You are an introvert who is drawn to the spiritual. You are wary of the outer world, your senses, and even your intellect because they might all be sources of illusion. Your quest for identity with a spiritual whole gives you a voracious appetite for ideologies, structures, and theories. You are intrigued by difficult problems and enjoy solving them. There is no difficulty which can discourage you from the goal you have decided to reach for yourself. Your depth of vision, common sense, and caution, your tendency to be a bit calculating and sometimes conservative, your stamina, and your independent mind all give you the ability to tackle difficult tasks. Your concentration gives you an undeniable gift for abstraction and conjecture. As a theoretician, you aim to discover what is essential and universal. Indeed, you seek to go beyond what is relative, contingent upon circumstances, or inadequate, to reach the absolute truth you fervently desire. Your budding intuition is extremely receptive to the sacred or holy. As a result, the ideal or cause you espouse will be related to the concept of universality or totality. Since your lifetime adventure is based in part on this absolute truth, it is important for you to make an effort to define its nature. What sort of universality are you striving for; what spiritual Everest (in yourself or outwardly) are you trying to scale? In fact, you tend to like mountain climbing, because of the effort it requires. It’s a great joy for you. Alone at the peak, you can contemplate and understand everything. In pursuit of this absolute center (positive or negative) which animates you, you are shrewd and persistent. Stamina and endurance are resources of which you are quite confident. Your existence and organism are arranged to optimize them; others may consider you slow, but you are really just playing it safe, because, unconsciously, you know time is on your side. When you take an initiative, it is after careful forethought and preparation. Your great composure, ability to resist and overcome obstacles and wickedness, and your foresight give you a great potential to accomplish total self-control. However, you must beware of one pitfall: excess. You tend to be a bit too rigid and intolerant; in intellectual pursuits, you can tend to be dogmatic, hermetic, or conformist. Some people criticize your obsession with labeling things. A creature of duty, naturally sober and relatively self-disciplined, sometimes a little too demanding of yourself, you might commit yourself to a productive lifestyle as

Due to the influence of Pisces rising, you are a psychic’s sensitive and emotive personality. You are suggestible and fairly easily influenced, generally friendly and cheerful, but sometimes evanescent. Your temperament is sometimes passive due to a lack of pugnacity, and you are often reserved and perhaps even timid in unfamiliar surroundings. Conversely, you can be expansive and garrulous in more reassuring settings. At times, you feel guilty about your passivity, and to rid yourself of it, you try to make yourself useful to others. The same feelings may help you redirect yourself, overcome your insecurities, and find new faith in yourself. In relation to others, you are receptive, intuitive, and exhibit an almost extrasensory perceptiveness and ability to listen; your broad mind and flexibility inspire respect and esteem. Combined with these, your native warm-heartedness and fairness could bring you great success socially, and help you find personal fulfillment and happiness in your career activities.

From the outside, you appear cautious and severe, but inside, you are sensitive and giving. Because you are excessively impressionable, you are reluctant to express your true self. You hide your deepest impulses behind a mask of distance and remoteness, feigning indifference if not faint-heartedness. However, you are deceiving mainly yourself. Your powers of concentration and determination, your great ability to control yourself, and the analytical and interpretative qualities of your mind are important assets. If you develop them, you will have the potential to accomplish great things.

Born three and a half to seven days after the rising of the new moon, you are said to be a “lunar crescent” type. This “solo-lunar” configuration indicates that you may need to make an effort to free yourself from the past. Something related to your childhood, parents, or ancestors is holding you back, impairing your effectiveness and could stand to be overcome. Due to your past, you refuse tried-and-true models, are always fighting to justify your innovative viewpoints, and tend to break away from tradition. You are hardly ever aware that you are making career and lifestyle choices which are based on an urge to modify your relationship to society, and the rigid standards and models from the past.
