Ben Barnes is an emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in his psychological make-up, he has acquired a deep sense of his individuality and uniqueness. He sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of himself, he attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of his efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because his impressive deeds usually earn recognition for him, and reinforce his self-assurance and his certainty that he does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. He sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. He likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of his conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. He may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives him to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on his ego. By creating something, he can make his own individual mark on the world; he can organize it to reflect his own image, instead of allowing himself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in your own image are strong indications that he seeks to identify with his superego. The difference between his ideal of himself and the individual he knows himself to be in truth, measured in terms of his social recognition or the recognition of his creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine his state of mind. It is therefore important for him to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible. The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in his personality. His dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; his strong instinct and ambition combined with his somewhat exaggerated individualism incline him to be self-focused. He may be proud, but he is also courageous, determined, and generous. He has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, he is mysteriously lucky.

Due to the influence of Scorpio rising, Ben Barnes has a powerful, forthright, passionate nature with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. His own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast, realistic viewpoint, but he is curious about and critical of different ideas. He tends to reject any outside authority. He feels perfectly capable of making his own decisions and can easily sweet-talk people into letting him have his own way. His personality also gives him the potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician in any field. His skills include detecting and uncovering the hidden aspects of people and things. His other natural resources are his rigid and unilateral determination, his capacity for self-control, and the stubbornness and energy with which he overcome obstacles. It is important for him to channel his energy into structured activities, or he may become dissipated. Sports or physical exercise will also be beneficial to his well-being.
