Ana Bárbara is patient. She is fond of routine, ritual, and any other events or ceremonies which mark the passage of time and the seasons. She tries to be as pragmatic as possible and unconsciously senses that her relationship with material things will be the best foundation for her self-development and individuation. As a result, she is attached to her possessions and will make every effort to cling to them.

Ana Bárbara has a paternal complex, stemming from the fact that she lacked a father figure during her childhood. As a result, she developed a system to protect herself from negative influences and to grow into her own self. This system has been helpful to her in the past, but it has now settled into a groove which hinders her growth. Because of this, Ana Bárbara has trouble asserting herself in certain situations, and she can be awkward or passive. She also has authoritarian urges which are mainly directed at herself, and she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself harshly, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, Ana Bárbara will build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Ana Bárbara has great strength of character. Her courage and endurance enable her to accomplish even extremely arduous tasks. Although she sometimes behaves impulsively, she generally knows how to plan out an effective strategy, and, as a result, she reaches her goals without meeting any major obstacles.

Ana Bárbara is an individualist who is convinced that the most precious basic values for her are freedom and independence. She has thrown off what she perceives as the burden of the conventions 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.

Ana Bárbara

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

Ana Bárbara has an emotional nature that often causes her to react impulsively and excessively when her sensitivity is touched. Although she believes that her independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, she sometimes feels frustrated by her need to rely on family or friends. Moreover, she does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as her own. Likewise, she can be angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if she fears that it will doom her to eternal dependency. Her ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship she had with her mother or a mother figure. Although she was dependent on them, they may have rejected her. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which her sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To avoid her feelings of dependency, Ana Barbara sometimes becomes destructive. Based on denial, her reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Ana Bárbara learned to experience love in a different way from her family, social class, or religion. She is determined to experiment with a new style, and her idealistic aspirations may be a form of escapism. They encourage her to cast off conventional romantic practices and customs and embark on new adventures.

Ana Bárbara’s birth chart indicates 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.

Ana Bárbara is sensitive and vulnerable, easily discouraged in love. It will take her a long time to detach herself from her family, and she will be defenseless by herself. Her constant need to be reassured limits the scope of her relationships. She moves within a narrow circle. A romantic setback could traumatize her. As a result, the one she commits to is primordial.

Ana Bárbara has trouble making commitments because she is afraid of getting emotionally involved with people. Her past relationships have all been plagued by crisis because of this fear. She is maturing and hopefully will be able to overcome this problem. She will be able to have a fulfilling social life while still being able to love and be loved in her home.

Ana Bárbara 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.

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

Ana Bárbara expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
