Parker McCollum’s personality is mind-oriented. They understand and relate to the world around them via the medium of thought and intellect. Memorization, comparison, analysis, and the verbalization of their mental imagery are their favorite activities. They seek to extend their personality by a mental outreach to a multitude of new ideas and factors, becoming acquainted with an ever-increasing variety of facets of human nature. Thus, language and symbolic expression, written or oral, are their primary resources in life, although they are also potential pitfalls. Their eloquence, wit, and verve, their mastery of language, unquestionably give their power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). But taken to extremes, this faculty may lead to incoherency.

It is thus vital for them to find an outlet for their flow of verbal expression, they must explain, communicate, and speak. If it is dammed up, they will undoubtedly suffer. Their flow of words is the expression of their vital energy, the proof that they are alive and well. If they are forced to be silent, they would be cut off from the bonds that hold them together. A kind of duality or split personality might emerge… remember Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? “They” were a classic case. For all of the above reasons, they are naturally gregarious and sociable.

They make friends quickly and easily. Their contacts and networks are important to them, because they enable them to evolve. They are a source of self-fulfillment and identification. Any form of play is also important to them, and only severe depression will deprive them of their playfulness. They sometimes amuse themselves by acting out a variety of roles on the stage of life, just for the fun of it. Their animation and wit give them a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability is a two-bladed sword. They are liable to find themselves in a superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in order to move about more freely. They are also sensitive, but their emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of their intellect. Thus, they cannot free themselves to the strength of great passions and energies without idealizing them to a certain degree and giving them intellectual resonance. Wary of their irrational instincts and urges, they tend to control or repress them.

But they will do well to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a complex inner world, they sometimes feel vulnerable, due to their emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer world. Because they rely first and foremost on their adaptability and agility to wriggle out of trouble, they may, on certain occasions, make rather dubious compromises with themselves – all the more likely if their moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the case, instead of steel. The weaknesses they must overcome are instability, wishy-washiness, a lack of determination and coherence in their thought.

Born in the three and one-half days after the full moon rose, Parker McCollum is said to be a “full moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives Parker an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, since the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, Parker’s objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull Parker in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – Parker may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties.

At times, Parker is too demanding of Parker or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, Parker is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. Parker 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, Parker’s monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. Parker would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
