The specificity of my personality can be summed up by your nostalgic yearning for your roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Your power is linked to memory. You inhabit a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize you in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates you to recreate a new harmony. Your attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If you think of it as a refuge, your obsession with it may be such that your progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, you think of it as a starting point or launching pad for your comprehension of the human condition, you will integrate it into your self-realization process. You possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom.

You are relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (your most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, you tend to limit the scope of your activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries you have established, release the entire spectrum of your rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce you to unfamiliar factors and elements; you see them as intrusions. Before you judge an event, a person, or a thing, you attempt to absorb it into your private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, you define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in you as your consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives your extreme sensory finesse. Your perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. Your imagination, which is a function of your perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific.

Because you are sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of your inner self, you may tend to withdraw into your shell when you encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security. Despite your sensitivity, and your ability to be genuinely virtuous, you are not always gentle. Your outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, your stubbornness, slow insistence, and undying determination are the extremes which may complicate your life.

Once again, the family setting is vitally important to you. Your attachment to your family in general and your mother or a mother figure, in particular, is deep. The way you resolve (or has resolved) the transition to adulthood and independence will be crucial to your well-being, both in terms of your inner harmony (the sensation and sensitivity which comprise your identity) and in terms of your romantic relationships.

Nick Austin needs movement. He is a talented communicator.

Nick derives great rewards from every source of pleasure or creation (physical, artistic, or emotional). Nick has a penchant for speculation.

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

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

Torn between his desire for independence and freedom and an undeniable need for security, he could have trouble finding an inner balance in the early part of his life. He is attracted by novelty and change and tempted by travel and exploration but also loyal to a small circle of interests and friends.

He is sometimes daring, sometimes cautious.

As an adult, he will probably achieve security and self-confidence when he creates his own home. At that point, all of his considerable resources will blossom: his mind will be open to intuitive intelligence emanating from his unconscious, and his fertile imagination will become a source of joy and creativity.

Born in the three days after the rising of the new moon, Nick Austin is said to be a “new moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives Nick a subjective character, somewhat impulsive and sometimes emotive. Generally, Nick does not see the world in objective terms; instead, he bases his attitude on the feelings various situations arouse inside him.

Likewise, in human relationships, Nick tends to project his imaginary reality onto others instead of seeing them for what they are. As a result, his judgements and reasoning are sometimes deprived of perspective.

Nick may want to make an effort to refrain from overinterpreting other people’s actions, because, being the product of his imagination in most cases, his interpretations are mistaken. If Nick applies himself to listening more openly, people may reveal their deeper motivations. He’ll be happier and more effective as a result.
