An extroverted intuitive, you are open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. You have a special duality to your mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving you great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, you have a great sense of your fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, your advice is often sought.

Overall, you welcome the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy you, you have the ability to cheer yourself up rapidly and are quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for you.

However, in your striving to free yourself and your fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, you display a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces you intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because you are quite sociable, the only thing you instinctively grasp profoundly is social action and organization. Your perception of your own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, your grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide your unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, your fear of strong personalities. But you are above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of your spirit, and you are continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As you apply yourself to ignoring whatever is impervious to your aspirations, you should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for you and the world. In fact, in relation to your ideal, you behave realistically, although others are unable to perceive your realism because you expressed yourself in such an

Born at the height of the full moon, you are blessed with a natural ability to see things in a more holistic way – a “soli-lunar” configuration. This gives you a clear and objective view of the world, as well as a rational, lucid character. However, as the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, your tendencies are also balanced by a more idealistic side.
