Jennifer Lopez is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in her psychological make-up, she has acquired a deep sense of her individuality and uniqueness. She sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of herself, she attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of her efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated.

It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because her impressive deeds usually earn recognition for her, and reinforce her self-assurance and her certainty that she does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. She sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. She likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of her conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. She may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society.

The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives her to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on her ego. By creating something, she can make her own individual mark on the world; she can organize it to reflect her own image, instead of allowing herself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in her own image are strong indications that she seeks to identify with her superego. The difference between her ideal of herself and the individual she knows herself to be in truth, measured in terms of her social recognition or the recognition of her creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine her state of mind. It is therefore important for her to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible.

The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in her personality. Her dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; her strong instinct and ambition combined with her somewhat exaggerated individualism incline her to be self-focused. She may be proud, but she is also courageous, determined, and generous. She has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, she is mysteriously lucky.

Jennifer Lopez is sensual. Pleasure is important to her.

Jennifer Lopez’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. She is attached to her family, her heritage, and her past.

At the time of Jennifer Lopez’s birth, her rising sign was located in Capricorn (the Goat), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide her personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of her character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Narcissism – Need for security – Determination – Inhibition – Pride and self-assurance – Application – Superiority – Methodical mind – Brilliance – Forethought – Generosity – Loyalty – Optimism.

Her energetic, proud, and self-admiring side engages her guileful, withdrawn, calculating side either in conflict or in cooperation, depending on the circumstances.

Her authority and determination often monopolize her energy, at the expense of her emotions. Or she may find herself distracted from pursuing her goals by the whisperings of her heart. By middle age, however, she should reach a balance which gives liberal expression to all her gifts. Control over her emotions, pride, and passions should then give her access to the highest realms of self-realization.

Born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, Jennifer Lopez is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that her character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to her, and she chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, she often runs into trouble with authority figures.

When overwhelmed by her conscience, she raves about how destructive it is to long for the past, how ridiculous it is to be old-fashioned, and how obsolete the old values are.

Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. She would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, her initiatives will be most successful, especially if she is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
