You have
powerful emotional attachments to the past, your
family, your childhood, those places you
associate with safety and security and your
beginnings. Maintaining a connection with your
roots and heritage and keeping family bonds
strong are very important to you. Loyal, devoted,
and sentimental, you tend to cling to whatever is
dear to you, be it person, familiar place, or
cherished possession.
You are sympathetic, nurturing, supportive,
and very sensitive to the emotional needs of
other people. You like to be needed, to care for
others, and you often worry about the people you
love. You have a very strong need for a sense of
belonging and acceptance, and you center much of
your life around your home. You are more
concerned about people and their feelings than
with power, achievement, or position in society.
Kindness, consideration, and tenderness impress
you more than any sort of honor the world can
bestow.
You are primarily emotional and your views
are often dominated by your feelings and by your
own personal, subjective experiences, rather than
reason, logic, or abstract principles. It is
difficult for you to judge situations in a fair,
objective manner for your personal sympathies and
loyalties usually enter in. You take things very
personally, and sometimes build a wall around
yourself to protect yourself from pain and
rejection. You feel rather shy and vulnerable at
heart. You also tend to be moody, experiencing
frequent emotional ups and downs. You need to
have a place and time in your life to withdraw,
introspect, dream, and replenish yourself;
otherwise you become cranky and unhappy with
those around you.
You function in an instinctive,
nonrational manner and like to immerse yourself
in creative activities where you can express your
feelings, imagination, and instincts. You often
love to cook, since it can be both creative and a
way to nurture and nourish others. You also have
a great affinity for music, because it evokes and
communicates feelings that may be difficult or
impossible to put into words.
Your compassion, sensitivity, and
imagination are your strong points. Your faults
include an inability to release the past and go
forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a
tendency to be self-pitying when you meet
hardships in life.
Section 2:
Mental Interests and Abilities
You are highly
interested in inner, subjective, and personal
issues, and your thinking is based more on
feelings, intuition, personal experiences, and
prejudices rather than reason or logic.
Intellectual abilities and accomplishments
without heart or soul mean little to you. You are
empathic and would be an excellent counselor, for
you are a sensitive listener and deeply
interested in a person's feelings and inner life.
In addition to psychology, you are drawn to
education, art, poetry, music, or mythology. You
are not especially confident about speaking in
public, but will open up and share your thoughts
in small, intimate groups. You enjoy keeping a
diary or personal journal and reading the
chronicles of others' lives and personal
development.
