KJ Apa’s 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 him 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, he is naturally gregarious and sociable.

He 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 him, 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. He 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 he 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 he must overcome are instability, wishy-washiness, a lack of determination and coherence in his thought.

KJ Apa is dynamic. He needs to attract admiration and release his excess energy.

KJ Apa’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. KJ Apa is attached to KJ Apa’s family, KJ Apa’s heritage, and KJ Apa’s past.

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

Need for contact – Need for security – Mental agitation – Inhibition – Frivolity – Application – Dilettantism – Methodical mind – Immaturity – Forethought – Communication – Loyalty – Inner duality.

Two diametrically opposed tendencies struggle to rule his personality. As a result, his ability to concentrate is troubled by a tendency to drift away from the subject. An insatiable curiosity nags at his preference for withdrawal and solitude, and his striving for security and stability are continually sabotaged by a need for movement and novelty.

But he has great potential. Intellectually, he can easily open his mind to new knowledge, his analytical and critical abilities being sharpened by his curiosity. However, his will – apparently resolute and determined – actually flip-flops incessantly within him, and his inner debates can be agonizing. Only maturity will enable him to find a true balance between the forces contending for rule over his behavior. To do so, he will have to muster discipline and concentration. Distance and sometimes solitude will be necessary for him to mull over the impressions and influences he receives from outside.

Born in the three and one-half days before the full moon rose, KJ Apa is said to be a “gibbous moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives him a rich, complex personality, although he is sometimes troubled by the feeling he is struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that he is lacking something may preoccupy him until he finds a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of his devotion.

Devotion will be important to him as a foundation for his inner and outer development. If he fails to encounter a great and noble cause to which he is willing to pledge himself, he could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract him. Whatever he decides, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that he will approach his own self-transformation.
