What is Barry Kerch’s Personality Type?
You are a person who is highly emotional and sensation-oriented. As a result, you have developed a deep sense of your individuality and uniqueness. Sometimes you feel “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of yourself, you attempt to behave differently, to impress the crowd. This often results in you behaving in a grandiose and exaggerated way. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because your impressive deeds usually earn recognition for you, and reinforce your self-assurance and your certainty that you do indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. You also like to take risks and give people advice. However, at the core of your conduct is a feeling of social anxiety. This unconscious anxiety is probably unconfessed or unconscious. It may drive you to create something, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on your ego. By creating something, you can make your own individual mark on the world. You can also organize it to reflect your own image, instead of allowing yourself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in your own image are strong indications that you seek to identify with your superego. The difference between your ideal of yourself and the individual you know yourself to be in truth, measured in terms of your social recognition or the recognition of your creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine your state of mind. It is therefore important for you 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 your personality. You may be proud, but you are also courageous, determined, and generous. You have the skills of an educator or an artist. Moreover, you are mysteriously lucky.
Due to the influence of Libra rising, Barry Kerch treasures harmony and will actively, if not passionately, strive to achieve it, both in his social life (in his relationships with others) and in his private life (in terms of art, grace, and physical beauty). As a result, his intimate ties (to a partner, for example) will be of primordial interest to Barry, and he would feel unfulfilled if this aspect of his life were not successful. Still, Barry will do well to choose his partners carefully, and avoid rushing into marriage just to placate someone else’s anxiety. His sense of grace and beauty must also find an outlet, such as dance, if Barry is not to feel frustrated. Social and sociable, Barry commits himself entirely to his relationships and may take great pains to restore peace in his surroundings or mend bruised feelings in those around him. Barry is a born diplomat, and his passionate sense of justice, truth, and grace give him great gifts for promoting mutual understanding and harmony.

Barry Kerch has found that friendship and membership in groups are vital to his personal self-fulfillment.
At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Libra (the Scales), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). 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:
Sociability – Adaptability – Determination – Emotion – Pride and self-assurance – Tolerance – Superiority – Peaceful disposition – Brilliance – Sense of harmony – Generosity – Worldliness – Optimism.
Because you have been endowed with great esthetic sensitivity, you need and love beauty, order, and harmony. Your extreme sociability and difficulty bearing discord are likely to cost you some of your independence, if you are not careful. However, you have remarkable organizational and management skills. Your optimism and enthusiasm, tactfulness, and sincere concern for others make you a natural leader.
Born in the three and one-half days before the full moon rose, you are said to have a “gibbous moon” lunar configuration. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you a rich, complex personality, although you are sometimes troubled by the feeling you are struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that you are lacking something may preoccupy you until you find a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of your devotion. Devotion will be important to you as a foundation for your inner and outer development. If you fail to encounter a great and noble cause to which you are willing to pledge yourself, you could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract you. Whatever you decide, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that you will approach your own self-transformation.
