An extroverted intuitive (to use C.G. Jung’s terms), Justin Timberlake is open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. He has a special duality to his mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving him great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, he has a great sense of his fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, his advice is often sought. In material terms, it gives him a talent for locating lost objects and a spirit of discovery and invention. Overall, he welcomes the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy him, he has the ability to cheer himself up rapidly and is quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for him. It is up to him to renew himself, to behave in such a way as to drain his environment of fearsome or threatening aspects.

He is usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within himself, he senses the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of his ideal and all his hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in his striving to free himself and his fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, he displays a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces he intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because he is quite sociable, the only thing he instinctively grasp profoundly is social action and organization. His perception of his own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, his grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide his unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, his fear of strong personalities. But he is above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of his spirit, and he is continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As he applies himself to ignoring whatever is impervious to his aspirations, he should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for him and the world. In fact, in relation to his ideal, he behaves realistically, although others are unable to perceive his realism because he expressed himself in such an unconventional and eccentric fashion.

He is passionately committed to the quest and research he has initiated and will pursue it with determination if not fury. He judges and defines himself in opposition to society, and human relations are vital to the evolution of his personality. An elitist, he does not believe in human equality, preferring individuality. He seeks a way to unite them without abolishing their differences. He would like to create a utopian community with no ideological imperatives, a self-ruled entity which would recognize its own spirit as the only authority. His definition of friendship is spiritual love, because it establishes a subtle, vast, and delicate web of bonds, not only between people, but between people and things. He imagines a vow of true friendship as a form of freedom which reassures the freedom of others, instead of threatening it. However, he should become aware that this ideal harmony, which is often rather difficult to put into practice, sometimes hides an unavowed fear of deep commitment to another person. For this reason, his love life is among the more erratic.

Warm and giving to the world in general, in certain special cases he may become cold or even distant. He is determined to elude any perceived threat to his freedom and pick his way through a world of paradoxes and contradictions. His sensuality is associated with his imagination, and he loves people not for what they are in reality, but for the way his imagination transfigures them. The result is disillusionment. But when he falls in love, it’s for real.

Justin Timberlake tends to place his emotions in the forefront. He is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.

Justin Timberlake has a sense of selfless duty and devotion. Work is one of the most important aspects of life for Justin Timberlake.

At the time of Justin Timberlake’s birth, his rising sign was located in Virgo (the Virgin), while the sun was passing through the sign of Aquarius (the Water Bearer). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide his personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of his character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Modesty – Independence – Analytical thought – Rebelliousness – Strict logic – Originality – Attention to detail – Fluctuation – Perfectionism – Irritability – Worry and anxiety – Inventive spirit – Nervousness – Sense of paradox.

He has a paradoxical nature which hosts two antinomic and conflicting tendencies at opposite poles from one another. As a result, he swings from rebellion against authority to submissiveness, from kookiness to convention. He is methodical at times and chaotic at others, shy on some days and eccentric on others.

Despite this complex psychological structure, his analytical intelligence and inventive spirit have great potential. As he matures, he should attain a harmonious synthesis and balanced coordination between the conflicting tendencies. When he learns to control his nervousness, his lifestyle choices should come together nicely.

Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, Justin Timberlake is of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, his personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. His ideas are original and often bold, but, to his dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers.

His sense of humor is his best communications tool, but he often switches to a more severe tone which breaks his charm over his audience, and his methods do not always please the masses.

His lack of flexibility hinders his strategies and projects, and he would gain by developing his sense of diplomacy and tact. Although he is not unduly attached to success, because he is so used to being ahead of his time, his failures take a psychological toll on him. Because each setback wears him down a little more, he should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
