Artemis, due to your unconscious feelings of insecurity, are fairly individualistic. Although you sometimes mingle with groups for their competitive atmosphere, you will rarely join in them wholeheartedly, preferring to work on your own projects independently. A lack of confidence in yourself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. Your lack of self-esteem may also sometimes inhibit the full expression of your generosity and love.

You have a strong paternal complex, and as a result you have trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you 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, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

You were raised in an austere and sober environment, and as a result, you have become quite self-sufficient. You are often uncompromising, and you have a touchy sense of your personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though you were fighting an inner battle with your father or a father figure. The psychological models you received from your father or a father figure as a result of your interaction and your own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping your relationships with the outer world and society. As a result, you have had to compensate for this lack with individual determination. However, you sometimes feel as though you are only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. You are often too critical of yourself, and you rarely feel satisfied that you are living up to your ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead you to turn down the prominent career positions for which you are fully qualified. You are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile, and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like you.

Artemis is not confident in herself and is easily wounded by other people’s criticism. She hates when people are too overt with their criticism.

Artemis, a social creature by nature, is adept at reading and responding to the emotions of others. This sensitivity makes you tactful and diplomatic, which can be a blessing or a curse. You are also sensitive to the needs of others, and you care deeply about harmony and order in artistic terms. This sensitivity sometimes leads you to be offended by the harsh demands of life. You are drawn to relationships- the couple, or a partnership- and you are very loyal to those you care for.

Artemis is optimistic and happy to be alive. She is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. Her expansive nature is related to her gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. Artemis is extremely kind-hearted herself and gives of herself and her wealth unstintingly. Her bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between her desires and reality.

Artemis, despite your desire to create a harmonious emotional climate, sometimes encounters friction with others. Your vision of other people is sometimes clouded by feelings of insecurity, and your need to obtain acceptance at any price may sometimes drive you to make too many concessions or compromises.

Artemis enjoys captivating people with the elegance and ease of her expression. She is a witty and engaging flirt, an avid player of the game of love. As a result, the history of her affections is liable to be episodic, a long series of chapters about conquests or fleeting love affairs. She may carry on some love relationships by writing letters.

Artemis’ birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function that 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, Artemis is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Artemis, paradoxically, although love, the need for a soulmate, and psychological considerations rule your life, you are quite self-focused. You are a consummate charmer and cannot bear not being loved. You crave admiration and adulation – unconsciously, you dream of becoming a star. If, however, you finds fulfillment in love, all your worldly, psychological, and artistic qualities will thrive.

Artemis frequently finds herself indecisive, tending to mull things over rather than make decisions. This tendency to procrastinate may cause her to miss out on the best opportunities and end up with a rather average partner who will bring her down to their own social level.

Artemis has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of her main purposes in life. Her personal charm and magnetism are compellingly seductive; unfortunately, her attempts at conquest do not always lead to the fulfillment and satisfaction of her desires. Due to her impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, her approach to those she is attracted to may sometimes lack tact and delicacy. As a result of the foregoing, it may be somewhat difficult for her to maintain stable and harmonious relationships. Nevertheless, her emotional behavior is subject to a conflict between her quest for love and her need to satisfy her lust. Her outpourings of affection and her need to be loved in return sometimes create complicated situations in which lust may be confused with love, or love may exist without lust, and she may feel unrequited or unfulfilled. This inner contradiction is a sign of her tendency to derive pleasure from suffering – either her own or that of her partner. The relationship thus becomes the setting for a sort of power struggle, weakening it as a source of psychological equilibrium. Nevertheless, she could sublimate this difficulty through artistic expression.

You are a passionate and ardent person, and your relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, you are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, your love life may be subject to some instability. You are generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate you. Your greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although you merge your ego entirely into the couple, you are likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If your partner charms and captivates you long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with you; otherwise, you are likely to yield to your need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for you. Midlife may be a turning point for you from this point of view. Your contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. Your behavior enables you to remain aloof, to commit yourself only halfway without consciously admitting it to yourself, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when you lose interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps you from forming stable relationships. Indeed, you are tormented by the struggle between your undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, your romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by your conviction that your partner has become an obstacle to your individual progress. Because you think of love as a restraint, you may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, you will try to deflect the love function from its natural target and use the energy and bliss it generates for other purposes, the process psychologists call sublimation. However, you are also likely to meet “the one” who inspires you to initiate a change in your behavior.

You are drawn to people with intense emotions, often falling in love with them quickly. You often believe in your own idealized version of a relationship, and are easily disillusioned. Because your sensitivity is so high, you often lose touch with reality when you are in love, and may be susceptible to people who have bad intentions. It would be a good idea for you to find a different object of your affections, or a form of sublimation, because you are often disappointed by your great emotional investments. Your sensitivity also means you can easily empathize with the psychological or social difficulties your peers are struggling with, so you might find it rewarding to commit yourself to social work.

Artemis’ intellect is simultaneously subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience. She has a vivid memory and imagination combined with her shrewdness, making her a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.

Artemis listens carefully to what you have to say, but often finds it difficult to be spontaneous. She is quite introverted and looks to herself for guidance in the decisions she makes. Because she relies heavily on convention, her opinion is usually based more on consensus than on her own personal beliefs.

Artemis’ intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because they are turned outward. Because she tends to be oriented toward others, she rarely tries to communicate with them for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, she sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult to her to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.

Artemis has a lively and agile spirit. She is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of her great mental vitality, she tends to have an opinion on every subject, but she does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth. She enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses herself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If she learned to control her flow of words and elaborate her thoughts more, she could make a talented communicator. Because she is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform her ideas, she is sometimes misunderstood. She is often blind to the rashness of her judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around her. If she were to succeed in disciplining her mind somewhat, she would have innumerable opportunities to apply her communications skills to a great career. However, she would do well to be careful of her nerves.

You are drawn to expression and communication. You cannot survive without giving voice to your thoughts and speaking to other people. You delight in your own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with your words. Especially attracted to anything new and original, you immediately grasp the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be and have a knack 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 open-mindedness 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.

Artemis has a great deal of intuition but sometimes has problems organizing her thoughts and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to her mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. Her thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. She tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, she can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although her perceptions are lively and subtle, she may display a kind of absent-mindedness out of a fear of annoying people with her shrewdness or of fighting to assert herself. Her imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
