James Charles’ personality is mind-oriented. He understands and relates to the world around him via the medium of thought and intellect. Memorization, comparison, analysis, and the verbalization of his mental imagery are his favorite activities. He seeks to extend his personality by a mental outreach to a multitude of new ideas and factors, becoming acquainted with an ever-increasing variety of facets of human nature. Thus, language and symbolic expression, written or oral, are his primary resources in life, although they are also potential pitfalls. His eloquence, wit, and verve, his mastery of language, unquestionably give him power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). But taken to extremes, this faculty may lead to incoherency.

It is thus vital for James Charles to find an outlet for his flow of verbal expression, he must explain, communicate, and speak. If it is dammed up, he will undoubtedly suffer. His flow of words is the expression of his vital energy, the proof that he is alive and well. If he is forced to be silent, he would be cut off from the bonds that hold him together. A kind of duality or split personality might emerge… remember Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? “They” were a classic case. For all of the above reasons, James Charles is naturally gregarious and sociable.

James Charles makes friends quickly and easily. His contacts and networks are important to him, because they enable him to evolve. They are a source of self-fulfillment and identification. Any form of play is also important to James Charles, and only severe depression will deprive him of his playfulness. He sometimes amuses himself by acting out a variety of roles on the stage of life, just for the fun of it. His animation and wit give him a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability is a two-bladed sword. James Charles is liable to find himself in a superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in order to move about more freely. He is also sensitive, but his emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of his intellect. Thus, he cannot free himself to the strength of great passions and energies without idealizing them to a certain degree and giving them intellectual resonance. Wary of his irrational instincts and urges, he tends to control or repress them.

But James Charles will do well to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a complex inner world, he sometimes feels vulnerable, due to his emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer world. Because he relies first and foremost on his adaptability and agility to wriggle out of trouble, he may, on certain occasions, make rather dubious compromises with himself – all the more likely if his moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the case, instead of steel. The weaknesses James Charles must overcome are instability, wishy-washiness, a lack of determination and coherence in his thought.

James Charles yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

James Charles has a strong personality; he is sometimes a little self-centered. His fate is in his own hands!

Born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, James Charles is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. 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 raves 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!
