You are a mental person. You understand and relate to the world around you via the medium of thought and intellect. Memorization, comparison, analysis, and the verbalization of your mental imagery are your favorite activities. You seek to extend your personality by a mental outreach to a multitude of new ideas and factors, becoming acquainted with an ever-increasing variety of facets of human nature. Thus, language and symbolic expression, written or oral, are your primary resources in life, although they are also potential pitfalls. Your eloquence, wit, and verve, your mastery of language, unquestionably give your power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). But taken to extremes, this faculty may lead to incoherency. It is thus vital for you to find an outlet for your flow of verbal expression, you must explain, communicate, and speak. If it is dammed up, you will undoubtedly suffer. Your flow of words is the expression of your vital energy, the proof that you are alive and well. If you are forced to be silent, you would 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

Due to the influence of Virgo rising, your personality is ruled by reason. Your intellectual functions tend to predominate over your emotional or sentimental impulses. Your mind is analytical and critical, naturally questioning and skeptical; you have great faith in rational positivism and strive to be pragmatic. You have a considerable potential for accomplishment. Although others generally appreciate your conscientious, scrupulous conduct, your devotion to others and realism, they might be critical of your meek behavior and tendency to overthink. Indeed, you are so meticulous that you often “cannot see the forest for the trees” and may fret and worry unnecessarily over tiny details. Although you are attracted by the idea of cooperating with a group on some major accomplishment, and you would like to test your skills as a manager and organizer, your perfectionism could prevent you from delegating responsibility, and your preoccupation with order on a daily basis could prove to be an obstacle to the elaboration of long-term strategies. Outside the realm of work, you’re cerebral about your emotions, and you might hesitate to give them free expression. You have a strong desire to improve this aspect of yourself. Characteristically, you proceed to do so by taking some sort of conscious action which you hope will promote change and self-transformation. The influence most likely to be a factor in this transformation is your ability to interact with others, socially or at work. If you accept the challenge of overcoming your tendency to deny your emotions, you will be able to build a more rewarding, less restrictive life for yourself.

Born in the three days after the rising of 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.
