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

Arthur Laffer:

You may be subject to 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.

Arthur Laffer thinks that you have a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for you, he thinks of himself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to him do not always appreciate. Although he is quite likely to succeed in his ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, his lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose him to some danger. His exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for him by causing him to make errors in judgment.

Arthur Laffer is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps he was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. He has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tend to be rather uncompromising, and have a touchy sense of his personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though he was fighting an inner battle with his father or a father figure. The psychological models he received from his father or a father figure as a result of his interaction and his own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping his relationships with the outer world and society. He may thus have been forced to compensate for this with individual determination. As a result, although he is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes him timid and hesitant. He sometimes feels as though he is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. He tends to be far too critical of himself and rarely feel satisfied that he is living up to his ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead him to turn down the prominent career positions for which he is fully qualified. He is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like him.

Arthur Laffer has insecurities that might cause him to come off as haughty and arrogant. His vanity is easily wounded, and he abhor overt criticism.

Arthur Laffer is a free thinker who is convinced that his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. His passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising partner. He would do well to learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of his somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in his relationship with his father or his teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, he may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with his father, in the same way as he now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision he makes as an adult, he is forced to rely on himself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits he must impose on his desires in relation to reality and the law.

Arthur Laffer is usually cool and distant in demeanor, but when it comes to expressing his feelings he represses them and avoids situations where he might be forced to express them. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. In many cases, this detriment to his love life is related to his focus on his career. Arthur seeks social recognition through his career achievements.

Arthur Laffer gazed at the woman across from him, her violet eyes shimmering with sincerity. He could see the hurt and the anger that still lingered in them, but there was also something else – something that made him want to reach out and touch her. However, he knew that he couldn’t do that. Not yet.

Arthur Laffer found it difficult to open up to new people. His love affairs were superficial because his lust and sensual desire rarely turned into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it was difficult for him to meet partners who combined the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

Arthur Laffer was optimistic and happy to be alive. He was a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. He was extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gave of himself and his belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook was the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. He was quite likely to be a professional success; his vision of the world was perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and his urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicited a positive reaction from society. By old age, his good reputation and prominence may have earned him fame.
