Vó da Pomba has an ideal of which she is only partially conscious, but it has a great influence on her psychology. She is determined to preserve her integrity and purity. Even though she may not be aware of it, she is often preoccupied by this predicament. How can she live in this world and remain true to herself? How can she succeed in life without sacrificing her ideals? It’s the eternal philosophical dilemma. She has developed a solution, however; she elaborates a fairly strict code of behavior and tries to obey it as much as possible. The path that she walks in life is straight and narrow. She yearns for a life that would reflect the ideal she has set for herself, as free as possible from irrational mysteries and human failings.

In fact, although she may sometimes seem a bit rigid, a bit lacking in perspective, it is because her mind understands the macrocosm through the microcosm, and she must observe the completed system before she will form her opinion. She is especially good at sorting and choosing, because her 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 her qualities. She possesses great meticulousness and precision which make her a quick and efficient worker. However, she may rely too strongly on her analytical faculties, to the detriment of an overall perception of reality.

She likes purity and therefore justice. Thus, she is sensitive to human suffering, especially as a result of social injustice, and she will try to remedy the situation according to what she has learned. Once again, the overriding themes of her personality emerge. She wants to preserve an ideal, avoid deterioration, change, adulteration. She is offended by imperfection and try to find ways to correct it. She is eager to help, to be useful, to serve a great cause, but she sometimes does not know whom or what she seeks to serve. Whatever purpose she adopts, she must learn to help without surrendering herself entirely; she tends to try to disappear into the background of a hierarchy. She is sometimes attracted by readymade systems, which soothe a certain anxiety she has. She wouldn’t mind devoting herself to a state, a big corporation, or a dogma. It would be reasonable and satisfying. But she sometimes forgets to rebel a bit – to evaluate whether the end justifies the means. She is reassured by predictability. When she commits herself, she

Vó da Pomba has a personality which may seem somewhat aloof and introspective. In fact, she is not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and leads the independent, solitary life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, she is still shrewd and objective in her insights and judgments. She has a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to her. Insecurities could inhibit her emotional and instinctive urges. She is proud of her near-stoic self-control. Her personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values – philosophical or hard scientific facts in relation to spiritual values. Sometimes she seems detached and weary or disillusioned, and she does not appreciate the social whirl. She does not readily express her feelings and emotions, but deep inside, she has great sensitivity. Her sense of time, a true instinct, is very important. It rules and coordinates all of her activities.

Vó da Pomba yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Vó da Pomba has a somewhat secretive personality; he is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

Vó da Pomba was born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, so she’s a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that her character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to her, and she chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, she often runs into trouble with authority figures.

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