You have a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within your psyche: one is related to your instincts and endows you with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires you with a precise awareness of your purpose and dignity as a human being among your fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble your quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty you must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, you must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if you identify with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, you 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 you derive from it. In daily life, you could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, you have the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of your thought is apt to enable you 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, you can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, you have a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. You conceive of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call you an idealist. If you seek an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Your originality comes from the fact that you always strive 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 you to devote yourself to society. In the process, however, you are likely to overdo it to such a degree that your own personality is overshadowed. That is, you would identify too heavily with your social mask (your persona) and lose awareness of your individuality.

Due to the influence of Capricorn rising, you have a personality which may seem somewhat aloof, withdrawn, and introspective. In fact, you are not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and lead the independent, solitary life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, you are still shrewd and objective in your insights and judgments. You have a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to you. Impatient and sometimes restless, you sometimes chafe under the limits and restraints of social realities and convention. Fairly rebellious by nature, you sees yourself as striving for freedom from the bonds of earthly existence, which you find confining. Your personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values – philosophical or scientific facts in relation to spiritual values. Sometimes you seem detached and weary, or disillusioned, and you do not appreciate the social whirl. You do not readily express your feelings and emotions, but deep inside, you have great sensitivity. Your sense of time, a true instinct, is very important. It rules and coordinates all of your activities.

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.

Gabriel Brown is born on the day after the full moon, which means that his lunar type is “soli-lunar”. This configuration means that he has an objective, rational character, but he also has a more idealistic side which is balanced by his tendency to be practical and social. Because the moon is opposite the sun when it is full, Gabriel’s tendencies are pulled in two different directions – one towards dreams and the other towards reality. Sometimes he is too demanding of himself and others, while at other times he is too nonchalant and indulgent. He vacillates between two poles, one of which is elitist while the other is more earthy. Generally speaking, Gabriel’s monthly energy is strongest at the time of the full moon. This would be a good time for him to focus on intense work phases and ambitious projects.
