Tony Lopez is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in Tony’s psychological make-up, Tony has acquired a deep sense of Tony’s individuality and uniqueness. Tony sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of Tony, Tony attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of Tony’s efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated.

It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because Tony’s impressive deeds usually earn recognition for Tony, and reinforce Tony’s self-assurance and Tony’s certainty that Tony does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. Tony sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. Tony likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of Tony’s conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. Tony may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society.

The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives Tony to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on Tony’s ego. By creating something, Tony can make Tony’s own individual mark on the world; Tony can organize it to reflect Tony’s own image, instead of allowing Tony to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in Tony’s own image are strong indications that Tony seeks to identify with Tony’s superego. The difference between Tony’s ideal of Tony and the individual Tony knows Tony to be in truth, measured in terms of Tony’s social recognition or the recognition of Tony’s creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine Tony’s state of mind. It is therefore important for Tony to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible.

The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in Tony’s personality. Tony’s dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; Tony’s strong instinct and ambition combined with Tony’s somewhat exaggerated individualism incline Tony to be self-focused. Tony may be proud, but Tony is also courageous, determined, and generous. Tony has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, Tony is mysteriously lucky.

Due to the influence of Aquarius rising, Tony Lopez has an independent and individualistic temperament, sometimes aggravated by outer discipline and authority. His need to preserve his originality and freedom often inspires him to display eccentric and unconventional behavior, even if it shocks the people around him. He is also reluctant to be tied down unnecessarily, so he may exaggerate his detached “lone wolf” aspect. Actually, he is passionately fond of developing a strict and monastic inner discipline. Others generally appreciate his intellectual qualities, the originality of his opinions, and the subtlety and keenness of his insights. However, his taste for paradox and provocation may not be for everyone. He is attracted by exploration and discovery and enjoy modernistic or futuristic settings. Although he is more mind-oriented than sensual, he is quite honest when expressing his emotions, which often feel more platonic than passionate.

Tony Lopez wants to wield power and enjoy social prestige. He feels quite at home in the modern world others find frightening.

Tony Lopez has a somewhat secretive personality; he is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

At the time of Tony’s birth, his rising sign was located in Aquarius (the Water Bearer), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide Tony’s personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of Tony’s character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Independence – Narcissism – Rebelliousness – Determination – Originality – Pride and self-assurance – Fluctuation – Superiority – Irritability – Brilliance – Inventive spirit – Generosity – Sense of paradox – Optimism.

Tony’s strong personality and straightforward nature displays marked egocentric tendencies. Tony is convinced of his internal greatness, and considers that he is predestined to accomplish some extraordinary purpose in life.

Generous and idealistic, Tony has faith in himself and his ideas, and often figures he alone are capable of doing a good job. Tony tends to be somewhat eccentric, refusing common usage and custom. Tony will not hesitate to contradict or challenge anyone he does not agree with.

Although Tony finds competition stimulating, his common-sense deficit often limits the scope of his accomplishments. Very proud and short-tempered, Tony must nevertheless learn how to deal with other people and accept criticism. Only then will Tony be able to accomplish the great mission with which he is invested.

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

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