Linda has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within her psyche: one is related to her instincts and endows her with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires her with a precise awareness of her purpose and dignity as a human being among her fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble her quest for inner harmony at times.

However, the difficulty you must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, you must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if you identify with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, you can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding you derive from it. In daily life, you could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, you have the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of your thought is apt to enable you to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, you can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems.

On another level, you have a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. You conceive of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call you an idealist. If you seek an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Your originality comes from the fact that you always strive to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values.

All of these skills and resources predispose you to devote yourself to society. In the process, however, you are likely to overdo it to such a degree that your own personality is overshadowed. That is, you would identify too heavily with your social mask (your persona) and lose awareness of your individuality.

Linda has a personality which is relatively aloof and introspective. In fact, she is not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and leads the independent life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, she is still shrewd and objective in her insights and judgments. She has a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to her. Her personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values – philosophical or scientific facts in relation to spiritual values. Sometimes she seems detached and weary, or disillusioned, and she does not appreciate the social whirl. She does not readily express her feelings and emotions, but she feels a need to protect and restrain an inner sensitivity and emotionality. Her sense of time, a true instinct, is very important. It rules and coordinates all of her activities.

Linda finds her work extremely rewarding. Daily life and routine activities are excellent sources of self-fulfillment for her.
