You are a very observant person, always paying attention to the details of your surroundings. You are able to understand people and situations through your intuition, and this makes you very successful in social settings. You have a strong sense of the group, and would rather sacrifice your own ego than commit something that is a sin to you. You can sometimes be seen by others as unreliable or untrustworthy, due to your opportunism and disloyalty. However, these are superficial characteristics, and the real reason for your behavior is psychological. You are able to make peace, and are skilled at diplomacy and go-betweening. As a corollary to your openness to society, you are closely related to your environment. The society in which you move contributes in large part to the formation of your character and attitude.

Due to the influence of Sagittarius (the Centaur-Archer) rising, Mike Sherm, like the half-animal, half-human Centaur, has a dual, ambivalent nature, vagrant and capricious. It is natural for him to be simultaneously conventional and rebellious. He can happily submit to society and convention for a time, only to emerge committed to rugged individualism, or vice-versa. His inner attachment to an ideal of liberty and emancipation does not prevent him from adopting a sociable, pleasant attitude at social events. This dichotomy in his personality grants him such useful social skills as adaptability and poise, but inside, he faces a quest for his true identity and consciousness. His primary psychological task is to maintain the harmony reigning between the two entities dwelling within him. He must not limit himself to being either one or the other. He will achieve true psychic and existential stability by personifying a blend of these two behavioral tendencies. When he is comfortable with his individuality, he can radiate optimism and energy; flexible and elastic, he will delight in any change or unpredictability, without losing sight of his long-term purposes. Eminently social, he will express his true nature by becoming deeply involved with groups and taking on duties and responsibilities as a member. He will enjoy his ability to infuse them with his idealistic enthusiasm and visions for the future. His special gifts for dealing with energy make him apt to occupy a position of great social responsibility.

Mike Sherm has high social aspirations. He believes that by gaining total control of his intellect, feelings, and instincts, he can achieve them.

Mike Sherm is attentive to work and profit. He will probably be financially comfortable throughout his life.

As an artist or student of art, you have a profound sense of beauty (harmony, rhythm, composition, associations and juxtapositions, etc.). You like your independence, but will nevertheless bow to custom and usage in good grace. Your sense of fairness and justice is keen, and you spontaneously take up the cause of the defenseless.
