Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Jules is trying to overcome his feelings of insecurity. To do so, he needs a home: a dwelling, a territory, or perhaps a safe space or setting where he can rest, and let down his systems of defense against the outer world, which he finds aggressive and hostile. He is ready to make some sacrifices in order to maintain and consolidate the structure he has chosen. True inner security, based on real knowledge of himself, his abilities, and his shortcomings, his strengths and his weaknesses would no doubt be most effective and would allow him to remain open to the varieties of experience offered by the world.

Jules LeBlanc 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.

Jules LeBlanc’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling their psyche. Because their sensitivity is in conflict with their determination, their attitude and performance may be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, they have the feeling they have to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging their yearnings and fulfilling their ambitions. Their unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of their conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage their plans. In their relationships, the images they build up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, also grates on their nerves. They find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Jules has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for Jules to gain access to this part of herself. Jules is confident in herself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. Jules sometimes needs a little stimulation to get herself rolling and take some initiative. Jules’s optimism and inner certainty do not always drive Jules to give her utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills Jules possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. Jules makes use of her theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for Jules would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

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

Jules LeBlanc’s complex and sometimes rather extremist personality is rooted in an instinctual drive which dwarfs mere rationalism. Jules finds the dark side of existence alluring and is attracted to mystery and the occult. Jules delightedly immerses themselves in the depths of human experience, stretching their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual resources to their maximum.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Because Jules LeBlanc is fond of method and order, he usually prefers to do things according to a pre-established plan. His behavior mirrors this tendency. He will adopt relatively strict models elaborated on the basis of logical or moral reasons. He does not readily express his personal feelings or emotions and may sometimes strike others as a rigid person. However, his conscientiousness and application make him thrive in a work environment, and he tends to treat social engagements and activities as a form of duty. His natural taste for clarity, detail, and technique would make him successful as a scientific researcher or high-tech designer.

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

Out of either shyness or caution, Jules LeBlanc hides and protects his sensitivity behind a fairly cool, aloof exterior. He is fairly conservative, respectful of tradition and convention, and likes to follow the rules. Because he needs stability to alleviate his feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, he has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. His ties to his past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because his parents likely gave a lot to him.

Sensitivity and emotions sometimes conflict with Jules LeBlanc’s instincts. This inner discord makes LeBlanc a fairly complicated relationship partner, and LeBlanc’s behavior sometimes strikes others as mysterious or baffling. LeBlanc is liable to switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of LeBlanc’s life, and LeBlanc’s relationships are most often motivated by LeBlanc’s desires. Nevertheless, due to LeBlanc’s unconscious inner battle, LeBlanc does not often succeed in reconciling and fulfilling emotional and sexual needs. Due to the strength of LeBlanc’s instincts, passion may overwhelm LeBlanc and drag LeBlanc into situations LeBlanc cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

Love and Sensuality:

Jules LeBlanc’s attractions are usually immediate and intense. They rise quickly to fever pitch. The story of these passions is often dramatic to excess, combining all the plot elements of a classic love tragedy: jealousy, possessiveness, agony as an erotic stimulant, etc.

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

As a result of a conflict between the conscious, masculine, active principle and the unconscious, feminine, passive one, Jules LeBlanc lives in a state of psychic tension, resenting the gap between what Jules really experience and the ideals Jules wishes for. Jules is hesitant, irresolute, and impressionable.

Jules’s love life is characterized by some confusion, and Jules usually wants to stay on the sidelines. If Jules marries, the relationship may be the product of resignation or pure reason.

As we suggested earlier, Jules thrives on difficult or even lethal passions. Jules might have a very strong sex drive and a penchant for suffering as a redeeming value. Jules’ tumultuous love life, a battle of leviathans, may sometimes escape from its bounds or generate disagreements which may disrupt Jules’ career. However, Jules’ powerful impulses and drive could be channeled into a creative, artistic or spiritual direction.

Jules 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 members of the other sex may sometimes lack delicacy.

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

Mental and Intellect:

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

Jules LeBlanc does not express his thoughts and ideas smoothly or easily. He tends to be subjective, seeking to know himself better through a process of introversion.

Jules LeBlanc’s intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because they are turned inward. Because LeBlanc tends to be oriented toward herself, she rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, LeBlanc sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult to LeBlanc to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.
