Black Coffee is trying to overcome its feelings of insecurity. To do so, it needs a home: a dwelling, a territory, or perhaps a safe space or setting where it can rest, and let down its systems of defense against the outer world, which it finds aggressive and hostile. It is ready to make some sacrifices in order to maintain and consolidate the structure it has chosen. True inner security, based on real knowledge of itself, its abilities, and its shortcomings, its strengths and its weaknesses would no doubt be most effective and would allow it to remain open to the varieties of experience offered by the world.

You have a paternal complex, which means you have trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

At the moment of your birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a sign of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes, which is beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose your personality. You thus enjoy a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche, between your determination and your routines, between your drive for self-assertion and your receptivity, your ideal and your sensitivity. Your parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to you, and it is likely that they encouraged you to develop your own individuality. As a result, you were and are able to be comfortable with yourself as you are instead of striving to attain your parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family. In your emotional relationships with your peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images your ego projects on the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

Black Coffee is energetic and vigorous. Their need for power is actually motivated by an unconscious desire for self-assertion. The attitudes and actions of Black Coffee baffle those close to them, who can’t understand why their behavior is motivated by pure selfishness or simply an excess of energy. Black Coffee is lively, alert, and determined, but they are too easily distracted from goals by pointless competition or opportunities to exhibit their power. They have a short temper and must learn to control their impulsiveness, which might expose them to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Black Coffee is fairly strong-willed, and is mindful of going about her purposes with maximum efficiency. When she relates to other people, she sometimes has trouble expressing her emotions, but she does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As she grows older, she is quite likely to come into her own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. Her honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win her recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in her destiny, and her greatest accomplishments will guarantee her stability and prosperity. Although she is not especially enterprising, she will move into a high career position as soon as she feels sure of her abilities.

You are very sensitive and receptive and tend to live in osmosis with your surroundings. Your individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over you, and you sometimes find it difficult to communicate your feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but your fluid inner structure and organization sometimes make it difficult for you to grasp the essence of your dreams and share them with other people. You are not at all combative, and this tends to hinder your efforts to fit into society and assert yourself productively. You are likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but your refusal to abandon your unattainable dreams is a psychological trap you have fallen into without realizing it. You must understand that by running away from your obligations and commitments, you only increase the feelings of guilt which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once you free yourself from this pernicious process, you have a great deal of potential for fulfilling yourself in the outer world, either by devoting yourself to some sort of social work or by cultivating your considerable artistic talents.

Black Coffee is deeply human. She is sociable and sincerely devoted to others. Her mother or a mother-figure had a strong influence on her psyche, and her childhood was an important time in her life. Black Coffee still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the basis for her reveries, for her extreme sensitivity, and for habits which she may be slow to break. However, she will thrive in the shelter of a family setting, soothed by the presence of a spouse and children. She is fond of security and routine; being somewhat impressionable and anxious, she may have trouble adjusting to situations which are unfamiliar.

Black Coffee is sensitive and imaginative, and has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although its bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern its self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient in a relationship. Black Coffee is extremely romantic, and does not always see others the way they really are.

Black Coffee is a complicated relationship partner because of her sensitivity and emotions, which sometimes conflict with her instincts. Her behavior can be seen as mysterious or baffling to others, and she can switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of her life, and her relationships are usually motivated by her desires, but she doesn’t always succeed in reconciling and fulfilling her emotional and sexual needs. This is because of the strength of her instincts, which can overwhelm her and drag her into situations she can’t always control. Passion can overwhelm her and lead to erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

Black Coffee looks for the ideal love, and idealizes her friends and lovers. She may prefer to dream of her soulmate instead of making love to one; she is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. Her idealism may hide a fear of truly committing herself to a relationship; she tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to her: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Black Coffee’s birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, Black Coffee is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Black Coffee fumbles with the doorknob, trying to remember when she last changed the locks. It was probably a few weeks ago when she decided she needed a break from reality. Reality is a harsh mistress, and she’s been feeling the strain lately. She pushes the door open and steps inside, looking around with a smile. It’s been years since she’s been in this apartment, but it still feels like home. It’s been a long time since she’s been able to escape the realities of her life.
Once she’s settled in, she can be very happy. She’s always been a passionate person, and she loves being able to pour her feelings into her work. She would be a great partner for someone who is sensitive and artistic. Black Coffee is also a very good mother, and she loves being able to provide for her children.

For Black Coffee, idealism, friendship, and intellectual discussion can sometimes be more pleasurable than affairs of the heart. When she is finally in love, her feelings and fantasies are all tangled up, and she loses track of who is who and where she is. Nevertheless, she could be very happy with a person of high-minded aspirations, who would be a friend as well as a lover.

Black Coffee has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of Black Coffee’s main purposes in life. Black Coffee’s personal charm and magnetism give him nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of his well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to Black Coffee’s impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to potential partners may sometimes lack delicacy.

Black Coffee may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

You are hypersensitive and tend to relive the anxieties, apprehensions, and romantic absolutes of your first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. You are exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. You will not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. You are sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to her. You usually hide your emotional reactions or do not even allow them to reach the level of your consciousness, in an effort to protect your sensitivity, which you see as your weak point. You are fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, you will disguise your strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside you, and you feel unworthy of the love which is lavished on you. This psychological prohibition which rules over all of your desires and affects should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, your fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of your romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if you want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify yourself emotionally, the defense mechanisms you have elaborated to make yourself inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled.

Black Coffee has a rather irrational mind and a voracious intellect, which is usually subject to the rule of her prolific imagination. Although she is likely to have flashes of intuition which may prove to be correct, her thought processes are sometimes messy and confused. Her mind, which is oriented in many different directions at the same time, is ruled by her emotions and feelings. In tune with psychic and parapsychic phenomena, her thinking requires only the adjunct of structure to rise from the level of a blurry, uncertain, undifferentiated mass to that of a really significant vision with a grip on the real world.

Black Coffee listens to you with interest and appreciation. She understands your motivations and your dreams, and admires your conviction. She is patient and tolerant, even when you make mistakes. She is optimistic about the future, and looks forward to exploring all that it has to offer.

Black Coffee has a great ability to socially charm people. This is a great asset to them when they have to deal with other people, but can be a challenge when they have to compete or deal with hostility. They also have a gift for orating which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression, such as stage or screen acting.
