Armando Rubio is trying to overcome his feelings of insecurity. To do so, he needs a safe place: a dwelling, a territory, or perhaps a safe space or setting where he can rest, and let down his systems of defense against the outer world, which he finds aggressive and hostile. He is ready to make some sacrifices in order to maintain and consolidate the structure he has chosen. True inner security, based on real knowledge of himself, his abilities, and his shortcomings, his strengths and his weaknesses would no doubt be most effective and would allow him to remain open to the varieties of experience offered by the world.

At the moment of your birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. You thus enjoy a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche, between your determination and your routines, between your drive for self-assertion and your receptivity, your ideal and your sensitivity. Your parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to you, and it is likely that they encouraged you to develop your own individuality. As a result, you were and are able to be comfortable with yourself as you are instead of striving to attain your parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family. In your emotional relationships with your peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images your ego projects on the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

Armando Rubio may experience mood swings, going from phases of frenzy combined with a feeling of omnipotence and exaltation to phases of apathy and inertia. During his “highs,” his 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 his immense need to assert himself as an individual. How can he find a way out of this vicious cycle which uses up so much of his energy? He would have to understand that the source of his attitudes and behavior is an unconscious desire for power. He suggests that he meditate upon power, skills, mastery, challenge, desire, and need, his brothers (or brother substitutes, such as friends, cousins, or classmates) – who are key figures – and his adversaries. This should enlighten him. Of course, once he has a clear awareness of his career ambitions and profound desires, he is sure to have plenty of energy to accomplish them.

You are an individualist who is convinced of the importance of freedom and independence. You have thrown off what you perceive as the burdens of social conventions and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Your passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble your relationships, as you may be an uncompromising partner. You would do well to learn to recognize your own limitations and accept the responsibilities you have to other people, or you are liable to find yourself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of your somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in your relationship with your father or your teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way as you now refuse to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision you make as an adult, you are forced to rely on yourself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits you must impose on your desires in relation to reality and the law.

Armando Rubio appreciates 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. He needs to be aware that his life has a purpose and hunt for it in various belief systems, both traditional and new age. In fact, he has an unmistakable gift for philosophy. The faraway appeals to him, and travel is likely to be an important aspect of his life.

Armando Rubio maintains strong ties with his past, and it often seems difficult for him to open his heart to new people. His love affairs might exist on the surface level, because his lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for him to meet partners who combine the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

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

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and your 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 whatsoever. 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. Through self-work, you can rid yourself of these phantoms. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Armando Rubio resents having to impose limitations on himself, and he may sometimes try to dodge obligations and commitments. The obstacles and hindrances reality places on his path to personal and social development tend to depress him. He sometimes broods bitterly about the frustrations to his self-fulfillment and might have a fairly pessimistic vision of society and its possibilities.

Armando Rubio is a very sexually active person. He enjoys the physicality of sex and the connection it creates with his partners. He is very aware of his own needs and takes great pleasure in satisfying them. However, if he is in a relationship that does not offer him the same level of sexual satisfaction, he can feel frustrated and restless. He tends to be a demanding and restless partner, often questioning the importance of the relationship in light of his own needs.

Armando Rubio has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of his emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule his sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

Armando Rubio’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. He enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with his gaze riveted on the future, he is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Armando Rubio has a relatively unstable love life, especially when it comes to relationships. His bonds can easily shatter, or he may experience problems adapting and understanding. He must honor his taste for liberty. If he feels stifled, he may break off a relationship or run away from it.

Armando Rubio prefers tenderness to wild passion. His ideal partner would be a person who is gentle and affectionate. A warm and secure home life will bring him fulfillment, and he will devote himself, body and soul, to his family.

You were hypersensitive and tended to relive the anxieties, apprehensions and romantic absolutes of your first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. You were exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. You would not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. You were sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to you. You usually hid your emotional reactions or did not even allow them to reach the level of your consciousness, in an effort to protect your sensitivity, which you saw as your weak point. You were fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, you would disguise your strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside you, and you felt unworthy of the love which was lavished on you. This psychological prohibition which ruled over all of your desires and affected your ability to have a fulfilling romantic life should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, your fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of your romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if you want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify yourself emotionally, the defense mechanisms you have elaborated to make yourself inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled. Any profound relationship will also require that you learn how to forget yourself occasionally in the other.

Armando Rubio has a fairly skeptical temperament. His analytical and critical faculties rely on remarkable sensitivity and curiosity. He is a keen observer of facts and collects detailed information that he will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, it sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.

Armando Rubio expresses his thoughts and ideas carefully, but with a relative lack of spontaneity. He is rather introverted and looks inside himself for the solutions to the problems he encounters in life. Because he tends to mistrust customary thought patterns, his opinion is usually highly personal.

Armando Rubio feels that his intellect and wit are sometimes slowed down because he is turned inward. Because he tends to be oriented toward himself, he rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, he sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult for him to express the complexity of his inner perceptions.
