Eva Gutowski is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in her psychological make-up, she has acquired a deep sense of her individuality and uniqueness. She sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of herself, she attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of her efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated.

It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because her impressive deeds usually earn recognition for her, and reinforce her self-assurance and her certainty that she does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. She sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. She likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of her conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. She may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society.

The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives her to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on her ego. By creating something, she can make her own individual mark on the world; she can organize it to reflect her own image, instead of allowing herself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in her own image are strong indications that she seeks to identify with her superego. The difference between her ideal of herself and the individual she knows herself to be in truth, measured in terms of her social recognition or the recognition of her creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine her state of mind. It is therefore important for her 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 her personality. Her dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; her strong instinct and ambition combined with her somewhat exaggerated individualism incline her to be self-focused. She may be proud, but she is also courageous, determined, and generous. She has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, she is mysteriously lucky.

Due to the influence of Capricorn rising, Eva Gutowski has a personality which may seem somewhat aloof, withdrawn, and introspective. In fact, Eva is not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and leads the independent life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, Eva is still shrewd in her insights and judgments. Eva has a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to her. An idealist, Eva prizes order, self-mastery, and tried-and-true traditional values. Eva’s personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values – philosophical or scientific facts in relation to spiritual values. Sometimes Eva seems detached and weary, or disillusioned, and she does not appreciate the social whirl. Eva does not readily express her feelings and emotions, but deep inside, she has great sensitivity. Eva’s sense of time, a true instinct, is very important. It rules and coordinates all of Eva’s activities.

Eva tends to place her emotions in the forefront. She is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.

Eva is attentive to work and profit. She will probably be financially comfortable throughout her life.

At the time of my birth, Eva’s rising sign was located in Capricorn (the Goat), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide her personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of her character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Narcissism – Need for security – Determination – Inhibition – Pride and self-assurance – Application – Superiority – Methodical mind – Brilliance – Forethought – Generosity – Loyalty – Optimism.

Her energetic, proud, and self-admiring side engages her guileful, withdrawn, calculating side either in conflict or in cooperation, depending on the circumstances.

Her authority and determination often monopolize her energy, at the expense of her emotions. Or she may find herself distracted from pursuing her goals by the whisperings of her heart. By middle age, however, she should reach a balance which gives liberal expression to all her gifts. Control over her emotions, pride, and passions should then give her access to the highest realms of self-realization.

Born between three and one-half and seven days after the rising of the full moon, Eva is said to be a “shining moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives her a shining personality which is apt to communicate and transmit ideas.

Throughout her life, she will be attracted to the idea of acting as a spokesperson for a cause, idea, or person whose message seems essential to her. She will have to develop her powers of discernment, to determine which subjects or people are really worth her personal commitment.
