Of a fairly introspective nature, you are attentive to your special inner qualities which enable you to perceive the very essence of the people you meet, the situations you encounter, and the objects you see. You have the ability to understand through your intuition. This faculty is based upon an openness to the other, and thus a certain duality: a budding extroversion, and the predominance of the object over the subject (yourself) in your consciousness. As a result, you have a strong sense of the group and would sacrifice your own ego rather than commit something that is a sin in your eyes, neglecting your social obligations or failing to fulfill your duties to the people you are close to. You can sometimes be perceived by others as unreliable or untrustworthy, due to a sort of opportunism or disloyalty. However, these are superficial characteristics. The real reason for your behavior is psychological and resides in the fact that you are ready to do anything to maintain the harmony of the group (or simply satisfy the expectations of the other). However, you sometimes lack self-assertion, and this makes you contradictory and unreliable when you face certain superficial decisions. Moreover, you have a chameleon-like ability to blend in with situations and prevailing moods. You are thus quite a success in social settings, and you thrive on friendships, partnerships, networks, and corporate liaisons. Your mind is amazingly flexible, arranging harmonious and productive encounters between people and ideas.

All of your emotional health is invested in a desire to participate, to mingle, to exchange. Although you are consciously aware of an ardent desire to be sociable, unconsciously you blame yourself for failing to achieve your ideal goal, which always seems to elude you. This is why you sometimes have phases of discouragement, followed by renewed zeal in your work efforts or group participation. Because you are always seeking the perfect group, the ideal form of cooperation, you sometimes despair of ever attaining it. You have a natural tendency to find common ground for people, to reconcile differing opinions and viewpoints, and you are partial to any arrangement which promotes cooperation or fellowship. Because you are not aggressive by nature, you know how to make peace; you are a skillful diplomat and go-between. As a corollary to your opening to society, you are closely related to your environment. The society in which you move contributes in large part to the formation of your character and attitude. Through social contacts and friendships, you have elaborated a personal code of

Due to the influence of Scorpio rising, Anneliese Van der Pol has a powerful, forthright nature with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. Her own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, staunch, realistic viewpoint, but she is curious about and critical of different ideas. Psychologically, she may be subject to feelings of insecurity which may prevent her from expressing her true self, forcing her to back off from her primary instincts and motivations. She tends to be fairly conservative and traditional. Her personality also gives her the potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician in any field. Her other natural resources are her rigid and unilateral determination, capacity for self-control, and the stubbornness and energy with which she overcomes obstacles.

Anneliese Van der Pol is highly aware of psychological, metaphysical, or mystical questions. The future may hold a complete psychological metamorphosis in store for her.

Anneliese Van der Pol has a somewhat secretive personality; she is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

Anneliese Van der Pol was born under the sign of Scorpio (the Scorpion), in the sun’s zodiacal sign of Libra (the Scales). Her rising sign is in tune with her personality traits, which include a propensity for pugnacity, as well as sociability and charisma. Adaptability and dignity are also important, as is her ability to concentrate and her peaceful disposition. Her shrewdness and tolerance are also noteworthy. However, her emotions can be intense and her sense of harmony and common sense are both very strong. Van der Pol has a worldliness and ambition that could take her far in life, but she is also quite capable of deep human understanding.

Born on the day prior to the new moon’s appearance, you are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. You are sometimes sorely tried to limit yourself to the narrow scope of individual ambition. Indeed, you aim for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. You fervently hope the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to seize every resource placed at your disposal: physical effort, money (if you have it), speech, your writings, and your poetic or artistic talents. However, you should be wary of your unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for you to devote yourself to your mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express your philosophy and free your conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
