Brandon Barnes searches for stability in his life, but realizes that it is difficult to find. Stability and balance are difficult to apply to life, because life is always moving, changing, and unstable.

Brandon Barnes has a paternal complex. As a result, he has trouble finding his identity. His father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during his childhood, which deprived him of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because Brandon 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, he was forced to protect himself against negative influences and find his own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to him as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with his evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber his mind or inhibit his developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for him to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because Brandon’s authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Brandon should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Brandon Barnes has a strong will, and is mindful of efficiency when conducting tasks.

Time is an important factor in Brandon’s destiny, and he will achieve great things in his career once he is confident of his abilities. Although Brandon is not particularly enterprising, he will eventually achieve a high-profile position in life.

Brandon Barnes is handsome and winning. He has an appetite for intense emotional experiences, especially in terms of his relationships. Enjoying the power of his personal appeal, he easily controls his emotions and only rarely reveals the true depth of his feelings. Because his instincts take precedence over his sensitivity, he is capable of becoming jealous, possessive, and even rather harsh, without meaning to. More of a flirt than a voluptuary, Brandon is attentive to desire. As a result, his love life will sometimes be casual and complicated.

Brandon Barnes is fairly shy, reserved, and discreet when it comes to matters of the heart. Even in intimate moments, he remains modest and does not always readily express his feelings. He is sensitive and giving, wishing to be of service to those he loves. He would do well to trust that he deserves to be made as happy as he makes his partners.

Brandon Barnes’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which 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, Brandon is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Brandon Barnes exudes a fairly equivocal mixture of charm and passion, strength and gentleness. He wields his wiles of sensual fascination and kindness with the purpose of controlling the other in addition to being loved. Brandon is subject to intense and sometimes tragic passions, in which ecstasy and pain, jealousy and tenderness mingle inextricably. However, it is possible that as time goes on, he may succeed in overcoming his instincts and be able to devote himself to the mate he has chosen in a positive and creative way.

Brandon Barnes is hesitant and timid when it comes to affairs of the heart. He doesn’t know which partner to choose or when to settle down. Particularly drawn to people who are (too) attractive or (too) sophisticated, and who are not really suited to him, Brandon is likely to be disappointed. But if he does marry one of these people, he will be completely devoted to them and will stand by them come what may.

Brandon Barnes may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive him to seek pleasure. His need for romantic fulfillment may compel him to marry, because he also seeks the financial 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 he had indeed achieved success. However, privately, he might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

Brandon Barnes has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. He is emotive and hypersensitive, making him especially vulnerable emotionally, since he is sometimes overwhelmed by his feelings and affects. Although he seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom he could maintain blissful, smooth relations, he is sometimes met with disillusionment. Because his rather excessive sensitivity and his need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge his judgment and discernment, so he sometimes forms extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When he meets someone, Brandon falls under the enchantment of his dream of ideal love and cannot keep himself from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, Brandon yields to another of his characteristic urges and loses himself in the individual who is so dear to him, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find himself as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, Brandon’s psyche is constructed in such a way as to make his sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before he takes on any major commitments, Brandon should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates his intense love, for he may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. His tendency to believe in his illusions may mark him as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for him to find a different object for his affections, or a form of sublimation, because he tends to be so disappointed by his great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of his imagination procure artistic refinement for Brandon, and he loves the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because his sensitivity also makes it easy for him to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties his peers are struggling with, Brandon might also find it rewarding to commit himself to social work.

Curious, skeptical, and pragmatic, Brandon Barnes has a shrewd, inquisitorial mind. Always trying to detect the hidden mechanisms and processes behind the phenomena he observes, Brandon has developed an ability to detect the truth behind appearances and the cause behind the effect. Although this way of thinking is based on a certain logic, and there is evidence of structure and cohesion in his deductive approach, it is not always purely intellectual. Indeed, its sources lie in a certain empiricism, in facts which have been experienced, so it is open to improvement. For this reason, its fields of application are highly diverse, although research in the hard sciences, psychology, and metaphysics seem to be the best career choices.

Brandon Barnes tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. His thoughts are usually structured, and his reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.
