Benjamin Zephaniah is searching for stability. He wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life. But his efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He should become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.
Benjamin Zephaniah, you have a paternal complex. As a result, you have trouble finding your identity and find it difficult to develop a strong inner discipline. You often rely on psychological defense mechanisms to protect yourself, but these mechanisms can get in the way of your development. You should try to build up a strong inner discipline and learn to face the challenges of life in a detached and mature way.
Benjamin Zephaniah often finds it difficult to fit in with society’s expectations. The mask most people wear is difficult for him to put on, and it’s hard for him to act out the roles that are expected of him as a normal member of the community. The usual social values and rewards, like money, respect, and prestige, only mildly interest him. His refusal or inability to adapt to the demands of social life sometimes has negative consequences, like not being able to find a job, which may have negative consequences on his financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, he sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when he’s planning a new project. For example, he may leave gaps in a job application, botch up an interview with a prospective employer, or make a big mistake when bidding for a contract. But his financial difficulties may clear up when his emotional ones do.
Benjamin Zephaniah is fairly strong-willed, and he is mindful of going about his purposes with maximum efficiency. When he relates to other people, he sometimes has trouble expressing his emotions, but he does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As he grows older, he is quite likely to come into his own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. His honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win him recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in his destiny, and his greatest accomplishments will guarantee him stability and prosperity. Although he is not especially enterprising, he will move into a high career position as soon as he feels sure of his abilities.
Benjamin Zephaniah generally tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. He tends to give the best of himself in difficult situations which require crucial choices. His ability to concentrate and his gift for solving problems by deductive reasoning are his chief resources in crisis situations or at turning points in his life.
Benjamin Zephaniah is hypersensitive to the mood in his surroundings. He is unconsciously able to perceive the parapsychic signals or aura people give off, in addition to their words. As a result, he is extremely compassionate and ready to devote himself to their well-being. His imagination has formulated the dream of an ideal life, and he sometimes feels ill-equipped for the realities of this existence. He tends to dodge difficult situations. With his partner, he seeks fusion.
Benjamin Zephaniah is sensitive and perceptive. He luxuriates in tenderness and gentleness more than passion. Because he abhor any form of violence and is disturbed by the absence of harmony, he has developed a tact and diplomacy which make his relations with others smooth and easy.
Benjamin Zephaniah is sensitive and compassionate, often sacrificing his own interests to help others. He is romantic and idealistic, but can be confused and evasive when expressing his feelings. Nonetheless, he is capable of devoting himself entirely to the person he loves. He has a tendency to daydream and become lost in himself.
Benjamin Zephaniah was born with an emotional function that is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. He enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with his gaze riveted on the future, he is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.
Benjamin Zephaniah has a great capacity for devotion. His mind disorder mingles with illusion, but he has a great devotion to his reason. Somewhat whimsical, he will rush into wild dreams or throw himself into love with a fury. If he doesn’t appeal to his reason, he will err just as radically and find himself married to a disappointing person. He is more likely to be married happily with an active and dynamic soulmate.
Benjamin Zephaniah thought of love as a high-minded ideal of purity. He believed it could be found in a fairly young or naive person, but he was hardly realistic about the situation. The ideal companion for Benjamin would easily become a staid person with prosaic ideas and dull, old-fashioned tastes. The type of marriage that would suit Benjamin would be one based on friendship or a fortunate coincidence of yearnings.
You are a passionate individual who is constantly engaged in a quest for the ideal love. You are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner, and your love life may be subject to some instability. You are generally attracted to people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and are amazed and fascinated by them. Your greatest contradictions surface when you establish an intimate relationship. 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.
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.
Benjamin Zephaniah has a great emotional ideal, full of subtlety and tenderness. However, he tends to be overwhelmed by his imagination and may not be selective enough when choosing a partner. His romantic and trusting nature may make him vulnerable. Although he strives to establish peaceful, uncomplicated relations, he sometimes experiences painful disappointments. His artistic delicacy and refinement provide him with a sincere love of the arts, music, and literature. He is likely to be a gifted poet.
Benjamin Zephaniah is an intuitive thinker. He does not reason things out through a long, articulate, logical discourse; instead, he seizes the visions or insights that spontaneously flash into his consciousness. He thus has a form of immediate knowledge of various phenomena which is based neither on reasoning nor on any elaborate thought process or method. As a result, if he is an extrovert, he will possess an inventive, innovative spirit gifted for improvisation. If he is an introvert, his mind will be an abundant source of personal inner truths.
Benjamin Zephaniah tends to express his thoughts and ideas smoothly and easily. He is subjective, seeking to know himself better through a process of introversion.
Benjamin Zephaniah often finds it difficult to communicate with others because he is oriented inward. He rarely enjoys communicating with others for the simple pleasure of doing so, and he often feels misunderstood. Moreover, he finds it difficult to express the complexity of his inner perceptions.
Benjamin Zephaniah, you sometimes make mistakes in judgment. Your understanding of things is not always in tune with social realities or prevailing opinion. Your judgments tend to be hasty; your decisions are reckless. Moreover, you tend to overestimate your abilities and usually aim higher than might be realistic. Once an enterprise or project is underway, you may try to avoid obstacles by dodging certain duties. Because your vision of the world differs somewhat from social realities, you should be extremely careful and scrupulous in regard to legal matters, in order to avoid any complications of that type. You are sometimes slightly dishonest in your relations; you may break promises or attempt to duck responsibility. However, you should realize that such conduct toward other people is also a form of unconscious self-loathing. If you continue to behave in such a way, you are exposing yourself to the same lack of sincerity from your partners.
Benjamin Zephaniah has a structured mind and penetrating intelligence, but his thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding. This slow pace may be the consequence of some failure or humiliation during his formative years. Benjamin tends to doubt in himself and his intellectual skills despite his undeniable gifts as a thinker. He should become aware that his thought patterns and habits are the sign that he is on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give him an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort. Benjamin’s mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, he is particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. His contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career he chooses, Benjamin should learn to work alone, because he tends to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. He will also have to learn to conquer his impatience, because he tends to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause him to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, Benjamin should find the courage to question his convictions.
