing through the sign of Libra (the Scales). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your character profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Sociability – Need for security – Adaptability – Inhibition – Emotionality – Application – Tolerance – Methodical mind – Peaceful disposition – Forethought – Sense of harmony – Loyalty – Worldliness.

You lives by the motto “Moderation in all things.” It is natural for you to postpone your aims and have patience to avoid violence and clashes which would be unbearable for you. Vacillating between tolerance and intransigence, your personal ambitions and your need to be recognized by and associated with others, you may sometimes feel somewhat misguided or misunderstood. However, your discernment and sense of harmony make you someone everyone respects, even though sometimes you may be so careful not to rock the boat that you seem a bit prudish and conventional. Although you are flexible, you can reconcile viewpoints without making a mockery of the truth, because you are against falsehoods and fraud. Your innate sense of harmony in any form could enable you to study such diverse fields as mathematics, philosophy, or social sciences. Your gift for human relations, associated with your strategic and tactical talents, might also predispose you to a diplomatic or political career.

Born on the three days prior to the new moon’s appearance, you are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. You are sometimes sorely tried to limit yourself to the narrow scope of individual ambition. Indeed, you aim for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. You fervently hope the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to seize every resource placed at your disposal: physical effort, money (if you have it), speech, your writings, and your poetic or artistic talents. However, you should be wary of your unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for you to devote yourself to your mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express your philosophy and free your conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
