You are sober and reserved and may even strike people as rigid and austere at times. Perhaps you were raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety as a child, and, as a result, became an adult a little too fast. In any case, you quickly acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and a strong sense of your personal dignity and worth. At work, you are skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but your lack of self confidence and personal assurance hinder your decision-making skills. Although you would deserve a prominent executive position, you might refuse any that are offered due to your fear of being in the limelight. You are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who are patient, which, in your case, is true. The psychological mechanisms described above are probably the result of a paternal complex. In childhood, your identity may have been too strongly attached to that of your father or a father figure, for one of the following reasons:- the bond with your father was too close,- your father was absent and/or idealized,- your father was too strict, etc.In any case, this psychological particularity can act either as a handicap or as an opportunity for the individual to overcome yourself. It will result in two groups of opposite but complementary reactions which will rule your behavior all your life:- hypersensitivity or insensitivity- intense life wish or discomfort with life- obsession or renunciation- skepticism or fanaticism- asceticism or lust- jealousy or indifference- effort or lazinessThe so-called “Saturnian” phases (at age 7, 14, 21, 28 or 29, and 35 years) will be transitional periods that give you an opportunity to resolve this complex in real life.

Alex Wood is an incredibly sensitive and receptive person who often lives 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.

Alex Wood tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. He tends to give the best of himself in difficult situations which require crucial choices. His ability to concentrate and his gift for solving problems by deductive reasoning are his chief resources in crisis situations or at turning points in his life.

Alex Wood needs physical and mental freedom. His youth and home may have been of the rootless, wandering type, which could have given him a taste for movement and independence.

The faraway appeals to him, and travel is likely to be an important aspect of his life.

Alex Wood is an optimistic and happy associate. He is generous and gives of himself and his belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy.

By old age, his good reputation and prominence may have earned him fame.

Alex Wood looks for the ideal love, and idealizes his friends and lovers. He may prefer to dream of his soulmate instead of making love to one; he is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. His idealism may hide a fear of truly committing himself to a relationship; he tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to him: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Alex Wood tends to be naive and idealistic when it comes to love, which can often lead to him getting entangled in unlikely or at the least complicated emotional situations. In many cases, he will be irresistibly attracted to someone who is not at all right for him or whose aspirations are diametrically opposed to him, which can cause conflict in his relationship.

You are characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive you to seek pleasure. Your need for romantic fulfillment may compel you to marry, because you also seek 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 you had indeed achieved success. However, privately, you might be less committed to certain obligations and duties. At worst, you might deny the commitments that your optimism and expansiveness made you rush into too soon. If this were to be the case, the outward image of the couple’s success (wealth and comfort, etc.) would only be a façade which compensated for its emotional impoverishment and failure. Sooner or later, this hypocrisy might provoke a full-blown conflict. A second possibility is that a psychic incompatibility may gradually take root, pitting your romantic nature against the prerogatives of your career.
