Briar Rose tries to restrain and control her instincts, but they are always there, waiting to be acted upon. This ascetic lifestyle may not be the most beneficial for her, as it denies the importance of the most primal and darkest forces within her. If she hopes for a more harmonious development, she will have to realize that instincts can be tamed; they do not react positively to being trampled.

Briar Rose is affectionate by nature, and loves playing a decisive and central role in her life. She is a charmer who needs to be loved and be given attention. Aware of her personal magnetism and the power it gives her, she will make subtle changes in herself in order to attract positive attention. She is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle she sees as a consummate art.

Briar Rose has a fertile and profound inner life, but her energy resources are often not sufficient to follow through on her many dreams. Like most people, she understand phenomena and events intuitively, without really making any effort; so she is not in the habit of disciplining or shaping her thoughts. Her personality is rather amorphous and disorganized, which may cause some difficulty for her when trying to assert her individuality and make some personal contribution to society.

Briar Rose represses her feelings and sensitivity and avoids situations where she might be forced to express them. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. In many cases, to the detriment of her love life, she is capable of plunging all her energy into her work. She seeks social recognition through her career achievements.

Briar Rose’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, she does not always avail herself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although she enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, her thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. She is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste her nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, her feelings sometimes blur her objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause her to make errors in judgment.

Briar Rose is an affable, communicative associate. Indeed, some people find her generous almost to a fault! She gives of herself and her resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when she is self-focused. She reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, her everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, she senses a conflict between her social life and her family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill herself in both spheres at the same time. Her attitude toward her private life may inhibit her ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on her private life. She should be careful not to project her personal problems onto her partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, they might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

You are emotionally sensitive and tend to react suddenly and excessively when your sensitivity is touched. Although you believe that your independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, you are sometimes frustrated by your need to rely on your family or friends. Furthermore, you do not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as your own. Likewise, you are sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if you feared that it would doom you to eternal dependency. Your ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship you had with your mother or a mother figure. Although you were dependent on them, they may have rejected you. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which your sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are likely to form. To ward off your feelings of dependency, you sometimes tend to become destructive. Based on denial, your reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Sexuality is an important part of Briar Rose’s life, and her relationships are most often determined by her instincts. If she has a relationship that is exclusively satisfying sexually, however, she might feel frustration, because she is driven by a kind of unconscious guilt to seek fulfillment for her heart and soul as well. She tends to be a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often re-evaluates the bonds that connect her to her partners.

Briar Rose’s attractions are usually immediate and intense. They rise quickly to fever pitch. The story of these passions is often dramatic to excess, combining all the plot elements of a classic love tragedy: jealousy, possessiveness, agony as an erotic stimulant, etc.

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.

This may lead her to marry on the rebound. The jealousy she arouse, or that drives her at times, might have devastating effects.

Briar Rose has a great emotional ideal, full of subtlety and tenderness. However, she tends to be overwhelmed by her imagination and may not be selective enough when choosing a partner. Her romantic and trusting nature may make her vulnerable. Although she strives to establish peaceful, uncomplicated relations, she sometimes experiences painful disappointments. Her artistic delicacy and refinement provide her with a sincere love of the arts, music, and literature. She is likely to be a gifted poet.

Briar Rose’s mental aptitudes make her especially good at comparing, evaluating, and weighing information. This intellectual modus operandi has enabled her to develop an innate sense of values, both artistic and ethical, as well as a remarkable ability to relate to other people.

In other situations, her artistic spirit is sensitive to a wide variety of harmonies.

Briar Rose expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly introverted and eager to discover and understand the inner world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Briar Rose has a mind that is constantly hungry for knowledge. She has an amazing ability to learn, and can easily accumulate encyclopedic knowledge. Her intellectual curiosity sometimes gets the better of her, and she is often distracted by a multitude of other topics. If she wants to learn more deeply and make better judgments, she will need to develop discipline and improve her organization skills. She is likely to be successful in any field that involves communication, including teaching, historical scholarship, advertising, writing (journals or books), or travel.

You have a fascination with expression and communication. You cannot survive without giving voice to your thoughts and speaking to other people. You delight in your own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with your words. Especially attracted to anything new and original, you immediately grasp the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be and have a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because you are fairly high strung, you may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. You may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency. Your open-mindedness gives you creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career you choose, your personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.
