The specificity of my personality can be summed up by my nostalgic yearning for my roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. My power is linked to memory. I inhabit a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize me in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates me to recreate a new harmony. My attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If I think of it as a refuge, my obsession with it may be such that my progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, I think of it as a starting point or launching pad for my comprehension of the human condition, I will integrate it into my self-realization process. I possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom.

I am relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (my most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, I tend to limit the scope of my activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries I have established, release the entire spectrum of my rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes I may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce me to unfamiliar factors and elements; I see them as intrusions. Before I judge an event, a person, or a thing, I attempt to absorb it into my private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, I define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in me as my consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives my extreme sensory finesse. My perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. My imagination, which is a function of my perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific.

Because I am sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of my inner self, I may tend to withdraw into my shell when I encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, I may sometimes become distant and secretive. My tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of my need for protection and security. Despite my sensitivity, and my ability to be genuinely virtuous, I am not always gentle. My outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, my stubbornness, slow insistence, and undying determination are the extremes which may complicate my life.

Once again, the family setting is vitally important to me. My attachment to my family in general and my mother or a mother figure, in particular, is deep. The way I resolve (or has resolved) the transition to adulthood and independence will be crucial to my well-being, both in terms of my inner harmony (the sensation and sensitivity which comprise my identity) and in terms of my romantic relationships.

Brooklyn Queen thrives on relating to other people. Brooklyn Queen cannot live without love!

Brooklyn Queen needs others to fulfill herself and accomplish her ambitions.

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

Impetuosity – Sensitivity – Enthusiasm – Imagination – Group spirit – Eccentricity – Impressionability – Savings and thrift – Analytical mind – Worldly concerns – Obstinacy – Projection – Premonition.

Torn between Brooklyn Queen’s desire for independence and freedom and an undeniable need for security, she could have trouble finding an inner balance in the early part of her life. Brooklyn Queen is attracted by novelty and change and tempted by travel and exploration but also loyal to a small circle of interests and friends.

Brooklyn Queen is sometimes daring, sometimes cautious.

As an adult, Brooklyn Queen will probably achieve security and self-confidence when she creates her own home. At that point, all of Brooklyn Queen’s considerable resources will blossom: her mind will be open to intuitive intelligence emanating from her unconscious, and her fertile imagination will become a source of joy and creativity.

Born in the three days prior to the new moon’s appearance, Brooklyn Queen is said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives her a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. She is sometimes sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual ambition.

Indeed, she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. She fervently hopes the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, she is likely to seize every resource placed at her disposal: physical effort, money (if she has it), speech, her writings, and her poetic or artistic talents. However, she should be wary of her unconscious guilt feelings.

Actually, there is no reason for her to devote herself to her mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express her philosophy and free her conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to her activities and her general energy level.
