Dave Nilsson is patient. He is fond of routine, ritual, and any other events or ceremonies which mark the passage of time and the seasons. He tries to be as pragmatic as possible and unconsciously senses that his relationship with material things will be the best foundation for his self-development and individuation. As a result, he is attached to his possessions and will make every effort to cling to them.

Dave Nilsson has a paternal complex, which means that he has trouble finding his identity. His father or a father figure may have been absent physically or emotionally during his childhood, which deprived him of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because Dave Nilsson 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 Dave Nilsson to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because his authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, Dave Nilsson sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Dave Nilsson should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Dave Nilsson is aware of the void and the vanity of existence. He is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with his “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of himself, Dave Nilsson sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of the life instinct and feels an imperious need to cope with it. This special consciousness Dave Nilsson has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for him at the outset. It is not easy for Dave Nilsson to recognize himself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so he sometimes find himself forced to construct and assert his own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Dave Nilsson is a person who values freedom and independence. He expends a lot of energy trying to ensure that his private life expresses those values. To avoid being tied down, he’s skittish when it comes to any profound involvement in a relationship. As a result, he might intellectualize his emotions and feelings and feel as though he can live more easily on friendship than on love. He’s extremely socially-minded but idealistic, and he almost certainly feels an affinity with the ideals of some social reform movement. His imagination looks to the future.

Dave Nilsson 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.

Dave Nilsson is an optimistic and happy associate. He is expansive, pleasant, and generous. He has a positive psychological outlook because of his happy childhood and a beneficial maternal influence in infancy. He is likely to be a professional success and his vision of the world is adapted to prevailing opinion. 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.

Dave Nilsson 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. In a relationship, Dave Nilsson is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Dave Nilsson’s sensitivity and emotions are sometimes in conflict with his instincts. This inner discord makes him a fairly complicated relationship partner, and his behavior sometimes strikes others as mysterious or baffling. He is liable to switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of his life, and his relationships are most often motivated by his desires. Nevertheless, due to the strength of his instincts, passion may overwhelm him and drag him into situations he cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

When Dave Nilsson learned that love was supposed to be experienced in a certain way, he decided to try something new. His idealistic aspirations may have been an escape from the reality of his life, but they encouraged him to break with traditional romantic practices and customs. This new adventure may be what he needs to find real happiness.

Dave Nilsson’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, Dave is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Dave Nilsson lives in the moment and sometimes ahead of his time. His original, warm personality charms people but sometimes baffles them. He is independent, preferring open marriage to the more conventional type, unless the latter allows for great mutual freedom. His loves and passions always arise under extraordinary circumstances. He is more attracted by exception than by love itself.

Dave Nilsson is a delicate and sensitive soul with a carefree and flighty nature. He has had many romantic encounters, attracting admirers with his lively and mischievous mind. A great lover of art and literature, he is particularly attracted to outstanding people, to artists and designers, with whom he forms friendships involving a greater or lesser degree of romance. He views friendship as spiritual love and cannot conceive of a relationship that does not involve this noble sentiment.

Dave Nilsson considers the input from his subjectivity and emotions as static which he tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of his field of study, he tries to obtain perspective. He will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. His choice areas of study could be mathematics, philosophy, legislation, or political science. Ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could serve as “food for thought” for him.

Dave Nilsson 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.

Dave Nilsson has a structured mind and penetrating intelligence, but his thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding. This slow pace may be the consequence of some failure or humiliation during his formative years. Dave is fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tends to doubt in himself and his intellectual skills despite his undeniable gifts as a thinker. He should become aware that his thought patterns and habits are the sign that he is on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give him an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort. His mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, Dave is particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. His contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career he chooses, Dave should learn to work alone, because he tends to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. He will also have to learn to conquer his impatience, because he tends to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause him to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, Dave should find the courage to question his convictions.
