Bob Balaban is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in his psychological make-up, Bob Balaban has acquired a deep sense of his individuality and uniqueness. Bob Balaban sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of himself, Bob Balaban 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 Bob Balaban’s 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. Bob Balaban sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. Bob Balaban 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. Bob Balaban may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives Bob Balaban to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on his ego. By creating something, Bob Balaban 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 Bob Balaban seeks to identify with his superego. The difference between Bob Balaban’s ideal of himself and the individual Bob Balaban 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 Bob Balaban’s state of mind. It is therefore important for Bob Balaban 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 Bob Balaban’s personality. Bob Balaban’s dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; Bob Balaban’s strong instinct and ambition combined with his somewhat exaggerated individualism incline Bob Balaban to be self-focused.

Bob Balaban was born under the sign of Scorpio (the Scorpion), in the house of Leo (the Lion). His rising sign indicated that he had a personality that was predestined for great conquests and important battles. He had a temperament that demanded initiative and leadership, and his faith was all his own. He had a propensity for self focus, and his ability to concentrate, organize, and work found its best opportunity for expression through his conquests and battles. However, he had weaknesses that he would do well to explore. He held the promise of great success, as long as he simplified and softened his ideals.

Bob Balaban was born on the seventh to tenth day after the new moon. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that his character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to him, and he chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, he often runs into trouble with authority figures. When overwhelmed by his conscience, he rages 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, his monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. He would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, his initiatives will be most successful, especially if he is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
