Alan Haynes experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Alan Haynes is a social being oriented toward other people, whose personal interests often mingle with those of his associates or those of the group to which he belongs. He is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

Alan Haynes is attracted to interpersonal activities, but his significant need for inner security stands in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with them. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were he to evaluate his psychological development, he would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Alan Haynes thinks, intuits, and perceives primarily through the mind. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, and eager to participate in everything that happens around him. His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, Alan would seek a spiritual or artistic inspiration that would provide both mutual inspiration and emotional support. He is light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, never letting himself be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, Alan’s buoyancy borders on indifference.

You struggle to get into natural harmony with the physical world and the limitations and restraints it places upon you. Idealistic, you tend to be somewhat disconnected from practical considerations, and barely pay any attention to material things like food, money, your surroundings, and so on. You tend to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until your lack of material resources – an issue to which you usually grant no importance – becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead you to see yourself as unfit for this world. You may think you cannot attach yourself to anything that would sustain your efforts at self-expression. However, your impractical nature offers many positive aspects. You see life’s possibilities as limitless. You are apt to develop your imagination or pursue a spiritual quest in order to transcend the material world.
