A Martinez is a meticulous and dogged worker, gifted for tasks which require great precision and discipline. He might struggle with pessimism about his own self-worth and try to compensate for this feeling by constantly keeping busy and devoting himself almost entirely to those close to him.

A Martinez is an individual who is free-thinking and believes in individual liberty. He has thrown off the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Passionately conviction, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising partner. He would do well to learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people. If he doesn’t, he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of his somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in his relationship with his father or his teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, he may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with his father, in the same way as he now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision he makes as an adult, he is forced to rely on himself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits he must impose on his desires in relation to reality and the law.

A Martinez is very sensitive and receptive and tends to live in osmosis with her surroundings. Her individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over her, and she often finds it difficult to communicate her feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but due to her lack of inner structure and organization, it is difficult for her to grasp the essence of her dreams and share them with other people. She is not at all combative, and this hinders her efforts to fit into society and assert herself productively. Her tendency to prefer fantasy to reality and her refusal to abandon her unattainable dreams is a psychological trap she has fallen into without realizing it. She must understand that by escaping from her obligations and commitments, she only increases the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once she free herself from this pernicious process, she has a great deal of potential for fulfilling herself in the outer world, either by devoting herself to the community or by cultivating her considerable artistic talents.

A Martinez is gentle and sensitive. He is sociable and devoted to others. His mother or a mother-figure had a strong influence on his psyche, and his childhood was an important time in his life. He still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the basis for his reveries, for his extreme sensitivity, and for habits which he may be slow to break. However, he will thrive in the shelter of a family setting, soothed by the presence of a spouse and children. He is fond of security and routine; being somewhat impressionable and anxious, he may have trouble adjusting to situations which are unfamiliar.

A Martinez has an intelligent mind that is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, he does not always avail himself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although he enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, his thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. He is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste his nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, his feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause him to make errors in judgment.

A Martinez is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find him generous almost to a fault! He gives of himself and his resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when he is self-focused. He reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, his everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, he senses a conflict between his social life and his family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill himself in both spheres at the same time. His attitude toward his private life may inhibit his ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on his private life. He should be careful not to project his personal problems onto his partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, they might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

A Martinez has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate she imagines for herself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between her splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. She should be careful not to confuse her romantic ideal with reality and become aware that her tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from herself.

A Martinez’s birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, she is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

A Martinez lives in a state of psychic tension due to the conflict between the conscious, masculine, active principle and the unconscious, feminine, passive one. This need to seduce and to be surrounded by love is intense, and he is afraid of loneliness. Tender and affectionate, he nevertheless charms people with his gentleness. His family (most likely his mother) has a great deal of sway over him and his decisions.

A Martinez must not confuse the heart’s logic with sexual needs. This is the psychological rule at the root of your suffering and disappointments. Carried away by an overwhelming physical attraction, Martinez may find himself in the arms of a jealous partner. Martinez would be well advised to take a long, hard look at his feelings before committing to a long-term relationship.

A Martinez has the passionate, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of the main purposes in life. Your personal charm and magnetism are compellingly seductive; unfortunately, your attempts at conquest do not always lead to the fulfillment and satisfaction of your desires. Due to your impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, your approach to those you are attracted to may sometimes lack tact and delicacy. As a result of the foregoing, it may be somewhat difficult for you to maintain stable and harmonious relationships. Indeed, your emotional behavior is subject to a conflict between your quest for love and your need to satisfy your lust. Your outpourings of affection and your need to be loved in return sometimes create complicated situations in which lust may be confused with love, or love may exist without lust, and you may feel unrequited or unfulfilled. This inner contradiction is a sign of your tendency to derive pleasure from suffering – either your own or that of your partner. The relationship thus becomes the setting for a sort of power struggle, weakening it as a source of psychological equilibrium. Nevertheless, you could sublimate this difficulty through artistic expression.

A Martinez may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

A Martinez has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. A Martinez is emotive and hypersensitive, making them especially vulnerable emotionally, since they are sometimes overwhelmed by their feelings and affects. Although A Martinez seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom they could maintain blissful, smooth relations, they are sometimes met with disillusionment. Because their rather excessive sensitivity and their need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge their judgment and discernment, so A Martinez sometimes form extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When A Martinez meets someone, they fall under the enchantment of their dream of ideal love and cannot keep themselves from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, A Martinez yields to another of their characteristic urges and loses themselves in the individual who is so dear to them, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find themselves as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, A Martinez’ psyche is constructed in such a way as to make their sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before taking on any major commitments, A Martinez should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates their intense love, for they may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. A Martinez’ tendency to believe in their illusions may mark them as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for A Martinez to find a different object for their affections, or a form of sublimation, because they tend to be so disappointed by their great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of A Martinez’ imagination procure artistic refinement for them, and they love the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because A Martinez’ sensitivity also makes it easy for them to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties their peers are struggling with, they might also find it rewarding to commit themselves to social work.

A Martinez has a shrewd, inquisitorial mind. As a result, she can detect the truth behind appearances and the cause behind the effect. Although this way of thinking is based on a certain logic, it is not always purely intellectual. Indeed, its sources lie in a certain empiricism, in facts which have been experienced. So, her fields of application are highly diverse, although research in the hard sciences, psychology, and metaphysics seem to be the best career choices.

A Martinez tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. His thoughts are usually structured, and his reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.

A Martinez has a structured mind and penetrating intelligence. His thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding, the consequence of some failure or humiliation during his formative years. He is fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tends to doubt in himself and his intellectual skills despite his undeniable gifts as a thinker. He should become aware that his thought patterns and habits are the sign that he is on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give him an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort. His mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, he is particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. His contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career he chooses, he should learn to work alone, because he tends to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. He will also have to learn to conquer his impatience, because he tends to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause him to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, he should find the courage to question his convictions.
