The specificity of Corinne Joy’s personality can be summed up by her nostalgic yearning for her roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Her power is linked to memory. She inhabits 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 her in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates her to recreate a new harmony. Her attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If she thinks of it as a refuge, her obsession with it may be such that her progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, she thinks of it as a starting point or launching pad for her comprehension of the human condition, she will integrate it into her self-realization process. She possesses a potential for great maturation and wisdom.

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

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

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

Corinne Joy, due to the influence of Sagittarius (the Centaur-Archer) rising, has a dual, ambivalent nature, vagrant and capricious. It is natural for Joy to be simultaneously conventional and rebellious. Joy can happily submit to society and convention for a time, only to emerge committed to rugged individualism, or vice-versa. Joy’s inner attachment to an ideal of liberty and emancipation does not prevent her from adopting a sociable, pleasant attitude at social events. This dichotomy in Joy’s personality grants her such useful social skills as adaptability and poise, but inside, she faces a quest for her true identity and consciousness. Joy’s primary psychological task is to maintain the harmony reigning between the two entities dwelling within her. She must not limit herself to being either one or the other. Joy will achieve true psychic and existential stability by personifying a blend of these two behavioral tendencies. When she is comfortable with her individuality, she can radiate optimism and energy; flexible and elastic, she will delight in any change or unpredictability, without losing sight of her long-term purposes. Eminently social, she will express her true nature by becoming deeply involved with groups and taking on duties and responsibilities as a member. She will enjoy her ability to infuse them with her idealistic enthusiasm and visions for the future. Her special gifts for dealing with energy make her apt to occupy a position of great social responsibility.

Corinne Joy yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Corinne Joy has a somewhat secretive personality; she is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

At the time of Corinne Joy’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 her 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 her 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. She is attracted by novelty and change and tempted by travel and exploration but also loyal to a small circle of interests and friends.

She is sometimes daring, sometimes cautious.

As an adult, she will probably achieve security and self-confidence when she creates her own home. At that point, all of her 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 and one-half days after the full moon rose, Corinne Joy is said to be a “full moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives her an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, since the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, her objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull her in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – she may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for her.

At times, she is too demanding of herself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, she is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. She vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self.

Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. She would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
