then, who ever has a clear view of themself If you know me, see what

Character and
Personality:
The following
paragraphs concern the study of MARSHA's personality, as
induced by the positions of the planets and Rising sign. Some of the
character
traits mentioned may seem completely contradictory and
incompatible.
This is because the rough-hewn personality is a rarity.
Usually,
individuals are made up of a subtle orchestration of many
different
tones or aspects. However, serious introspection or detailed
analysis
should make it possible to distinguish the opposing or diverging
images
comprising MARSHA's overall character, and perhaps, in time,
find
the best and most harmonious way to integrate them.
An extroverted
intuitive (to use C.G. Jung's terms), MARSHA is open to the
reality
of the world, objects, and others. She has a special duality to her mind,
which
is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving
her
great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, she has a great
sense
her fellow woman, and the oracular art of divining people's unconscious
wishes
and motivations - in fact, her advice is often sought. In material terms,
it
gives
her a talent for locating lost objects, and a spirit of discovery and
invention.
Overall, MARSHA welcomes the signs arriving from the outer world in
a positive
and liberal way, and even incites them to promise more than they can
provide.
However, when something does not satisfy her, she has the ability to
cheer
herself up rapidly, and is 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 MARSHA. It is up to her
to
renew
herself, to behave in such a way as to drain her environment of fearsome
or threatening
aspects.
MARSHA
is usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within herself, she senses
the
presence of a " new life. " It is the crucible of her ideal and all her
hopes.
The
" new life " may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation;
whatever
they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern woman,
oppressed
and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in her striving to
free
herself and her fellow women from a social contract based on the power
of
sheer
lucre and corrupt lobbies, MARSHA displays a singular inclination to
depend
upon the very social forces she intends to topple. The reason for this
is
that,
because she is quite sociable, the only thing she instinctively grasps
profoundly
is social action and organization. Her perception of her own
personality
is vague or even negative. In fact, her grandiose personal gestures
are
motivated by a need to hide her unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at
times,
her fear of strong personalities. But she is above all an idealist. Hope
is
the
prime mover of her spirit, and she is continually traveling along the axis
of
the
hope/despair polarity. As she applies herself to ignoring whatever is
impervious
to her aspirations, MARSHA should acquire some certainty of what
is still
possible - for her and the world. In fact, in relation to her ideal, MARSHA
behaves
realistically, although others are unable to perceive her realism
because
she expresses herself in such an unconventional and eccentric
fashion.
She
is passionately committed to the quest and research she has initiated,
and
will
pursue it with determination if not fury. She judges and defines herself
in
opposition
to society, and human relations are vital to the evolution of her
personality.
An elitist, she does not believe in human equality, preferring
individuality.
She seeks a way to unite them without abolishing their differences.
She
would like to create a utopian community with no ideological imperatives,
a
self-ruled
entity which would recognize its own spirit as the only authority. Her
definition
of friendship is spiritual love, because it establishes a subtle, vast,
and
delicate web of bonds, not only between people, but between people and
things.
She imagines a vow of true friendship as a form of freedom which
reassures
the freedom of others, instead of threatening it. However, she should
become
aware that this ideal harmony, which is often rather difficult to put into
practice,
sometimes hides an unavowed fear of deep commitment to another
person.
For this reason, her love life is among the more erratic.
Warm
and giving to the world in general, in certain special cases she may
become
cold or even distant. She is determined to elude any perceived threat to
her
freedom, and picks her way through a world of paradoxes and
contradictions.
Her sensuality is associated with her imagination, and she loves
people
not for what they are in reality, but for the way her imagination
transfigures
them. The result is many a cruel disillusionment. But when she
falls
in love, it's for real.
MARSHA
finds her work extremely rewarding. Daily life and routine activities
are
excellent sources of self-fulfillment for her.
MARSHA
tends to live in an imaginary world; the distant and abstract
sometimes
interests her more than what is right at hand and realistic.
At the
time of MARSHA's birth, her Rising Sign was located in Scorpio
(the
Scorpion), while the Sun was passing through the constellation of
Aquarius
(the Water Bearer). A summary of the various clues mentioned
above
provide MARSHA's personality profile; the following key words
distill
the essence of her character and indicate certain contradictions
which
may be sources of tension:
Pugnacity
- Independence - Charisma - Rebelliousness - Dignity - Originality -
Shrewdness
- Fluctuation - Concentration - Irritability - Optimism - Inventive
spirit
- Common sense - Sense of paradox.
Tactless
and almost severe, lively and irritable, rebellious and haughty,
MARSHA
is bound to have complex and ambiguous relations with other people.
She
feels she is an exceptional human being, and her goal is to make her
originality
and creativity manifest. Convinced of her superiority and the
originality
of her mind, her faith in her solitary and individualistic lifestyle is
never
shaken.
Her inventive, inquiring mind is much gratified thereby. Her sense of
contradiction
and taste for paradox will be a source of trouble in her
relationships
with other people. But she is bound to explore new horizons, far
from
the beaten track, in the hinterlands of invention and innovation.
Born
in the three days prior to the New Moon's appearance, MARSHA is said to
be of
the " Balsamic Moon " type. This soli-lunar configuration gives her a spiritualistic
character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. She is
sometimes
sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual
ambition.
Indeed, she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the
outcasts
and the unfortunate: she fervently hopes the meek will inherit the
Earth.
To bring about this ideal, she is likely to seize every resource placed
at
her
disposal: physical effort, money (if she has it), speech, her writings,
and her
poetic
or artistic talents. However, she should be wary of her unconscious guilt
feelings.
Actually, there is no reason for her to devote herself to her mission
entirely;
a simple daily effort should suffice to express her philosophy and free
her
conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the New Moon will be time
in
the
monthly lunar cycle most favorable to her activities and her general energy
level.
Due to
the influence of Jupiter dominating her birth chart, MARSHA has
undeniable
social ambition and many resources with which to achieve it (see
CAREER
POTENTIAL). Relatively confident in herself and her abilities, she has
the
potential to be a leader and chief. It therefore seems probable that she
will
rise
to success. However, she should question herself about what sort of
success
she seeks, and at what price. She should be aware that the taste of
victory
may be bitter if she finds she has sacrificed other aspects of life, like
love,
friendship, or creativity, to obtain it. She must consciously select what
she
is willing
to invest in order to secure honor, money, and social consideration.
