Marcus experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Because Marcus Dobre is a social being oriented toward other people, his personal interests often mingle with those of his associates or those of the group to which he belongs. He is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

While Marcus Dobre is attracted to interpersonal activities, his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since Marcus is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. Marcus unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were Marcus to evaluate his psychological development, he would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominate in Marcus Dobre’s psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, Marcus is eager to participate in everything happening around him.

His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration.

Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, Marcus never allows himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

The numerous contradictions and tensions which are a recurrent feature of Marcus Dobre’s astral theme balance each other out and endow him with a stable, well-tempered character. Indeed, they are especially likely to protect him from unsolvable frustrations and, in terms of reality, will enable him to acquire a certain social and professional success without too much effort on his part. At that point, he must be careful not to take on too many responsibilities. His confidence in his ability to accomplish things may make him spread himself too thin.
