Dan Mintz is an introspective person who is attentive to the people and things around them. He has a strong intuition based on his openness to the other, and this allows him to perceive the essence of people and things. He is also skilled at blending in with the environment and prevailing moods, which makes him successful in social settings. He has a strong desire to participate and to be sociable, but sometimes he is perceived as unreliable or untrustworthy. This is due to a psychological need for the group which is based in his duality between the subject and object in his consciousness. He sometimes has phases of discouragement, followed by renewed zeal in his work efforts or group participation. He has a natural tendency to find common ground for people, to reconcile differing opinions, and to be partial to any arrangement which promotes cooperation or fellowship. He is skilled at making peace, being a diplomat, and alluding to unnamed urges while seeming to engage in polite conversation. He also loves love and appreciation, and is touched by praise as much as he is upset by criticism. He has a vital need for others and loathes solitude. His emotional functions are central to his psyche, and the encounter with a kindred spirit could be a turning point for him, a momentous event in his life. Since he is aware of this, and his tactfulness makes him quite successful with his love interests, he may be content to go from affair to affair without ever settling down.

Due to the influence of Scorpio rising, you are a powerful, forthright person with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. Your own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast viewpoint, and though you oscillate between objectivity and subjectivity, you are curious and critical in a constructive way. You have the mental potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician. You also exert a strong attraction and can be quite charming, so you are bound to be a social success. You possess rigid and unilateral determination, a capacity for self-control, and the ability to face challenges with stubbornness and energy. You are sensual and sensitive, and love and lust will be vital to your destiny. Because you seek intense emotional experiences and your instincts sometimes control your feelings, your love life will not be bland or banal.

Dan Mintz thinks that friendship and membership in groups are vital to his personal self-fulfillment.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Scorpio (the Scorpion), while the sun was passing through the sign of Libra (the Scales). 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:Pugnacity – Sociability – Charisma – Adaptability – Dignity – Emotionality – Shrewdness – Tolerance – Concentration – Peaceful disposition – Optimism – Sense of harmony – Common sense – Worldliness. You are alternately forgiving and fastidious, cooperative and individualistic, friendly and opportunistic. Ambitious and somewhat conspiratorial, you have a certain taste for power. Nevertheless, you are a stubborn and hard worker. The fact that your dignity is easily wounded sometimes causes conflicts in your work environment. You are also capable of forgiveness and deep human understanding, but your sense of values and truth always overwhelms any sentimental tendencies you may have. Intellectually, your skills for analysis and discernment allied with an innate sense of proportion and balance could take you far in almost any field if you learn how to sustain them with application and hard work.

Born on the three days before the new moon, you are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. You are sometimes 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 dedicate 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 time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
