Section 1: Approach to Life and Appearance To Others

Forward-looking and progressive, he a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interconnection and interdependence of all people, and is always relating personal issues to some larger framework. He sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, social justice, etc. color his whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one SHOULD feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, he himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and can be eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. He is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, he is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. He probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of his closeness with others is based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see him as a good friend and comrade, who is objective, fair, and rather detached emotionally. He does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.

He is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Not comfortable with traditional sexual roles, he is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. He needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a back seat to his work or outside social involvements.

Section 2: The Inner Self and Motivations

He is a person who thrives on challenge, and often feels that he must battle his way through life, depending upon no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence, and courage. He believes in being totally honest, true to oneself and one's own vision and convictions, even if that means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor, and authenticity are his gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

He craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. He likes to be the chief -or to go it alone.

He loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes, bring in some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are like death to him. He is not afraid of trying something that's never been done before, and even though he may be seen as a fool sometimes, he also discovers, invents, and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for him, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic, and assertive. He believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and thinks of himself as a strong person -even invincible. He hates being ill orr in any way in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.

He can be aggressive in his attitudes and have less facility in the receptive arts of relating to others, picking up subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing, and harmonizing. Often he gets so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas, and feelings would go a long way in improving his relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes him to be rather insensitive, and to therefore alienate others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his ends by using anger or some version of a temper tantrum. He would gain much by learning to slow down, relax, and just let things be sometimes, but his energetic, restless nature rarely allows him to do this.
