Ayden Mekus is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in his psychological make-up, Ayden Mekus has acquired a deep sense of his individuality and uniqueness. He sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of himself, Ayden Mekus attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of his efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because his impressive deeds usually earn recognition for him, and reinforce his self-assurance and his certainty that he does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. He sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. He likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of his conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. He may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives him to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on his ego. By creating something, he can make his own individual mark on the world; he can organize it to reflect his own image, instead of allowing himself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in his own image are strong indications that he seeks to identify with his superego. The difference between his ideal of himself and the individual he knows himself to be in truth, measured in terms of his social recognition or the recognition of his creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine his state of mind. It is therefore important for him 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 his personality. His dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; his strong instinct and ambition combined with his somewhat exaggerated individualism incline him to be self-focused. He may be proud, but he is also courageous, determined, and generous. He has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, he is 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). As a result, your intimate ties (to a partner, for example) will be of primordial interest to you. You would feel unfulfilled if this aspect of your life were not successful. Fairly ambitious by nature, you’re something of a social climber. You are happiest when you have an outlet for your sense of grace and beauty. Social and sociable, ignoring all differences, you do your best to avoid arguments and disagreements which trouble the smooth flow of your relationships. A committed pacifist, you have an innate gift for diplomacy, tact, social graces, and truth: a genuine talent for reconciliation! Because you are sentimental, you like to make people happy and need to be loved and cared for in return.

Ayden Mekus finds his work rewarding. Daily life and routine activities are excellent sources of self-fulfillment for him.

Ayden Mekus regards membership in groups as a vital part of personal fulfillment.

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). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Sociability – Adaptability – Determination – Emotion – Pride and self-assurance – Tolerance – Superiority – Peaceful disposition – Brilliance – Sense of harmony – Generosity – Worldliness – Optimism.

Because you have been endowed with great esthetic sensitivity, you need and love beauty, order, and harmony. Your extreme sociability and difficulty bearing discord are likely to cost you some of your independence, if you are not careful. However, you have remarkable organizational and management skills. Your optimism and enthusiasm, tactfulness, and sincere concern for others make you a natural leader.

Born on the day before the new moon, you have a spiritual character that is closely attached to humanitarian ideals. Sometimes, you are 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 most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
