Asher Bishop experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Asher Bishop led a life which was open to the outside world. His personal consciousness was forged by the heat of outer events. He was inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Asher Bishop participated in social affairs out of concern for the collective, but resisted any project that he would not be able to lead himself. He identified himself with social activities in order to understand himself, and was drawn to those that had a large impact on society.

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

Asher Bishop is a realist. He approaches life pragmatically and even his feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. He bases his judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, he takes pride in his own endeavors and has a personal concept of his productivity. His possessions help him assert himself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy him more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, he becomes attached to anything which offers him certainty.

You have a problem with confidence. You are often discouraged by the strains of living and may have trouble accepting the challenges of life. This reluctance may be because you have an elusive or flawed self-image from when you were a child. You may not have had the opportunity to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. This makes it difficult for you to move yourself in a more positive direction. You may reject any challenge that would help you improve your current self, or only after long meditation. You may be tormented by this problem and want to change. Physical exercise and a diet with vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein may help you.

Although you may not necessarily notice the fact about yourself because you are so strongly engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, you sometimes lack sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on yourself and your life. You may be puzzled by your troubled relations with others. You must make an effort to detach yourself from your personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, you are likely to find yourself under stress or pressure because you did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. You may also experience dissatisfaction in your intimate relationships because you might struggle to get in sync with others. You give little time or respect to anyone you see as too “intellectual,” because you resist adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs you the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for you and you tend to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of yourself – and this plays a lot of tricks on you.
