Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Due to my unconscious feelings of insecurity, I am a serious, steadfast individual who tries to stay grounded. My ambitions are strong, and I will always be seeking a higher social position. I sometimes adopt a strategy of solitude and introversion.

Gloom is extremely vigorous and energetic and has an immense need to assert its individuality. Its attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power, which incites it to rush into action despite the frequent threat of risk and danger. Because Gloom has very little control over its energy and impulses, it sometimes injures itself bodily or starts arguments without really having meant to do so. Gloom has a short temper and would do well to learn to control its recklessness, which exposes it to a great deal of unnecessary conflict and adversity. Gloom is also likely to start projects which are not really appropriate to it, only to be forced to quit soon after. Before Gloom makes any important decision, it must learn to stop and ask itself if what it is about to do is really positive for it.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Usually cool and distant in demeanor, Gloom represses its feelings and sensitivity and avoids the sort of situation where it 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 its love life, Gloom is capable of plunging all its energy into its work. Gloom seeks social recognition through its career achievements.

Gloom has a sensitive nature. Although Gloom may sometimes have trouble controlling emotional reactions, they are nevertheless a source of vital energy for a constructive passion and may make an extremely positive contribution to Gloom’s career. In relations with other people, Gloom is quite friendly; Gloom willingly reaches out to people and knows how to listen to their desires and their problems.

Although Gloom’s demeanor is cool and distant, Gloom is extremely sensitive. In some cases, Gloom’s rather austere and rigid behavior and Gloom’s refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. Gloom has spells of melancholy in which Gloom does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid Gloomself emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. Gloom may have suffered rejection in Gloom’s infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect Gloomself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, Gloom withdrew into Gloomself and developed Gloom’s aloofness as a defense mechanism. When Gloom finally lets down Gloom’s defenses and allows Gloomself to express Gloom’s feelings, Gloom tends to become impassioned and exalted. Gloom is fairly introverted and egocentric and has a powerful sense of Gloom’s own identity.

Due to nagging feelings of insecurity, Gloom sometimes tries to justify himself to others and gain their approval by showing that he is worthy of their affection. Nevertheless, Gloom’s pessimism remains, and the severe taboos Gloom unconsciously places on himself sometimes keep Gloom from developing quickly.

Love and Sensuality:

I am sometimes afraid to love – the world of my feelings is characterized by a certain chill and restraint. But I am not unfeeling; on the contrary, my sensitivity is so delicate that I am careful to protect it. My determination to maintain control of my feelings and force my emotions to obey the laws of reason may stand in the way of intimacy and joy.

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

Inhibited when it comes to emotion, Gloom is more comfortable with its career, where its desire to progress and its taste for power give it wings, and it might intimidate potential, insecure partners and find itself in equivocal relationships. Gloom will be happiest when it finds a balance between its work and intimate life.

I do not always adapt well to change, and I am an extremely faithful partner in love. Mutual respect, work, and shared interests will be the glue that cements the bond of our married life. Moreover, my companion should be able to contribute to our social success. Although the marriage may not be an especially affectionate one at first, a profound and enduring love should emerge later.

Gloom 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, Gloom is 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. Gloom is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expects them to amaze and fascinate them. Their greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although Gloom merges 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 Gloom; otherwise, Gloom is 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 Gloom 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 Gloom from forming stable relationships.

Indeed, Gloom is 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 Gloom thinks of love as a restraint, they may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, Gloom 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, Gloom is also likely to meet “the one” who inspires them to initiate a change in their behavior.

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

Mental and Intellect:

Gloom sometimes considers the input from its subjectivity and emotions as static which it tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of its field of study, Gloom tries to obtain perspective. Gloom will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. Its 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 Gloom.

Gloom does not express their thoughts and ideas smoothly or easily. Gloom tends to be subjective, seeking to know themselves better through a process of introversion.

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

In relations with other people, Gloom’s behavior is usually kind and benevolent. Gloom exerts a certain charm, knows how to speak persuasively and convincingly, and is adept at smoothing the asperities of what Gloom has to say when it is necessary. This aspect of Gloom’s personality is a great advantage to Gloom socially; however, in situations where Gloom must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, Gloom may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave.

Gloom has an undeniable gift for oratory which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression (as a stage or screen actor). Writing and dance, two other arts which associate expression and movement, might also be fields in which Gloom would excel.

Gloom has a definite taste for expression and communication. Gloom cannot survive without giving voice to its thoughts and speaking to other people. Gloom delights in its own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with its words.

Especially attracted to anything new and original, Gloom immediately grasps the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be, and has a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because Gloom is fairly high strung, Gloom may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. Gloom may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency.

Gloom’s open-mindedness offers Gloom creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career Gloom chooses, Gloom’s personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.
