You are a person who is drawn to the past, to continuity and timelessness. This power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize you in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates you to recreate a new harmony. You possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom. You are relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (your most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, you tend to limit the scope of your activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries you have established, release the entire spectrum of your rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce you to unfamiliar factors and elements; you see them as intrusions. Before you judge an event, a person, or a thing, you attempt to absorb it into your private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, you define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in you as your consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives your extreme sensory finesse. Your perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. Your imagination, which is a function of your perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific. Because you are sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of your inner self, you may tend to withdraw into your shell when you encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security. Despite your sensitivity, and your ability to be genuinely virtuous, you are not always gentle. Your outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, your stubbornness, slow insistence, and undying determination are the extremes which may complicate your life. Once again, the family setting is vitally important to you. Your attachment to your family in general and your mother or a mother figure, in particular, is deep.

Due to the influence of Libra rising, Beth Stern is a sensitive, delicate person who strives for harmony, both in her social life (in her relationships with others) and in her private life (in terms of art, grace, and beauty).

A lover of refinement and beauty, Beth has a taste for art and her senses are deeply offended by cheapness and vulgarity. She is happiest when she has an outlet for her sense of grace and beauty. Social and sociable, Beth ignores differences and does her best to avoid arguments and disagreements which trouble the smooth flow of her relationships.

Born three and a half to seven days after the rising of the new moon, you are said to be a “crescent moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration indicates that you may need to make an effort to free yourself from the past. Something related to your childhood, parents, or ancestors is holding you back, impairing your effectiveness and could stand to be overcome. Because of your past, you refuse tried-and-true models, are always fighting to justify your innovative viewpoints, and tend to break away from tradition. You are seldom aware that you are making career and lifestyle choices which are based on an urge to modify your relationship to society, and the rigid standards and models from the past.
