There is a fundamental contradiction or opposition at the core of Jack Harlow’s personality, but it does not shatter his integrity. However, it causes his inner world to be complex, divided, or even torn, without ever being totally dissociated, because every thought and action is a source of unification. As a result, intellectually Jack is a talented syncretist. He is able to see the link between heterogeneous and diverse elements which do not appear to be related in the least. He can bring about surprising reconciliation, create unexpected bonds, combine beliefs which seem mutually incompatible.

Jack’s imaginative powers also flow from the division in his psyche and are evidenced by inspirations, visions, and abilities which exceed the context of logic and reasoning. He allows himself to be guided by irrational phenomena like foreshadowing or premonitions, which well up from the depths of his being. He is more of a medium than an intuitive, because intuition requires a clear consciousness of reality. He is borne along by currents and tides of knowledge and live in symbiosis with forces which overwhelm him. In fact, it is because of this relative passivity that Jack is more or less a medium, because he wishes merely to perceive what surrounds him; he has no wish to impose his will. Although this attitude endows Jack with great potential for productivity, it may also become dangerous, if he finds himself overpowered by forces he can never totally control. Jack tends to perceive things as undifferentiated; he does not always see the world as an organized, structured, hierarchical entity. Instead, Jack is sensitive to energy flows, to invisible forces which he perceives and try to interpret. His consciousness knows no bounds, and he does not feel confined by either space or time. But the image of the infinite imprinted on Jack’s imagination has a tendency to manifest itself with a lack of definition, in most of his thoughts and acts.

In relation to other people, Jack usually demonstrates warmth and humanism. He is a fairly pleasant companion, although his sensitivity can be annoying at times. Jack tends to identify with his friends to a great degree, instead of remaining apart and empathetic. In fact, Jack is capable of losing himself in another person at times. He should take time to reflect upon the quality of what he bestows on others and on whom he bestows it. Jack would doubtless come to the conclusion that his devotion is motivated by guilt feelings; his giving is a way of escaping from himself, and his broad tolerance sometimes merely hides a weak character. Jack’s basic aptitude for compassion could inspire him to relieve human misery, either privately or professionally. Hospital or prison work would not frighten him, because he understands them as closed environments which are open in terms of the inner adventures and journeys they house. Inner adventures are one thing Jack understands.

In his ideal, Jack feels capable of easing the worst suffering, but sometimes as he helps others overcome their problems, he is also trying to face up to his collective unconscious – that is, the final product of all his failures to assert himself, from childhood right up to adulthood. Because of Jack’s hypersensitivity, he is a fairly delicate person. He tends to go through sorrowful or depressive phases, long psychic tunnels where his anguishes lurk. Jack would be wise to withstand them instead of trying to escape. If he could detect what triggered his lack of confidence in his unconscious, Jack might be healed.

Due to the influence of Libra rising, Jack Harlow is a sensitive, delicate person who strives for harmony, both in his social life (in his relationships with others) and in his private life (in terms of art, grace, and beauty). As a result, his intimate ties (to a partner, for example) will be of primordial interest to him. He would feel unfulfilled if this aspect of his life were not successful. A lover of refinement and beauty, Jack has a taste for art and his senses are deeply offended by cheapness and vulgarity. He is happiest when he has an outlet for his sense of grace and beauty. Social and sociable, Jack ignores differences and does his best to avoid arguments and disagreements which trouble the smooth flow of his relationships. A committed pacifist, Jack has an innate gift for diplomacy, tact, social graces, and truth: a genuine talent for reconciliation! Because he is sentimental, Jack likes to make people happy and need to be loved and cared for in return.

Jack Harlow wields power and enjoys social prestige. He feels quite at home in the modern world others find frightening.

Jack Harlow’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. Jack is attached to his family, his heritage, and his past.

At the time of your birth, Harlow’s rising sign was located in Libra (the Scales), while the sun was passing through the sign of Pisces (the Fish). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide Harlow’s personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of Harlow’s character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Sociability – Emotionalism – Adaptability – Pliancy – Emotion – Humility and reserve – Tolerance – Idealism – Peaceful disposition – Sense of harmony – Intuition – Worldliness – Premonition.

Harlow is torn by a deep inner conflict between Harlow’s intellectual, rational, methodical side and a more romantic, emotional, sensitive tendency. Harlow’s spontaneous urges and feelings are often restrained by Harlow’s fussy, perfectionist reasoning; Harlow’s idealistic ambitions and fantasies are stopped short by the moral and social considerations imposed by Harlow’s intellect.

Conversely, Harlow’s analytical skills and critical judgments might be at odds with Harlow’s emotionalism and impressionability. Harlow must work to make these two influences mutually comprehensible, to achieve, upon maturity, a well-balanced personality enriched by opposing elements. The most promising way to resolve the conflict is by moderating Harlow’s sensitivity, developing Harlow’s decision-making capacities, and channeling Harlow’s energy. Without stifling Harlow’s intuition and imagination, Harlow must be wary of Harlow’s tendency to escape into a dream world.

Born in the three and one-half days after the full moon rose, Jack Harlow is said to be a “full moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives him an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, since the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, his objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull him in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – he may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for him.

At times, Jack is too demanding of himself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, he is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. He vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self.

Generally speaking, Jack’s monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. He would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
