You have a complex personality. You are stirring with contradictory impulses and desires, some of them imperious. Although your rational mind is highly developed and seems to be the source of motivation for your behavior, the most significant realm of your psychology is your subconscious. Therein, a conflict between understanding and feeling is raging, between the psychological functions of thought and sensation (C.G. Jung’s terms). Until this conflict subsides, you might feel a sensation of emptiness. You are troubled by and unable to explain this feeling, which leads you to adopt an attitude of doubt and skepticism. This conflict, and its various ramifications, are the main obstacle to your individuation. Your task consists of becoming the master of the energies of your subconscious, and developing your consciousness in terms of the hidden and invisible. Your evolution will occur through a series of metamorphoses and rebirths. However, at certain points in your life, despite your caution and clear thinking, you find yourself in situations you neither desired nor planned, as a result of explosions and eruptions of the elements fermenting in your psyche. You always survive the worst physical, emotional, or intellectual tests, however, fairly unscathed, because of your ability to be reborn and start afresh. As a partner, you might struggle to make compromises. You may appear frosty and distant at times, and you have a taste for challenging, provocative remarks. With yourself, as well as with others, you are sometimes excessive and complicated. In a discussion, you will express strong, honest opinions. In crisis situations, you wish for your efforts to be noticed. You are obsessed with the problem of death. You tend to believe it holds the secret of life – that death can be overcome. Sometimes your anxiety about death is expressed as a search for answers – how can one learn to live with death, how can one detach oneself from the past and its flesh-curdlingly morbid realities… Decay, immobility, ultimate delivery – these images, which are all symbolically associated with death, sometimes haunt you.

Intellectually, you have powerfully developed intellectual faculties which yield the maximum effectiveness for your behavior. Deductive, analytical, prospective, you are at once a researcher, a detective, and a scientist. You are fairly introverted, and your discrimination tends to direct you toward the spheres of inner life. You are astute at drawing rational parallels between phenomena of different origins. Your love life will be subject to desire and passion. But since you are more aroused by

Due to the influence of Capricorn rising, Benjamin Wadsworth has a personality which may seem somewhat aloof and introspective. In fact, he is not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and leads the independent, solitary life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, he is still shrewd and objective in his insights and judgments. He has a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to him. His personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values – philosophical or scientific facts in relation to spiritual values. In relation to others, he occasionally displays an attitude of firmness. Sometimes he seems detached and weary, or disillusioned, and he does not appreciate the social whirl. He does not readily express his feelings and emotions, but deep inside, he has great sensitivity. His sense of time, a true instinct, is very important. It rules and coordinates all of his activities.

Benjamin Wadsworth is sensual. Pleasure is important to him.

Benjamin Wadsworth’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. He is attached to his family, his heritage, and his past.

Dominating, he might show a certain edginess, repressing the expression of his sensitivity and mocking that side of others.

His keen and penetrating intelligence and his lucidity make him curious about the hidden aspects of things—the action behind the scenes. As a result, he may take pleasure in divulging people’s emotional secrets. But on another level, he can expose the dysfunctional elements of something, resulting in a positive change.

Born on the third day after the new moon, you are said to be a “new moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you a subjective character, somewhat impulsive and sometimes emotive. Generally, you do not see the world in objective terms; instead, you base your attitude on the feelings various situations arouse inside you. Likewise, in human relationships, you tend to project your imaginary reality onto others instead of seeing them for what they are. As a result, your judgements and reasoning are sometimes deprived of perspective. You may want to make an effort to refrain from overinterpreting other people’s actions, because, being the product of your imagination in most cases, your interpretations are mistaken. If you apply yourself to listening more openly, people may reveal their deeper motivations. You’ll be happier and more effective as a result.
