Amybeth McNulty is searching for stability; she wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for her life. But her efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, she is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time she reaches what she believes to be a good balance, she realizes she wants something entirely different. She would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Amybeth McNulty has a paternal complex. Because of this, she has some trouble finding her identity. Her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with her evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself, and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Amybeth McNulty’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling her psyche. Because her sensitivity is in conflict with her determination, her attitude and performance may be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, she has the feeling she has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging her yearnings and fulfilling her ambitions. Her unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of her conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage her plans. In her relationships, the images she builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, also grates on her nerves. She finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Amybeth McNulty is vigorous and energetic, with an immense need to assert her individuality. Her attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power. She puzzles the people close to her, who cannot understand whether her behavior is the result of pure selfishness or merely of an excess of energy. She is lively, alert, and determined, but she is too easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit her power. She has a short temper and must learn to control her impulsiveness, which might expose her to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Amybeth McNulty is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. She was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. She has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tend to be rather uncompromising, and have a touchy sense of her personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though she was fighting an inner battle with her father or a father figure. The psychological models she received from her father or a father figure as a result of her interaction and her own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping her relationships with the outer world and society. She may thus have been forced to compensate for this with individual determination. As a result, although she is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes her timid and hesitant. She sometimes feels as though she is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. She tends to be far too critical of herself and rarely feels satisfied that she is living up to her ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead her to turn down the prominent career positions for which she is fully qualified. She is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like her.

Amybeth McNulty is an individualist who is convinced that her most precious basic values are freedom and independence. She has thrown off what she perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of her social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Her passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble her relationships, as she may be an uncompromising partner. She would do well to learn to recognize her own limitations and accept the responsibilities she has to other people, or she is liable to find herself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of her somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in her relationship with her father or her teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, she may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with her father, in the same way as she now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision she makes as an adult, she is forced to rely on herself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits she must impose on her desires in relation to reality and the law.

Amybeth McNulty is a gifted speaker and charismatic person with a powerful personal magnetism. She cares a great deal about her reputation, and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around her.

Indeed, she has special dramatic and artistic talents which make her well-suited for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general.

Her partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to her and capable of enhancing her reputation.

Amybeth McNulty has a sensitive personality. She may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. She is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in her behavior may be explained by emotional problems she may have experienced in infancy: her mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Amybeth McNulty had trouble distinguishing dreams from reality.

She has an undeniable gift for oratory which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression (as a stage or screen actor). Writing and dance, two other arts which associate expression and movement, might also be fields in which she would excel.
