You are determined to preserve your integrity and purity. Even though you may not be aware of it, you are often preoccupied by this predicament. How can you live in this world and remain true to yourself? How can you succeed in life without sacrificing your ideals? It’s the eternal philosophical dilemma.

You have developed a solution, however; you elaborate a fairly strict code of behavior and try to obey it as much as possible. The path that you walk in life is straight and narrow. You yearn for a life that would reflect the ideal you have set for yourself, as free as possible from irrational mysteries and human failings. In fact, although you may sometimes seem a bit rigid, a bit lacking in perspective, it is because your mind understands the macrocosm through the microcosm, and you must observe the completed system before you will form your opinion.

You are especially good at sorting and choosing, because your mind is like a filter. It rejects the impurities and only accepts the pure and useful. Analysis, deductive reasoning, and a sense of experimentation are your qualities. You possess great meticulousness and precision which make you a quick and efficient worker. However, you may rely too strongly on your analytical faculties, to the detriment of an overall perception of reality.

You like purity and therefore justice. Thus, you are sensitive to human suffering, especially as a result of social injustice, and you will try to remedy the situation according to what you have learned. Once again, the overriding themes of your personality emerge. You want to preserve an ideal, avoid deterioration, change, adulteration. You are offended by imperfection and try to find ways to correct it. You are eager to help, to be useful, to serve a great cause, but you sometimes do not know whom or what you seek to serve. Whatever purpose you adopt, you must learn to help without surrendering yourself entirely; you tend to try to disappear into the background of a hierarchy.

You are sometimes attracted by readymade systems, which soothe a certain anxiety you have. You wouldn’t mind devoting yourself to a state, a big corporation, or a dogma. It would be reasonable and satisfying. But you sometimes forget to rebel a bit – to evaluate whether the end justifies the means. You are reassured by predictability. When you commit yourself, you want to know exactly where you are bound and how. This may be a bit of an obstacle to your love life. You tend to keep a tight rein

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

Nicolás de Tracy is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.

Nicolás de Tracy was born in a small town in the south of Spain. As a child, he was very attached to his family and loved spending time with them. He enjoyed learning about his heritage and his past.

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

Impetuosity – Modesty – Enthusiasm – Analytical thought – Group spirit – Strict logic – Impressionability – Attention to detail – Analytical mind – Perfectionism – Worldly concerns – Worry and anxiety – Projection – Nervousness.

Your personality is a complex blend of opposing tendencies and contradictory drives. As a result, you are torn between your idealistic nature and sense of reality, trying to accomplish great ambitions, but at times undermined by a doubt in your abilities. Depending on the quality of your surroundings, you may either allow insecurities to submerge you, or, on the contrary, become excited about a plan that would boost your self-esteem – in which case you would make wonderful progress. Intellectually, you are gifted with an inventive and industrious mind which is primed to understand and adapt. However, your thinking lacks some continuity, and, as a result, so do your actions. You’ll want to be aware of any monopolistic tendencies on the part of your intellect, and, conversely, any efforts by your associates to interfere with your lifestyle.

Born on the third day before the new moon, you are said to be of the “balancing moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a rational, analytical character that is balanced and stable. You are sometimes hindered by your need to control and restrict yourself. Indeed, you aim for a stable, rational ideal which would include the majority of people. You fervently hope that the majority will be kind and understanding. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to work for the common good, using your intelligence, skills, and resources. However, you should be wary of your unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for you to devote yourself to your mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express your philosophy and free your conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
