Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Indiana Massara is searching for stability; she wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for her life. But her efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, she is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time she reaches what she believes to be a good balance, she realizes she wants something entirely different. She would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Indiana Massara’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling her psyche. Because her sensitivity is in conflict with her determination, her attitude and performance may sometimes be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, she has the feeling she has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging her yearnings and fulfilling her ambitions. Her unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of her conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage her plans. In her relationships, the images she builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, might also annoy her. She could find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Indiana Massara may be subject to mood swings, going from phases of frenzy combined with a feeling of omnipotence and exaltation to phases of apathy and inertia. During Indiana’s “highs,” their behavior is vigorous and dynamic, but it is also likely to be somewhat excessive. These periods tend to be interspersed with “lows,” phases of sluggishness and inhibition, which compensate for Indiana’s immense need to assert themselves as an individual. How can Indiana find a way out of this vicious cycle which uses up so much of their energy? Indiana would have to understand that the source of their attitudes and behavior is an unconscious desire for power. We suggest that Indiana meditate upon power, skills, mastery, challenge, desire, and need, their brothers (or brother substitutes, such as friends, cousins, or classmates) – who are key figures – and their adversaries. This should enlighten Indiana. Of course, once Indiana has a clear awareness of their career ambitions and profound desires, they are sure to have plenty of energy to accomplish them.

Indiana Massara is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that her most precious basic values are freedom and independence. She has thrown off what she perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of her social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Her passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble her relationships, as she may be an uncompromising partner. She would do well to learn to recognize her own limitations and accept the responsibilities she has to other people, or she is liable to find herself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.

The roots of her somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in her relationship with her father or her teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, she may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with her father, in the same way as she now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision she makes as an adult, she is forced to rely on herself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits she must impose on her desires in relation to reality and the law.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Hypersensitive, Indiana Massara is extremely receptive to the mood in her surroundings. She is unconsciously able to perceive the parapsychic signals or aura people give off, in addition to their words. As a result, she is extremely compassionate and ready to devote herself to their well-being. Her imagination has formulated the dream of an ideal life, and she sometimes feels ill-equipped for the realities of this existence. She tends to dodge difficult situations. With her partner, she seeks fusion.

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

Love and Sensuality:

Indiana tries to express their affections in the most graceful and harmonious way possible. Indeed, they have an innate sense of harmony and strive for a love relationship characterized by balance and perfection. They tend to idealize both their partner and the institution of marriage. Any disillusionment they encounter in the pursuit of their ideal may be experienced as a frustration. They do not always ply their powers of seduction skillfully.

Indiana Massara’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of their emotional urges and somewhat wary of their feelings, they try to rid themselves of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Sensitive but plagued by self-doubt, Indiana Massara has a contradictory personality torn between dreams and reality, between their nearly mystical need for love and the practical aspect of things. They are timid and rather inhibited, so they are generally careful to confine themselves to the sidelines. As a result, many chances could pass them by. If a virile mate took them under their wing, they would thrive. Otherwise, they might find happiness with someone as sensitive and timid as themselves, who knows how to understand them in all their complexity.

Indiana Massara is very lucky in love and cannot live without their following of admirers, preferably people of power and influence. Prestige will play an important role in their relationship. A wonderful host, a busy and successful social or society life is essential to their well-being.

From the outside, Indiana Massara seems to be detached and aloof, but on the inside they are an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because they sometimes feel vulnerable emotionally, they try to control not only their own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of their partners. They aspire to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning themselves and yielding to the other terrifies them. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because they are guarded and somewhat secretive, they tend to be suspicious and are especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although they are fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, they will not express their feelings unless they are 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 their emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, they are likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Mental and Intellect:

Indiana has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. They are sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information they 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.

Indiana tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. Her thoughts are usually structured, and her reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.

In the formative years of childhood and adolescence, Indiana Massara may have undergone a conflicting situation which prevented them from developing their intellectual and imaginative faculties in a harmonious way. It may be somewhat difficult for Indiana to integrate new ideas and concepts or to give their thought structure and coherence.

Indiana has a distaste for study, which might require a great deal of effort for them. They could harbor feelings of insecurity that are so acute that they may undermine their will and therefore their ability to compete. However, if they overcame these emotions, they would see that they have plenty of marketable skills and that many satisfactory solutions to their feelings of ineptitude and inadequacy are within their reach.

Because this psychological complex may be related to childhood or adolescent opposition to parental or academic authority, Indiana may not readily accept people who represent law enforcement agencies or power as an adult. They may display some hostility or vindictiveness toward them as a matter of principle. They should sometimes be careful of what they say.
