An extroverted intuitive, you are open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. You have a special duality to your mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving you great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, you have a great sense of your fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, your advice is often sought.

Overall, you welcome the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy you, you have the ability to cheer yourself up rapidly and are quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for you. It is up to you to renew yourself, to behave in such a way as to drain your environment of fearsome or threatening aspects. You are usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within yourself, you sense the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of your ideal and all your hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in your striving to free yourself and your fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, you display a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces you intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because you are quite sociable, the only thing you instinctively grasp profoundly is social action and organization. Your perception of your own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, your grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide your unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, your fear of strong personalities. But you are above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of your spirit, and you are continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As you apply yourself to ignoring whatever is impervious to your aspirations, you should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for you and the world.

You are likely to be colorful and extremely unconventional. Eccentric to an extreme, you enjoy the unheard-of and the outrageous. You are liable to take pleasure in switching sides in the middle of a discussion and adore proclaiming contradictory certainties to a baffled but appreciative audience. Your extremely lively mind and brilliant, original sense of humor and verve make you a great social success. You are memorable. Inspired by humanistic and generous ideals, you are in continual rebellion against the constraints and conventions of society and the unfairness and discrimination they lead to. You draw vital energy from your freedom, and if forced to comply with authority or discipline, you are likely to feel frustrated.

With the advent of maturity, however, you should be more comfortable with your personal choices and find it easier to make compromises to convention.

Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, you are of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, your personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. Your ideas are original and often bold, but, to your dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers. Your sense of humor is your best communications tool, but you often switch to a more severe tone which breaks your charm over your audience, and your methods do not always please the masses.

Although you are not unduly attached to success, because you are so used to being ahead of your time, your failures take a psychological toll on you. Because each setback wears you down a little more, you should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
