Barbara Minty is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better herself socially and intellectually. Her ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and she will be eager to share them with others. Although she is kind-hearted, she enjoys being in control of situations. She derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround herself with people who need her. She is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. Her visions derive from her ambitions, often aglow with idealism.

Barbara Minty thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominated in her psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, she was eager to participate in everything happening around her. Her affections were lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, she would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, she never allowed herself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, her buoyancy borders on indifference.

Barbara Minty is aware of a lack of confidence in herself and in life. Prone to apathy, as if deprived of optimism and cheerfulness at some time, she may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which she may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, she was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, she is unable to move herself toward an improved, more positive disposition. She may reject any challenge that would enable her to surpass her current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of her problem, she may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to her, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.
