Your personality is adaptable and gregarious. You make friends quickly and easily, and your contacts and networks are important to you because they enable you to evolve. You are also sensitive, but your emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of your intellect. Thus, you cannot free yourself to the strength of great passions and energies without idealizing them to a certain degree and giving them intellectual resonance. Wary of your irrational instincts and urges, you tend to control or repress them. But you will do well to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a complex inner world, you sometimes feel vulnerable, due to your emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer world. Because you rely first and foremost on your adaptability and agility to wriggle out of trouble, you may, on certain occasions, make rather dubious compromises with yourself – all the more likely if your moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the case, instead of steel.

Born in the three and one-half days before the full moon rose, Alanis Morissette is said to be a gibbous moon lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives her a rich, complex personality, although she is sometimes troubled by the feeling she is struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that she is lacking something may preoccupy her until she finds a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of her devotion. Devotion will be important to her as a foundation for her inner and outer development. If she fails to encounter a great and noble cause to which she is willing to pledge herself, she could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract her. Whatever she decides, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that she will approach her own self-transformation.
