Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

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

Jay-Z has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding his identity. Perhaps his father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during his childhood, which deprived him of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because he might have 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 him 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, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, he should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Extremely sociable, Jay-Z is instinctively in tune with others. A need to be accepted and respected makes Jay-Z tactful and diplomatic; in fact, Jay-Z will sometimes swallow personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group. Jay-Z is also fond of harmony and order in artistic terms; Jay-Z is sensitive and discerning, and will avoid anything crude and vulgar. As a result, Jay-Z is sometimes offended by the harsh demands of existence. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) take a central role in Jay-Z’s life.

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

Jay-Z is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as his sensitivity is touched. Although he feels that his independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, he is sometimes frustrated by his need to rely on his family or friends. Moreover, he does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as his own. Likewise, he is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if he feared that it would doom him to eternal dependency. His ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship he had with his mother or a mother figure. Although he was dependent on them, they may have rejected him. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which his sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off his feelings of dependency, he tends to become destructive. Based on denial, his reactions are sometimes fierce, impulsive, and excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Love and Sensuality:

Aware that Jay-Z was taught to experience love in a certain way by his family, social class, or religion, he is determined to experiment with a new style. His idealistic aspirations may be a form of escapism. They encourage him to cast off conventional romantic practices and customs and embark on new adventures.

Jay-Z’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, he is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Romantic, cheerful, and seductive, Jay-Z attracts affection and success. He is quite sociable and genuinely devoted to everyone’s happiness. The person who knows how to appreciate and pamper Jay-Z will find he is truly a prize. Marriage could provide Jay-Z with an entertaining lifestyle, which includes contact with prominent people or the artistic world.

A delicate and sensitive soul, but with a carefree and flighty nature, Jay-Z 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.

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

From the outside, Jay-Z 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:

More theoretical than logical and more intuitive than rational, Jay-Z’ thought patterns come to the fore when they are applied to a vast subject. Jay-Z is attracted to wide open spaces and distant horizons; as a scholar, Jay-Z feels an affinity for higher studies such as philosophy or law. However, foreign languages or contacts abroad might also interest Jay-Z.

Jay-Z 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.

Jay-Z has a lively and agile spirit. Jay-Z is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of Jay-Z’s great mental vitality, Jay-Z tends to have an opinion on every subject, but Jay-Z does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth.

Jay-Z enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amusing Jay-Zself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If Jay-Z learned to control Jay-Z’s flow of words and elaborate Jay-Z’s thoughts more, Jay-Z could make a talented communicator. Because Jay-Z is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform Jay-Z’s ideas, Jay-Z is sometimes misunderstood.

Jay-Z is often blind to the rashness of Jay-Z’s judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around Jay-Z. If Jay-Z were to succeed in disciplining Jay-Z’s mind somewhat, Jay-Z would have innumerable opportunities to apply Jay-Z’s communications skills to a great career. However, Jay-Z would do well to be careful of Jay-Z’s nerves.
