Brecken Merrill is a diligent and precise worker, gifted for tasks that require great focus and discipline. He might struggle with self-pity about his own worth and try to compensate for this feeling by constantly keeping busy and devoting himself almost entirely to those close to him.

Brecken Merrill is affectionate by nature, and loves playing a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to be loved and be seen as charming. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

You are an individualist who believes in freedom and independence as your most precious values. You have thrown off the conventions and traditions of your social class, and adopted an innovative lifestyle. You have a passionate conviction, bordering on evangelism, that at times can trouble your relationships. You may be an uncompromising partner, and you may need to learn to recognize your own limitations and accept the responsibilities you have to other people. The roots of your somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in your relationship with your father or teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way as you now refuse to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision you make as an adult, you are forced to rely on yourself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits you must impose on your desires in relation to reality and the law.

You have a fertile imagination and a profound inner life, but your energy resources are not always sufficient to follow through on your dreams. You tend to live in osmosis with your environment, and effort and action take a heavy toll on you. Usually, you understand phenomena and events intuitively, without really making any effort; so you are not in the habit of disciplining or shaping your thoughts. Like your thoughts, your personality is rather amorphous and disorganized. As a result of this lack of structure, you may have some trouble asserting your individuality and making some personal contribution to society through your career. Your tendency to shut out reality and dream impossible dreams may be a source of some difficulty for you.

You are acutely aware of the void, the vanity of existence, and the incomprehensible force that deconstructs you. You sometimes feel disoriented and lost, and your focus shifts frequently from the superficial to the depths of human experience. You grapple with your “fundamental nature” and the most primitive part of yourself, and are sometimes aghast at the power of your instincts. This special consciousness is beyond the bounds of conventional school of thought, and can be a source of identity problems for you at first. It’s not easy for you to identify with any social or narcissistic models, or to find a role to fit intoexisting attitudes, so you sometimes assert your own identity in a way that can be seen as strangely intense or eccentric by your contemporaries.

Brecken Merrill usually keeps a cool and distant demeanor, suppressing his feelings and sensitivity. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. In many cases, this detriment of his love life results in him plunging all his energy into his work. He seeks social recognition through his career achievements.

Brecken Merrill has a sensitive personality. He may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. He is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in his behavior may be explained by emotional problems he may have experienced in infancy: his mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Brecken Merrill is optimistic and happy to be alive. He is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. He is extremely kind-hearted himself and gives of himself and his wealth unstintingly. His bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between his desires and reality.

Because you were able to develop an original and independent identity early in life, you quickly developed a strong and unique personality. Your first taste of liberty may have led you to challenge the education and values you received from your family and class tradition, and you were able to forge a strong, independent philosophy. Your relationships are usually free of conflict, because you are able to reconcile your need for independence with your desire for affection. However, your partners should be open and lively people, able to keep pace with you in your rapid evolution. You have an inspired and extremely lively wit and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. You would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although you are an individualist, you have a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

Brecken Merrill has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of his emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule his sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

Brecken Merrill’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings, she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Brecken Merrill is shy and unsure of himself. He is liable to be stuck on the sidelines of life despite his qualities, at least in the first part of his adult life. If he manages to overcome his inhibitions, he could have a brilliant career. His private life should emerge from its melancholy and relative frigidity, improving with time and giving rise to a deep and enduring commitment. A lively and intelligent person, perhaps younger than him, should be able to draw him out of his shell.

When it comes to romance, Brecken Merrill is easily dazzled by social status and is attracted to strong and powerful people. Nevertheless, fulfilling this desire may mean that he finds himself subject to the whims of a partner with a strong personality, and he may feel ill at ease in a social or society life that is too intense. He will find sanctuary and stability in his home, family life, and, if he chooses to have them, children.

Cautious and reserved, you often hesitate to open yourself to others if you’re not sure they’ll be accepted. You’ll always hang back somewhat from your emotional urges, rationing out your expressions of affection, because you’ve learned – sometimes at your expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For you, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when you’re in love, you remain fairly circumspect. When you find yourself attracted to a partner, you privately engage in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether you’re likely to be able to share your life and future with them. As a result of your sensitivity, you have a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich your existence and make it pleasant. You could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

You are a complex individual, full of contradictions. Because you sometimes feel vulnerable emotionally, you try to control not only your own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of your partners. You aspire to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning yourself and yielding to the other terrifies you. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because you are guarded and somewhat secretive, you tend to be suspicious and are especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although you are fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, you will not express your feelings unless you are subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of your emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, you are likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Brecken Merrill has a lively wit which gives her great agility and scope and a broad field of consciousness which enlivens her curiosity and makes her love variety and change. Her mind is alert and her speech is full of verve, humor, and sometimes impudence. These abilities are great resources in communication, discussion, and debate. She is a storehouse of information and ideas of every kind and delights in manipulating words and concepts, discovering new things, and sharpening her memory for trivial facts. This mental agitation could sometimes make her scattered, however, or lacking in coherence and discipline.

Brecken Merrill expresses her thoughts and ideas carefully, but with a relative lack of spontaneity. She is rather introverted and looks inside herself for the solutions to the problems she encounters in life. Because she tends to mistrust customary thought patterns, her opinion is usually highly personal.
