Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Jack Anderson is searching for stability; Jack wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for Jack’s life. But Jack’s efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, Jack is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time Jack reaches what Jack believes to be a good balance, Jack realizes Jack wants something entirely different. Jack 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.

Born under a new moon (when the moon and sun were in the same part of the sky), Jack Anderson enjoys a positive balance between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche. His determination and sensitivity balance one another and work together harmoniously. His inner life contributes to the relationships with other people which make up his outer life. His parents or teachers probably gave him the type of education which was adapted to his personality.

As a result, Jack’s personality is basically balanced, which, of course, does not mean that his life is devoid of little asperities. Generally, the goals Jack sets for himself correspond to his skills. Without giving the matter much thought, he tends to follow prevailing trends and behave in a conventional enough way. He is subjective and sees the world according to his own perceptions instead of the way it really is.

Jack Anderson has great strength of character. Jack Anderson’s courage and endurance enable Jack Anderson to accomplish even extremely arduous tasks. Although Jack Anderson sometimes behaves impulsively, Jack Anderson generally knows how to plan out an effective strategy, and, as a result, Jack Anderson reaches Jack Anderson’s goals without meeting any major obstacles. Jack Anderson’s forcefulness gives Jack Anderson certain leadership skills, which Jack Anderson may implement to creative and constructive ends.

Jack Anderson 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. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but 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 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:

Jack Anderson is pragmatic and realistic. He evaluates people and things according to practical, common-sense criteria instead of abstract concepts. A sensualist and lover of luxury, he has a penchant for material comfort and takes great joy in physical pleasures. In relation to others, socially and privately, he likes to build stable relationships and is not especially fond of change. His warmth gives him a great deal of ease when meeting people, as clients (for business purposes), but his close relations also benefit from this affection and his ability to express his feelings naturally and openly.

Jack Anderson’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, Jack Anderson does not always avail himself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although Jack Anderson enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, Jack Anderson’s thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. Jack Anderson is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste Jack Anderson’s nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, Jack Anderson’s feelings sometimes blur Jack Anderson’s objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause Jack Anderson to make errors in judgment.

Jack Anderson has a sensitive and imaginative mind, which sometimes causes him to have 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:

Jack Anderson’s personality is dominated by love and affectivity. He is subject to love at first sight, and his gallant heart sometimes leaps forth impulsively; his sensitivity is lively and powerful. Amorous rivalries and conquests may be a recurring theme throughout his life.

Jack Anderson’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. Jack enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with Jack’s gaze riveted on the future, Jack is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Jack Anderson’s love of life, gaiety, and aura of sensuality make him attractive. He has simple tastes which may border on the rustic. Pragmatic and realistic, he is not likely to rush into marriage on a wild impulse. Quite the contrary, he’ll take his time and plan out every detail. Because he is very sensual, he enjoys luxury and entertaining guests and is likely to dwell in a comfortable house, probably in a rural setting. Nature invigorates him, and he thrives on family life.

Jack Anderson’s love of freedom and high ideals tend to draw him to successful people, sportsmen, and adventurers. He has a good chance of meeting a partner who accepts his independence, respects his freedom, and shares his enthusiasm and love of traveling.

Jack Anderson has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of his main purposes in life. His personal charm and magnetism are compellingly seductive; unfortunately, his attempts at conquest do not always lead to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to his impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to those he is attracted to may sometimes lack tact and delicacy. As a result of the foregoing, it may be somewhat difficult for him to maintain stable and harmonious relationships. Indeed, his emotional behavior is subject to a conflict between his quest for love and his need to satisfy his lust. His outpourings of affection and his need to be loved in return sometimes create complicated situations in which lust may be confused with love, or love may exist without lust, and he may feel unrequited or unfulfilled. This inner contradiction is a sign of his tendency to derive pleasure from suffering – either his own or that of his partner. The relationship thus becomes the setting for a sort of power struggle, weakening it as a source of psychological equilibrium. Nevertheless, he could sublimate this difficulty through artistic expression.

Cautious and reserved, Jack Anderson is sometimes unwilling to open himself to others if he is not sure of being accepted. He will always hang back somewhat from his emotional urges, parceling out his expressions of affection, because he has learned – sometimes at his expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For Jack, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when he is in love, he remains fairly circumspect. When he finds himself attracted to a partner, he privately engages in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether he is likely to be able to share his life and future with them. As a result of his sensitivity, Jack has a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich his existence and make it pleasant. He could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

Mental and Intellect:

Jack Anderson is somewhat plodding but realistic and pragmatic. Because Jack is chiefly preoccupied with the practical aspects of things, Jack is especially apt to develop more efficient production concepts. Although Jack’s good judgment and common sense provide Jack with an excellent ability to handle the tangible world (Jack is certainly clever, and can quickly assess the tangible value of things), Jack’s thought processes might be relatively impervious to abstract concepts and spiritual awakenings.

Jack Anderson 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.
