Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Corpse Husband is determined to obtain a superlative grip on his emotional urges; he practices holding back his impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, he wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, he is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

Corpse Husband has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding their identity. Perhaps their father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during their childhood, which deprived them of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because they 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, they were forced to protect themselves against negative influences and find their own system in order to grow and feel secure.

Although this system was quite useful to them as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with their evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber their mind or inhibit their developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for them to assert themselves, and they tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because their authoritarian urges are mainly directed at themselves rather than others, they sometimes feel guilty about their behavior. They judge themselves severely, and sometimes punishes themselves by setting difficult tasks for themselves. Gradually, they 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 Corpse Husband’s birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. Corpse Husband thus enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche, between his determination and his routines, between his drive for self-assertion and his receptivity, his ideal and his sensitivity.

Corpse Husband’s parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to him, and it is likely that they encouraged him to develop his own individuality. As a result, he was and is able to be comfortable with himself as he is instead of striving to attain his parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family.

In Corpse Husband’s emotional relationships with his peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images his 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.

Corpse Husband does not always feel in tune with society’s rules and conventions. The mask of sociability most well-adapted people wear is difficult for Corpse Husband to assume, and it is hard for Corpse Husband to act out the roles expected of Corpse Husband as a normal member of the community. The usual social values and rewards, like money, respect, and prestige, only mildly interest Corpse Husband. Corpse Husband’s refusal or inability to play the social game may make it hard for Corpse Husband to find a job, which may have negative consequences on Corpse Husband’s financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, Corpse Husband sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, Corpse Husband 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 Corpse Husband’s financial difficulties may clear up when Corpse Husband’s emotional ones do.

Corpse Husband is fairly strong-willed, and 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.

Corpse Husband’s insecurities might cause him to come off as haughty and arrogant. His vanity is easily wounded, and he abhor overt criticism.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Extremely sociable, Corpse Husband is instinctively in tune with others. A need to be accepted and respected makes him tactful and diplomatic; in fact, he will sometimes swallow his personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group. He is also fond of harmony and order in artistic terms; he is sensitive and discerning, and will avoid anything crude and vulgar. As a result, he is sometimes offended by the harsh demands of existence. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) take a central role in his life.

Corpse Husband has a sensitive personality. They may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. They are subject to cyclical energy flows and go from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in their behavior may be explained by emotional problems they may have experienced in infancy: their mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Optimistic and happy to be alive, Corpse Husband is a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. He is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of himself and his belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. He is quite likely to be a professional success; his vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and his urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society. By old age, his good reputation and prominence may have earned him fame.

Although Corpse Husband’s demeanor is cool and distant, he is extremely sensitive. In some cases, his rather austere and rigid behavior and his refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. He has spells of melancholy in which he does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid himself any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for his inner self to be detached from this past life, and he sometimes has trouble reconciling the image he has of himself as an adult with the one he acquired back then. The idea he has of himself as an individual is related to the image his parents projected onto him as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and he is now an adult. Through self-work, he can rid himself of these phantoms. He has the ability to overcome his mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve his goals. Nevertheless, he must not repress his sensitivity in order to succeed.

Despite Corpse Husband’s desire to devote himself to the creation of a mild and harmonious emotional climate, he sometimes encounters friction with others. His vision of other people is sometimes clouded by feelings of insecurity, and his need to obtain acceptance at any price may sometimes drive him to make too many concessions or compromises.

Corpse Husband sometimes has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although his 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 his self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, he is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Love and Sensuality:

In affairs of the heart, Corpse Husband is fairly shy, reserved, and discreet. Even in intimacy, he remains modest and does not always readily express his feelings. He’s 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 partner.

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

Paradoxically, although love, the need for a soulmate, and psychological considerations rule Corpse Husband’s life, Corpse Husband is quite self-focused. Corpse Husband is a consummate charmer and cannot bear not being loved. Corpse Husband craves admiration and adulation – unconsciously, Corpse Husband dream of becoming a star. If, however, Corpse Husband finds fulfillment in love, all Corpse Husband’s worldly, psychological, and artistic qualities will thrive.

Hesitant and timid when it comes to affairs of the heart, Corpse Husband doesn’t know which partner to choose or when he should settle down. Particularly drawn to people who are (too) attractive or (too) sophisticated and who are not really suited to him, he 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.

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

Mental and Intellect:

Corpse Husband has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. He is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information he will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, it sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.

Corpse Husband 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.
