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 Pisces rising, you have a psychic’s sensitive and emotive personality. Your duality causes you to vacillate between suggestibility and resoluteness, friendliness and distance. You are usually evanescent. Your temperament is sometimes passive due to a lack of pugnacity, and you are often reserved and perhaps even timid in unfamiliar surroundings. At times, you feel guilty about this passivity, and to rid yourself of it, you try to make yourself useful to others. The same guilt feelings may help you redirect yourself, overcome your insecurities, and find new faith in yourself. In relation to others, the social recognition you earn from your receptivity, intuition, self-control, and fairness should contribute to bolstering your self-esteem. Time will always be of the essence to you.

J. Mascis is highly aware of psychological, metaphysical, or mystical questions. The future may hold a complete psychological metamorphosis in store for him.

You were born under the sign of Pisces (the Fish), which is the sign associated with your rising sign. The sun was passing through the sign of Sagittarius (the Archer) at the time you were born, meaning that you have a personality that is characterized by emotionalism, impulsiveness, pliancy, enthusiasm, humbleness and reserve, group spirit, idealism, impresionability, analytical mind, intuition, worldliness, premonition, and projection. Your psyche is the scene of a struggle between two opposing tendencies: activity and playfulness, rebellion and submission. In your youth, you may undergo some challenges in adjusting to the world and achieving a balance. However, maturity and experience should teach you how to be more centered and invest your energies in an activity which involves helping other people. After you learn to compensate for a tendency to run out of momentum, you will be able to complete the projects you want to finish based on your high ideals. Your intelligence will be illuminated and enlightened by your intuition, but you will always have to protect yourself from picking up negative energy from people around you.

Born on the third day after the full moon rose, you are said to be a “full moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, since the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, your objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull you in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, you are too nonchalant and indulgent about life. You vacillate between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. You would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
