Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Due to Joey Graceffa’s unconscious feelings of insecurity, he is fairly individualistic. Although he sometimes mingles with groups for their competitive atmosphere, he will rarely join in them wholeheartedly, preferring to work on his own projects independently. A lack of confidence in himself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. His lack of self-esteem may also sometimes inhibit the full expression of his generosity and love.

You have a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you 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, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure.

Although this system was quite useful to Joey 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 Joey 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, Joey sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Joey should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

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

Joey Graceffa has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. Joey is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as Joey’s intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with Joey’s “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of Joey, Joey is sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of Joey’s instincts and feels an imperious need to cope with them. This special consciousness that Joey has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for Joey at the outset. It is not easy for Joey to recognize Joey in any social or narcissistic models, or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so Joey sometimes finds Joey forced to assert and express Joey’s own identity in a way which may strike Joey’s contemporaries as strangely intense if not eccentric.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Mild and sensitive, Joey Graceffa is deeply human. He is sociable and sincerely devoted to others. His mother or a mother-figure had a strong influence on his psyche, and his childhood was an important time in his life. He still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the basis for his reveries, for his extreme sensitivity, and for habits which he may be slow to break. However, he will thrive in the shelter of a family setting, soothed by the presence of a spouse and children. He is fond of security and routine; being somewhat impressionable and anxious, he may have trouble adjusting to situations which are unfamiliar.

Joey Graceffa is extremely sensitive and perceptive. He luxuriates in tenderness and gentleness more than passion. Because he abhor any form of violence and are disturbed by the absence of harmony, he has developed a tact and diplomacy which make his relations with others smooth and easy.

Although Joey Graceffa’s demeanor is cool and distant, he is extremely sensitive. In some cases, his rather austere and rigid behavior and his refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. He has spells of melancholy in which he does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid himself any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for his inner self to be detached from this past life, and he sometimes has trouble reconciling the image he has of himself as an adult with the one he acquired back then. The idea he has of himself as an individual is related to the image his parents projected onto him as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and he is now an adult. Through self-work, he can rid himself of these phantoms. He has the ability to overcome his mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve his goals. Nevertheless, he must not repress his sensitivity in order to succeed.

Due to Joey Graceffa’s need for security, he tends to limit the scope of his activities, and sometimes must struggle to muster the energy to face unfamiliar situations. He is more or less passive and has a strong urge to take refuge in the past.

Love and Sensuality:

Joey Graceffa has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of his emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule his sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

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

Joey Graceffa is an expert at pleasing the people he loves and making them happy. A profound lover or artist, he knows how to touch another person’s inner world and devote himself entirely to them. Because he is sensual, he enjoys creature comforts and is likely to live in a beautiful home, probably in the country. He’ll enjoy entertaining. Nature invigorates him, and he thrives on family life.

Joey Graceffa is an innocent romantic who sometimes tends to live his life on the level of dreams rather than reality. He is fairly flexible in relation to feelings and emotions, and his character may change according to the tide of influences he receives. He may become dependent on the person he loves. Nurturing family could be one of his chief purposes in life.

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

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

Mental and Intellect:

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

Joey Graceffa expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. He is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, he looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
