Ava Bartello has a very intuitive nature, being able to perceive the essence of people and objects. She has a strong sense of the group, and is often seen as unreliable or untrustworthy due to her opportunism and disloyalty. However, these are superficial characteristics, and the real reason for her behavior is psychological. Ava is partial to any arrangement that promotes cooperation or fellowship, and she loves to charm and be charmed. She excels at the subtle art of amorous conquest, and enjoys laughter and chat which hints at the promise of even greater pleasure in store. She is skilled at alluding to unnamed urges while seeming to engage in polite conversation.

Due to the influence of Sagittarius (the Centaur-Archer) rising, Ava Bartello, like the half-animal, half-human Centaur, has a dual, ambivalent nature, vagrant and capricious. It is natural for her to be simultaneously conventional and rebellious. She can happily submit to society and convention for a time, only to emerge committed to rugged individualism, or vice versa. Her inner attachment to an ideal of liberty and emancipation does not prevent her from adopting a sociable, pleasant attitude at social events. This dichotomy in her personality grants her such useful social skills as adaptability and poise, but inside, she faces a quest for her true identity and consciousness. Her primary psychological task is to maintain the harmony reigning between the two entities dwelling within her. She must not limit herself to being either one or the other. She will achieve true psychic and existential stability by personifying a blend of these two behavioral tendencies. When she is comfortable with her individuality, she can radiate optimism and energy; flexible and elastic, she will delight in any change or unpredictability, without losing sight of her long-term purposes. Eminently social, she will express her true nature by becoming deeply involved with groups and taking on duties and responsibilities as a member. She will enjoy her ability to infuse them with her idealistic enthusiasm and visions for the future. Her special gifts for dealing with energy make her apt to occupy a position of great social responsibility.

Ava Bartello yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Ava Bartello has a somewhat secretive personality; she is tempted if not compelled to live a somewhat withdrawn life.

Deeply social and liberal-minded, you have a great sense of diplomacy and a gift for reconciling differing viewpoints. Friendly and willing to be of service, you are unable to refuse an appeal for help, and your courtesy can tend toward a certain sentimentalism. As a result, you commit yourself to too many people at the same time, and may sometimes feel spread too thin.

As an artist or student of art, you have a profound sense of beauty (harmony, rhythm, composition, associations and juxtapositions, etc.). You like your independence, but will nevertheless bow to custom and usage in good grace. Your sense of fairness and justice is keen, and you spontaneously take up the cause of the defenseless.

Ava Bartello was born on the seventh to tenth day after the new moon, which is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This means that she is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to her, and she chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, she often runs into trouble with authority figures. When overwhelmed by her conscience, she raves about how destructive it is to long for the past, how ridiculous it is to be old-fashioned, and how obsolete the old values are. Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow peaks about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. At that time, her initiatives will be most successful, especially if she is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
