Benny the Butcher has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within his psyche: one is related to his instincts and endows him with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires him with a precise awareness of his purpose and dignity as a human being among his fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble his quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty he must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, he must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if he identifies with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, he can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding he derives from it. In daily life, he could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. Indeed, he has the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of his thought is apt to enable him to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, he can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, he has a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. He conceives of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that he is not an idealist. If he seeks an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. His originality comes from the fact that he always strives to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values. All of these skills and resources predispose him to devote himself to society. In the process, however, he is likely to overdo it to such a degree that his own personality is overshadowed. That is, he would identify too heavily with his social mask (his persona) and lose awareness of his individuality.

Due to the influence of Aquarius rising, you are an independent and individualistic person who is sometimes aggravated by outer discipline and authority. Your need to preserve your originality and freedom often inspires you to display eccentric and unconventional behavior, even if it shocks the people around you. You are also reluctant to be tied down unnecessarily, so you may exaggerate your detached “lone wolf” aspect. Actually, you are passionately fond of developing a strict and monastic inner discipline. Others generally appreciate your optimism and intellectual qualities, the originality of your opinions, and the subtlety and keenness of your insights. However, your taste for paradox and provocation may not be for everyone. You are attracted by exploration and discovery and enjoy modernistic or futuristic settings. As a result, you may feel somewhat out of place socially in a traditional environment. It is important for you to commit yourself to groups which share your ideals and conceptions of their purpose and that you assume responsibilities, such as transmitting the enthusiasm of your visionary projections. You are exceptionally talented for parceling out energy, and could successfully assume an executive or managerial role. Although you are more mind-oriented than sensual, you are quite honest when expressing your emotions, which often feel more platonic than passionate.

Benny the Butcher needs others to fulfill himself and accomplish his ambitions.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Aquarius (the Water Bearer), while the sun was passing through the sign of Sagittarius (the Archer). 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: Independence – Impetuosity – Rebelliousness – Enthusiasm – Originality – Group spirit – Fluctuation – Impressionability – Irritability – Analytical mind – Inventive spirit – Worldliness – Sense of paradox – Projection. Impulsive and dynamic, you will settle for nothing less than righting the world’s wrongs by becoming involved in great utopian projects or espousing eccentric ideas. Fundamentally free and independent, you dream of faraway adventures, of discovering novelty in every sense, intellectual or mystical. You are always surprised when your idealistic goals do not always elicit everyone’s interest, and at times, you feel misunderstood. Your fields of expression should be moral, so political philosophy, applied psychology, sociology, teaching, etc. would be great fits.

Born on the day of the full moon, you are a “lunar” personality type. This configuration gives you an objective, rational, and lucid character, balanced by an idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull you in two different directions – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, you are too nonchalant and indulgent about life. You vacillate between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. You would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.

This could yield a high degree of psychological compatibility and powerful mutual attraction. The physical and psychological reality of their personality will exert a magnetic pull over the sensitivity, receptivity, tenderness, and other key qualities of their partner.
