Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Danny Gonzalez seems passive and more or less resigned to his fate, including his insecurity. Actually, Danny is fairly introverted and withdrawn, trying to make sense out of his inner confusion and fathom his inner depths.

Danny Gonzalez is extremely sensitive and receptive and tends to live in osmosis with his surroundings. His individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over him, and he sometimes finds it difficult to communicate his feelings to other people or engage in any structured, analytical thought. This may stem from a misunderstanding with his teachers when he was a child. Unable to understand their disciplinary measures or authority, he may have withdrawn into himself in self-defense. It was then that he constructed his rich inner life, the part of him they could not invade, and cut many of his ties to the outside.

Because he enjoyed indulging in his inner life, it may have been difficult for him to acquire an objective vision of reality. As a result, even today, he tends to create imaginary problems for himself, regardless of the objective facts outside. Although his imagination is a source of inspiration and intuition, his fluid inner structure and organization sometimes make it difficult for him to grasp the essence of his dreams and share them with other people. He is not at all combative, and this tends to hinder his efforts to fit into society and assert himself productively.

He is likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but his refusal to abandon his unattainable dreams is a psychological trap he has fallen into without realizing it. He must understand that by running away from his obligations and commitments, he only increases the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once he frees himself from this pernicious process, he has a great deal of potential for fulfilling himself in the outer world, either by devoting himself to some sort of social work or by cultivating his considerable artistic talents.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

An eloquent speaker and compulsive charmer, Danny Gonzalez has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make him seem arrogant or smug. He cares a great deal about his reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around him. Fond of social events and parties, Danny likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, Danny has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. Danny enjoys displaying his generosity, but he also display a short temper at times; Danny is easily offended. His partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to Danny and capable of enhancing his reputation.

Danny Gonzalez is extremely sensitive and perceptive. He luxuriates in tenderness and gentleness more than passion. Because he abhor any form of violence and is disturbed by the absence of harmony, he has developed a tact and diplomacy which make his relations with others smooth and easy.

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

Danny Gonzalez does not always readily reveal himself, and he tends to protect his sensitivity. He has a penchant for intense emotions. Sexuality is a prominent element in his life, and his relationships, which are usually passionate, are motivated by his desires. He likes to understand the hidden side of people, their secret or unconfessed motivations. He would thus find a career which placed him in contact with troubled people especially rewarding.

Love and Sensuality:

Danny Gonzalez 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.

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

Always riding on a wave of enthusiasm, Danny Gonzalez is in love and dashing. His frankness is sometimes devastating, and his aggressiveness sometimes creates problems. A strong-minded person, he is not ready to give up either his freedom or his taste for adventure. He tends to place loved ones on a pedestal and then find himself feeling disappointed. However, he is ready to devote himself entirely to cheering for and supporting the mate he eventually chooses.

As a result of Danny’s sensitivity, he is inclined to healthy and simple pleasures and satisfactions which endure the tests of time and legal sanctions like marriage. He will delight in loving a person who takes meticulous care of him and makes sure he lives like royalty. He tends to loathe complications and knots in his emotional and romantic commitments.

Danny Gonzalez has an ardent and amorous character, and their relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, they are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, their love life may be subject to some instability. They are generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate them. Their greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although they merge their ego entirely into the couple, they are likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If their partner charms and captivates them long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with them; otherwise, they are likely to yield to their need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for them. Midlife may be a turning point for them from this point of view. Their contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. Their behavior enables them to remain aloof, to commit themselves only halfway without consciously admitting it to themselves, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when they lose interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps them from forming stable relationships.

Indeed, they are tormented by the struggle between their undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, their romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by their conviction that their partner has become an obstacle to their individual progress. Because they think of love as a restraint, they may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, they will try to deflect the love function from its natural target and use the energy and bliss it generates for other purposes, the process psychologists call sublimation. However, they are also likely to meet “the one” who inspires them to initiate a change in their behavior.

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

From the outside, Danny Gonzalez seems to be detached and aloof, but on the inside he is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because he sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, he tries to control not only his own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of his partners. He aspires to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning himself and yielding to the other terrifies him. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because he is guarded and somewhat secretive, he tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although he is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, he will not express his feelings unless he is 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 his emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, he is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Mental and Intellect:

Danny Gonzalez’s intellect, which is simultaneously subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience, predisposes him to a people-oriented activity. With his memory and imagination combined with his shrewdness, he would be a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.

Danny Gonzalez does not express his thoughts and ideas smoothly or easily. He tends to be subjective, seeking to know himself better through a process of introversion.

Danny Gonzalez’s intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because they are turned inward. Because Danny tends to be oriented toward himself, Danny rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, Danny sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult to Danny to express the complexity of his inner perceptions.

Danny Gonzalez has a mind with an insatiable appetite for knowledge and an exceptional ability to learn. Without trying too hard, Danny could probably accumulate encyclopedic erudition. Danny’s intellectual curiosity is such that it is sometimes a drawback. Danny sometimes has trouble limiting himself to a single subject without being distracted by a multitude of others.

Discipline and a conscious effort at organization will be of great help if Danny wants to deepen his learning and judgment. Once Danny’s intellectual faculties are disciplined, Danny is likely to succeed in any of the following fields: teaching, historical scholarship, advertising, writing (journalistic or literary), travel, etc: – in fact, communication in any form.
