Anne Carson’s psyche follows an introverted thrust. She attempts to embody and actualize her ideas and the archetypes she identifies with in her objective life.

Anne Carson leads a life which is open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. She is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Anne Carson, although you contribute to important social causes or collective ideals, tends to keep your individual identity intact. For this reason, although you may become personally involved in social affairs, you are likely to resist any project you will be unable to lead yourself according to your individual direction. You tend to identify yourself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know yourself through this activity.

Anne Carson is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better herself socially and intellectually. Her ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and she will be eager to share them with others. Although she is kind-hearted, she enjoys being in control of situations. She derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround herself with people who need her. She is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. Her visions derive from her ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to her, and she will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals she sets for herself.

A struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of your psyche. However, mental skills and an ability to adapt to the reality principle predominate, though they are subject to impulses from dynamic and emotional principles. Intuition and practicality make a harmonious combination, yielding unusually clear insights into reality and its limitations. The resulting behavior patterns are efficient and practical. However, you may be a bit cautious and skeptical; your unwillingness to take risks may hold you back from gainful experiences, and you are only rarely eager to accept a challenge. Moreover, since your deepest emotions and feelings remain a mystery to you, your vision of the world is sometimes too rigid.

Anne Carson is aware of a lack of confidence in herself and in life. Prone to apathy, as if deprived of optimism and cheerfulness at some time, Anne may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which Anne may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, Anne was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, Anne is unable to move herself toward an improved, more positive disposition. Anne may reject any challenge that would enable her to surpass her current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of her problem, Anne may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to Anne, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.
