Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

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

Joseph Quinn is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps he was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. He has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tends to be rather uncompromising, and has a touchy sense of his personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though he were fighting an inner battle with his father or a father figure. The psychological models he received from his father or a father figure as a result of his interaction and his own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping his relationships with the outer world and society. He may thus have been forced to compensate for this lack with individual determination.

As a result, although he is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes him timid and hesitant. He sometimes feels as though he is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. He tends to be far too critical of himself and rarely feel satisfied that he is living up to his ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead him to turn down the prominent career positions for which he is fully qualified. He is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like him.

Joseph Quinn enjoys sharing and has a constant need for contact with other people. Joseph Quinn tends to be free and uninhibited in his relations with other people, rarely allowing himself to be influenced by convention or prevailing opinion; Joseph Quinn associates with whomever he pleases. This attitude makes Joseph Quinn’s life refreshing and exciting, and Joseph Quinn is never bored. In career terms, Joseph Quinn is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where Joseph Quinn’s intellectual singularity and lively wit would make him an amazing hit. Joseph Quinn would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

Joseph Quinn has a profound and fertile inner life and a prolific imagination, but his energy resources are not always sufficient to follow through on and accomplish his multitude of dreams. He tends to live in osmosis with his environment, and effort and action take a heavy toll on him. Usually, he understands phenomena and events intuitively, without really making any effort; so he is not in the habit of disciplining or shaping his thought processes. Like his thoughts, his personality is rather amorphous and disorganized. As a result of this lack of structure, he may have some trouble asserting his individuality and making some personal contribution to society through his career. His tendency to shut out reality and dream impossible dreams, like his refusal of responsibility and duty, may be a source of some difficulty for him.

Joseph Quinn has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. He 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 his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with his “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of himself, he is sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of his instincts and feels an imperious need to cope with them. This special consciousness he 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 him at the outset. It is not easy for him to recognize himself in any social or narcissistic models, or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so he sometimes finds himself forced to assert and express his own identity in a way which may strike his contemporaries as strangely intense if not eccentric.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Joseph Quinn is extremely receptive to the mood in his surroundings. He is unconsciously able to perceive the parapsychic signals or aura people give off, in addition to their words. As a result, he is extremely compassionate and ready to devote himself to their well-being. His imagination has formulated the dream of an ideal life, and he sometimes feels ill-equipped for the realities of this existence. He tends to dodge difficult situations. With his partner, he seeks fusion.

Because Joseph Quinn discovered his individuality early in life, he quickly developed an original and independent identity. His first taste of liberty may have led him to challenge the education and values he received from family and class tradition, and he was able to forge a strong, original personality and philosophy. His relationships are usually free of conflict, because he is able to reconcile his need for independence with his desire for affection. However, his partners should be open and lively people, able to keep pace with him in his rapid evolution. He has an inspired and extremely lively wit and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. He would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although he is an individualist, he has a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

Due to Joseph Quinn’s extreme sensitivity and irrepressible imagination, he sometimes has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although his imagination can be an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern earning a decent living out in the real world. In a relationship, Joseph is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are. He has elegant tastes and art and beauty are one of his chief pleasures in life.

Joseph Quinn does not always readily reveal himself, and he tends to protect his sensitivity. He has a penchant for intense emotions. Sexuality is a prominent element in his life, and his relationships, which are usually passionate, are motivated by his desires. He likes to understand the hidden side of people, their secret or unconfessed motivations. He would thus find a career which placed him in contact with troubled people especially rewarding.

Love and Sensuality:

Joseph Quinn’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.

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

Joseph Quinn’s hypersensitivity and extreme emotionalism might present challenges. They cause his feelings and emotional bonds to rule his destiny. Unable to refuse when someone appeals to his sense of devotion, he may be gobbled up by an unscrupulous person. If this happens, he may even be happy about his self-denial. Otherwise, his happiness will derive from a snug home.

Joseph Quinn has had a precocious love life. His fiery passions fill him with energy. He will be fortunate enough to meet a partner he admires and whose interests, and most likely successes, he will share.

Joseph Quinn 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 give him nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of his well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to his impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to potential partners may sometimes lack delicacy.

Mental and Intellect:

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

Joseph Quinn 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.

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

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

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

Joseph Quinn has a definite taste for expression and communication. He cannot survive without giving voice to his thoughts and speaking to other people. He delights in his own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with his words.

Especially attracted to anything new and original, Joseph immediately grasps the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be, and has a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because Joseph is fairly high strung, he may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. Joseph may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency.

Joseph’s open-mindedness offers him creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career Joseph chooses, his personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.

Joseph Quinn has a great deal of intuition but sometimes has problems organizing his thought processes and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to his mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. His thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. He tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, he can’t see the trees for the forest.

In daily life, although his perceptions are lively and subtle, he may display a kind of absent-mindedness, out of a fear of annoying people with his shrewdness or of fighting to assert himself. His imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
