Montelongo has a complex personality. He is stirred with contradictory impulses and desires, some of them imperious. Although his rational mind is highly developed and seems to be the source of motivation for his behavior, the most significant realm of his psychology is his subconscious. Therein, a conflict between understanding and feeling is raging, between the psychological functions of thought and sensation (C.G. Jung’s terms). Until this conflict subsides, he might feel a sensation of emptiness. He is troubled by and unable to explain this feeling, which leads him to adopt an attitude of doubt and skepticism. This conflict, and its various ramifications, are the main obstacle to his individuation. His task consists of becoming the master of the energies of his subconscious, and developing his consciousness in terms of the hidden and invisible. His evolution will occur through a series of metamorphoses and rebirths. However, at certain points in his life, despite his caution and clear thinking, he finds himself in situations he neither desired nor planned, as a result of explosions and eruptions of the elements fermenting in his psyche. He always survives the worst physical, emotional, or intellectual tests, however, fairly unscathed, because of his ability to be reborn and start afresh. As a partner, he might struggle to make compromises. He may appear frosty and distant at times, and he has a taste for challenging, provocative remarks. With himself, as well as with others, he is sometimes excessive and complicated. In a discussion, he will express strong, honest opinions. In crisis situations, he wishes for his efforts to be noticed. He is obsessed with the problem of death. He tends to believe it holds the secret of life – that death can be overcome. Sometimes his anxiety about death is expressed as a search for answers – how can one learn to live with death, how can one detach oneself from the past and its flesh-curdlingly morbid realities… Decay, immobility, ultimate delivery – these images, which are all symbolically associated with death, sometimes haunt him. Intellectually, he has powerfully developed intellectual faculties which yield the maximum effectiveness for his behavior. Deductive, analytical, prospective, he is at once a researcher, a detective, and a scientist. He is fairly introverted, and his discrimination tends to direct him toward the spheres of inner life. He is astute at drawing rational parallels between phenomena of different origins. His love life will be subject to desire and passion. But since he is more aroused by ideas

Armando Montelongo is sensual. Pleasure is important to him.

Armando Montelongo’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. He is attached to his family, his heritage, and his past.

You were born under the sign of Capricorn (the Goat), in the sun’s passage through the sign of Scorpio (the Scorpion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provides your personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Pugnacity – Need for security – Charisma – Inhibition – Dignity – Application – Shrewdness – Methodical mind – Concentration – Forethought – Optimism – Loyalty – Common sense.

Ambitious and passionate, but secretive and reserved, you have a stormy and sometimes difficult character. Dominating, you might show a certain edginess, repressing the expression of your sensitivity and mocking that side of others. But you are short-tempered and vulnerable, and react with causticity when you feel your ego is threatened. Your keen and penetrating intelligence and your lucidity make you curious about the hidden aspects of things—the action behind the scenes. As a result, you may take pleasure in divulging people’s emotional secrets. But on another level, you can expose the dysfunctional elements of something, resulting in a positive change. Your endurance and stubbornness give you the energy necessary for long-term projects. You alone can decide whether your goals will satisfy your own personal ambition, or a more vast and humanistic ideal.

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