You have a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within your psyche: one is related to your instincts and endows you with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires you with a precise awareness of your purpose and dignity as a human being among your fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble your quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty you must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, you must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if you identify with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, you 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 you derive from it. In daily life, you could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, you have the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of your thought is apt to enable you 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, you can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, you have a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. You conceive of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call you an idealist. If you seek an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Your originality comes from the fact that you always strive 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 you to devote yourself to society. In the process, however, you are likely to overdo it to such a degree that your own personality is overshadowed. That is, you would identify too heavily with your social mask (your persona) and lose awareness of your individuality.

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

Alexis Vega wants to wield power and enjoy social prestige. She feels quite at home in the modern world others find frightening.

Alexis Vega has a somewhat secretive personality; she is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

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 form, 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 in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, Alexis Vega’s personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. Her ideas are original and often bold, but, to her dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers. Her sense of humor is her best communications tool, but she often switches to a more severe tone which breaks her charm over her audience, and her methods do not always please the masses. Her lack of flexibility hinders her strategies and projects, and she would gain by developing her sense of diplomacy and tact. Although she is not unduly attached to success, because she is so used to being ahead of her time, her failures take a psychological toll on her. Because each setback wears her down a little more, she should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
