Billy Connolly has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within his psyche: one is related to his instincts and endows him with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires him with a precise awareness of his purpose and dignity as a human being among his fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble his quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty he must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, he must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if he identifies with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, he can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding he derives from it. In daily life, he could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, he has the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of his thought is apt to enable him to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, he can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, he has a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. He conceives of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that he is not an idealist. If he seeks an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. His originality comes from the fact that he always strives to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values. All of these skills and resources predispose him to devote himself to society. In the process, however, he is likely to overdo it to such a degree that his own personality is overshadowed. That is, he would identify too heavily with his social mask (his persona) and lose awareness of his individuality.

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

Impetuosity – Need for security – Enthusiasm – Inhibition – Group spirit – Application – Impressionability – Methodical mind – Analytical mind – Forethought – Worldliness – Loyalty – Projection.

Motivated by an ideal of fairness and tolerance, and a strong desire for sociability, you are sometimes gripped by a need for solitude and introspection. As a result, you sometimes feel torn. Your behavior is moody, vacillating between excitement and depression, friendliness and distance. Your determination, which is normally steadfast and strong, can be weakened by considerations of vanity and self-image—by the influence of opinion or example. Your social ambitions are distracted by the appeal of freedom, and you alternate between realistic, pragmatic viewpoints and idealistic inspirations.

Billy Connolly was born on the third day after the full moon. As a “full moon” lunar type, he has an objective, rational character, but he also has a more idealistic penchant, which is balanced by his tendencies toward dreams and reality. Because of the opposing forces at work during the full moon, he may experience some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for him. At times, he is too demanding of himself or others, and at others, he is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. His monthly energy flow is strongest during the time of the full moon, so he would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
