Belinda tries to stay grounded due to her unconscious feelings of insecurity, but her ambitions are strong. She will always be seeking a higher social position. Sometimes she adopts a strategy of solitude and introversion.

You have a strong need for control and a need to be in charge. This stems from your childhood experiences, when you may have felt undermined or unsupported. As a result, you developed a strong sense of self-reliance and became very independent. This can be a great asset, as it allows you to take charge when necessary and to make decisions on your own. However, it can also be a liability, as it can make you impatient and domineering. You often feel that you have to be in control all the time, and if someone else tries to take control, you are likely to react aggressively. This can make you seem inflexible and unyielding, and it can be difficult to work with other people. You should try to develop a more balanced approach to life, in which you are comfortable taking on a leadership role when necessary but also allow others to contribute their own ideas and thoughts.

Belinda values freedom and independence highly, and actively pursues ways to ensure that these values are expressed in her personal life. To avoid being pulled into commitments she is unwilling to make, Belinda is hesitant to get too deeply involved with anyone. This can lead to her feeling emotionally distant from those she loves, as she is more focused on avoiding entanglements than on fully experiencing relationships. Although highly socially-minded, Belinda is also idealistic and looking to the future. She is likely to sympathize with the ideals of social reform movements. Her imagination is fired by visions of a better future.

Belinda has a sensitive and affectionate nature. She seeks tenderness and gentleness more than passion. Her relationships with others are smooth and pleasant, and she has a natural sense of tact and social grace.

Belinda is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find her generous almost to a fault! She gives of herself and her resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when she is self-focused. She reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, her everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, she senses a conflict between her social life and her family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill herself in both spheres at the same time. Her attitude toward her private life may inhibit her ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on her private life. She should be careful not to project her personal problems onto her partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, they might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

Belinda was fairly shy, reserved, and discreet when it came to matters of the heart. Even in intimate moments, she remained modest and kept her feelings to herself. She was sensitive and giving, wishing to be of service to those she loved. She deserved to be made as happy as she made her partner.

Belinda’s birth chart indicates a strong emotional function which is expressed impulsively and without much regard for the consequences. She is often quick to trust her emotions and is not hesitant to express her feelings, especially if she feels she has been wronged.

Belinda rides the waves of enthusiasm and idealism, in love she is dashing and uninhibited. She demands a great deal of her companion both intellectually and socially, dreaming of a brilliant partner who can give her a thrilling life and outstanding and unusual success. Once she finds her one-in-a-million mate, she will eagerly support them. However, the dream is not foolproof, because her lack of good judgment and perspicacity may lead her to commit herself prematurely to someone who won’t keep these promises.

Belinda tends to be wary of passion and sometimes tries to make her feelings obey reason and logic. She keeps a cool head, observing from afar the romantic imbroglios of others, which she enjoys analyzing and deciphering. She is skillful at playing hard-to-get or at any other little tricks or techniques which will ensure her success when she wants it. She is likely to remain uncommitted until middle age, keeping her hand in (as it were) with little adventures and romps. But she may change after midlife.

You are an ardent and amorous 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.

Belinda has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. She is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information she 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.
