You are an introvert. You are often withdrawn and have a fairly chilly, nonchalant personality. Although you are introverted, you are extremely rational. You are wary at times 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. Readings which others would find abstract and intellectual impress you as reflections of important and lively realities. As a result, you have a penchant for reflection and philosophical study.

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.

Born on the seventh to tenth day after the full moon rose, you have a “last quarter” lunar personality type. As a result, you are independent and self-sufficient. Ideas that you have are original and often bold, but they don’t always garner a majority of followers. Your sense of humor is your best communication tool, but you often switch to a more severe tone which breaks your charm over your audience, and your methods don’t always please the masses. Your lack of flexibility hampers your strategies and projects, and you would gain by developing your sense of diplomacy and tact.
