Jin has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within Jin’s psyche: one is related to Jin’s instincts and endows Jin with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires Jin with a precise awareness of Jin’s purpose and dignity as a human being among Jin’s fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble Jin’s quest for inner harmony at times.

However, the difficulty Jin must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, Jin must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if Jin identifies with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, Jin can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding Jin derives from it. In daily life, Jin could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, Jin has the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of Jin’s thought is apt to enable Jin to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, Jin can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems.

On another level, Jin has a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. Jin conceives of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call Jin an idealist. If Jin seeks an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Jin’s originality comes from the fact that Jin always strives to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values.

All of these skills and resources predispose Jin to devote Jin’s self to society. In the process, however, Jin is likely to overdo it to such a degree that Jin’s own personality is overshadowed. That is, Jin would identify too heavily with Jin’s social mask (Jin’s persona) and lose awareness of Jin’s individuality.

Jin is dynamic. Jin needs to attract admiration and release his excess energy.

Jin needs others to fulfill themselves and accomplish their ambitions.

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

Sensitivity – Impetuosity – Imagination – Enthusiasm – Eccentricity – Group spirit – Savings and thrift – Impressionability – Suspicion – Analytical mind – Obstinacy – Worldliness – Premonition – Projection.

Torn by Jin’s yearnings for freedom and independence and Jin’s undeniable need for security, Jin will have to work hard in the early part of Jin’s life to find inner harmony. Although Jin is attracted to novelty, like exotic travel destinations and exploration, Jin is aware that some inner necessity links Jin to a small circle of interests and friends. Jin may reproach Jin for Jin’s egotism.

Because Jin is subject to the pull of these contradictory desires, Jin’s daily behavior could alternate between boundless enthusiasm and anxiety. However, Jin’s imaginative talents could enable Jin to experience fantastic adventures without leaving the comfort of Jin’s own home, and here lies the fulfillment of Jin’s aspirations.

As an adult, Jin will probably find the feeling of security and confidence whose lack troubled Jin earlier in life. At that point, Jin’s considerable human qualities will blossom. Jin’s free spirit will be open to the intuitive messages arriving from Jin’s unconscious, and Jin’s amazingly fertile imagination will become a source of pleasure and creativity.

Born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, Jin is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that Jin’s character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to Jin, and Jin chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, Jin often runs into trouble with authority figures.

When overwhelmed by Jin’s conscience, Jin 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, Jin’s monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. Jin would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, Jin’s initiatives will be most successful, especially if Jin is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
