Arca is a serious, steadfast individual who tries to stay grounded. Her ambitions are strong, and she will always be seeking a higher social position. Sometimes, she adopts a strategy of solitude and introversion.

You may experience mood swings, going from phases of frenzy combined with a feeling of omnipotence and exaltation to phases of apathy and inertia. During your “highs,” your behavior is vigorous and dynamic, but it is also likely to be somewhat excessive. These periods tend to be interspersed with “lows,” phases of sluggishness and inhibition, which compensate for your immense need to assert yourself as an individual. How can you find a way out of this vicious cycle which uses up so much of your energy? You would have to understand that the source of your attitudes and behavior is an unconscious desire for power. We suggest that you meditate upon power, skills, mastery, challenge, desire, and need, your brothers (or brother substitutes, such as friends, cousins, or classmates) – who are key figures – and your adversaries. This should enlighten you. Of course, once you have a clear awareness of your career ambitions and profound desires, you are sure to have plenty of energy to accomplish them.

Arca is lively and expressive, with a personality that is sometimes agitated but straightforward. Unconscious feelings of insecurity compel her to act and sometimes to seek the admiration of others. As a result, she is unable to bear idleness and routine, and she is in search of perpetual excitement. Her reactions to others are highly individual and depend on the mood she is in at any given moment. A person of decision, a businessperson or an athlete, she often personifies boldness and impetuosity. Her love life is liable to be fiery, as it obeys the imperatives of her desire for freedom and independence, and her need for change.

Arca’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, Arca does not always avail himself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although Arca enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, Arca’s thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. Arca is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste his nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, Arca’s feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause Arca to make errors in judgment.

Arca has a sensitive and affectionate nature. She seeks tenderness and gentleness more than passion. Her relationships with others are smooth and pleasant, and she has a natural sense of tact and social grace.

Arca is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find him generous almost to a fault! He gives of himself and his resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when he is self-focused. He reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, his everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, he senses a conflict between his social life and his family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill himself in both spheres at the same time. His attitude toward his private life may inhibit his ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on his private life. He should be careful not to project his personal problems onto his partner. If, instead, he analyzes the problem together, he could find opportunities to resolve it together.

Although your exterior is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved and tend to forbid yourself any emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. It should be easy for you to rid yourself of these phantoms through self-work. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. However, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Arca has a nagging feeling of insecurity which affects its psychology and dampens its natural enthusiasm. Its need to take action and assert itself is sometimes disturbed by this gnawing fear.

Arca is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as its sensitivity is touched. Although it feels that its independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, it is sometimes frustrated by its need to rely on its family or friends. Moreover, it does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as its own. Likewise, it is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if it feared that it would doom it to eternal dependency. Its ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship it had with its mother or a mother figure. Although it was dependent on them, they may have rejected it. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which its sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off its feelings of dependency, it sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, its reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Arca is sensitive and imaginative, and sometimes has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although her bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern her self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient in a relationship. In Arca’s view, everything is a dream – even relationships with others.

Arca experiences love in a different way than was taught to her by her family, social class, or religion. She is determined to experiment with a new style, idealistic aspirations being a form of escapism. This encourages her to cast off conventional romantic practices and customs and embark on new adventures.

Arca’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings, she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Arca is both gentle and ardent, understanding and excessive, tormented by contradictory psychic forces. In her love life, her need to be loved and protected opposes her taste for independence; her need for harmony is always betrayed by the strength of her urges and affects. The choice of the right mate, although crucial to her well-being, will be extremely difficult.

When it comes to romance, Arca exudes a cheerfulness and warmth which wins her many a heart. A light-hearted and dynamic companion with an ability to take initiative in and direct the relationship would bring her the emotional balance she sometimes lacks. Mutual tolerance will ensure the survival of the commitment.

Arca’s mental aptitudes make her especially good at comparing, evaluating, and weighing information. This intellectual modus operandi has enabled her to develop an innate sense of values, both artistic and ethical, as well as a remarkable ability to relate to other people. Her appreciative, conciliatory attitude makes her a skillful diplomat able to untangle conflict situations deftly and with ease. In other situations, her artistic spirit is sensitive to a wide variety of harmonies.

Arca expresses its thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. It is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, it looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

In relations with other people, your behavior is usually kind and benevolent. You exert a certain charm and know how to speak persuasively and convincingly. However, in situations where you must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, you may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave. You have 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 you would excel.

Arca is difficult to integrate new ideas and concepts or to give your thought structure and coherence. You have a distaste for study and may find it difficult to muster the effort required to learn new things. You may harbor feelings of insecurity that are so acute that they may undermine your will and therefore your ability to compete. However, if you overcame these emotions, you would see that you have plenty of marketable skills and that many satisfactory solutions to your feelings of ineptitude and inadequacy are within your reach.

You have a natural inclination for expression and communication. You cannot survive without sharing your thoughts and speaking to other people. You enjoy the power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with your words. Particularly attracted to anything new and original, you immediately grasp the value and utility of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be and have a talent for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because you are fairly high-strung, you may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. You may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency. Your openness gives you creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career you choose, your personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.
