What is Barbara Montgomery’s Personality Type?
The specificity of your personality can be summed up by your nostalgic yearning for your roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Your power is linked to memory. You inhabit a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize you in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates you to recreate a new harmony.
Your attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If you think of it as a refuge, your obsession with it may be such that your progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, you think of it as a starting point or launching pad for your comprehension of the human condition, you will integrate it into your self-realization process. You possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom. You are relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (your most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, you tend to limit the scope of your activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries you have established, release the entire spectrum of your rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce you to unfamiliar factors and elements; you see them as intrusions.
Before you judge an event, a person, or a thing, you attempt to absorb it into your private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, you define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in you as your consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives your extreme sensory finesse. Your perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. Your imagination, which is a function of your perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific. Because you are sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of your inner self, you may tend to withdraw into your shell when you encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security. Despite your sensitivity, and your ability to be genuinely virtuous, you are not always gentle. Your outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, your stubbornness,
Due to the influence of Virgo rising, Barbara Montgomery’s personality is ruled by reason. Her intellectual functions tend to predominate over her emotional or sentimental impulses. Her mind, which is analytical and critical, is naturally questioning and skeptical; she has great faith in rational positivism and strives to be pragmatic. She has a considerable potential for accomplishment. Although others generally appreciate her conscientious, scrupulous conduct, her devotion to others and realism, they might be critical of her meek behavior and tendency to overthink. Indeed, she is so meticulous that she often “cannot see the forest for the trees” and may fret and worry unnecessarily over tiny details. She can even be cerebral about her emotions, and she might hesitate to give them free expression. She has a strong desire for self-improvement and transformation. Characteristically, she proceeds to do so by taking some sort of conscious action which she thinks will promote change and self-transformation.
Barbara Montgomery thrives in the peace and security of the nest. Her spouse and family will be an important part of her life.
Barbara Montgomery needs others to fulfill herself and accomplish her ambitions.
At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Virgo (the Virgin), while the sun was passing through the sign of Cancer (the Crab). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile.

Modesty – Sensitivity – Analytical thought – Imagination – Strict logic – Eccentricity – Attention to detail – Savings and thrift – Perfectionism – Suspicion – Anxiety and worry – Obstinacy – Nervousness – Premonition.
Very shy due to your sensitivity and impressionability, you may sometimes feel paralyzed by your emotions and feelings. You are somewhat nervous about the future and might take refuge from this sense of foreboding in a nostalgia for the past. What you fear is disappointment. Note that these inhibitions could slow your personal development. Although you have many skills and a great deal of potential, you need encouragement and support in order to take full advantage of your qualities, which can be defined as a gift for analysis and criticism, and a striving for perfectionism.
Barbara Montgomery was born on the seventh day after the new moon, a “first quarter” lunar type. This configuration means that she is strong-willed and determined to buck convention, always determined to 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 rants 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 peaks 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!
