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 me 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.

Due to the influence of Sagittarius (the Centaur-Archer) rising, Elliana Walmsley, like the half-animal, half-human Centaur, has a dual, ambivalent nature, vagrant and capricious. It is natural for her to be simultaneously conventional and rebellious. She can happily submit to society and convention for a time, only to emerge committed to rugged individualism, or vice-versa. Her 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 her personality grants her such useful social skills as adaptability and poise, but inside, she faces a quest for her true identity and consciousness. Her 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. She 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.

Elliana Walmsley yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Elliana Walmsley has a strong personality; she is sometimes a little self-centered. Her fate is in her own hands!

At the time of Elliana Walmsley’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 seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, Elliana Walmsley is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that her character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to her, and she chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, she often runs into trouble with authority figures.

When overwhelmed by her conscience, she raves about how destructive it is to long for the past, how ridiculous it is to be old-fashioned, and how obsolete the old values are.

Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. She would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, her initiatives will be most successful, especially if she is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
