You are an intensely emotional person. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in your psychological make-up, you have acquired a deep sense of your individuality and uniqueness. You sometimes feel “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of yourself, you attempt to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of your efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. 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 sometimes make an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. You like to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of your conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. You may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives you to create, 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 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. Your dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; your strong instinct and ambition combined with your somewhat exaggerated individualism incline you to be self-focused. 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, you treasure harmony and will actively strive to achieve it, both in your social life (in your relationships with others) and in your private life (in terms of art, grace, and beauty). However, your independent and individualistic nature give you a high ideal of your own freedom and a burning desire to stand out from the crowd and create an innovative and unconventional lifestyle for yourself. As a result, much of your ambition for total harmony will be shifted to your intimate ties (to a partner, for example), and this relationship will take on central importance.

You should be aware of this aspect of yourself, and choose your partner or partners carefully, because you would be sorely disappointed if you had to sacrifice your freedom to your love life. Your ideal mate will share your unconventional ideas and tastes for change and novelty. In terms of broader social and professional relationships, you must learn to exercise your innate sense of truth and generosity to serve others. You could then become a great diplomat or negotiator. Your creativity and taste for art must also be allowed some outlet, or they are liable to increase your feelings of restlessness and frustration.

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). This indicates that you are a sociable person who is adaptable and determined. You have a strong emotional side and are proud and self-assured. You are tolerant and have a peaceful disposition. You are very intelligent and have a great sense of harmony. You are also generous and have a worldly outlook.

Born on the day prior to the new moon, you are said to have a lunar constitution, which gives you a spiritual and humanitarian disposition. At times, you find it difficult to limit yourself to the individualistic goals of ambition. Indeed, you aspire to create a humanitarian ideal that would include those who are marginalized and unfortunate. To bring about this goal, you are likely to use all of your resources-physical, financial, and verbal-to reach your objectives. However, be wary of your unconscious guilt feelings; there is no need to devote yourself to your mission entirely. A simple daily effort will suffice. Usually, the three days prior to the new moon will be the most favorable time for your actions and your general energy level.
