The Marquis Grissom practices controlling his emotional urges; he practices holding back his impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, he wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, the Marquis Grissom is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

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

He is a very vigorous and energetic man, with a great need to assert himself. His attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power, which incites him to rush into action despite the frequent threat of risk and danger. Because he has very little control over his energy and impulses, he sometimes injures himself bodily or starts arguments without really meaning to do so. He has a short temper and would do well to learn to control his recklessness, which exposes him to a great deal of unnecessary conflict and adversity. He is also likely to start projects which are not really appropriate to him, only to be forced to quit soon after. Before he makes any important decision, he must learn to stop and ask himself if what he is about to do is really positive for him.

The Marquis Grissom has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for him, he tends to think of himself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to him do not always appreciate. Although he is quite likely to succeed in his ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, his lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose him to some danger. His exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for him by causing him to make errors in judgment.

Marquis Grissom is a deeply human individual. He is sensitive and sociable, devoted to others. His mother or a mother figure had a strong influence on him, and his childhood was an important time in his life. He still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the basis for his reveries, for his extreme sensitivity, and for habits which he may be slow to break. However, he will thrive in the shelter of a family setting, soothed by the presence of a spouse and children. He is fond of security and routine; being somewhat impressionable and anxious, he may have trouble adjusting to situations which are unfamiliar.

Marquis Grissom has a sensitive personality. He may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. He is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in his behavior may be explained by emotional problems he may have experienced in infancy: his mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Grissom is optimistic and happy to be alive. He is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. Grissom is extremely kind-hearted himself and gives of himself and his wealth unstintingly. His bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between his desires and reality.

The Marquis Grissom finds it difficult to distinguish dreams from reality. Although his imagination can be an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it often fails him in the practical world. In relationships, he is extremely romantic and often sees others in a more favorable light than they actually are. He has refined tastes and art and beauty are among his chief pleasures.

The Marquis Grissom enjoys captivating people with his elegant and easy expression. He is a witty and engaging flirt, an avid player of the game of love.

The birth chart indicates that Marquis Grissom has an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of his emotional urges and somewhat wary of his feelings, he tries to rid himself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

It seems that you are torn between two different sides of your nature. Your desire to impress clashes with your attachment to the nest; your social ambitions contradict your need for security; and your natural self-focus is hard to reconcile with your altruism. You are likely to marry a prominent person – one you can be proud of. Your own social position may disappoint you, but your family will give you satisfactions you missed out on.

Marquis Grissom is very flirtatious and radiate charm and grace. He is attracted to considerate people who are sophisticated and attentive, as well as being drawn to artistic and fashionable circles. He uses his tact and easy-going nature to smooth things over and put everyone at ease. After many brief romances in his youth, he may settle down with someone special. If it’s going to last, romance must not be allowed to disappear from this relationship.

Cautious and reserved, you are often unwilling to open yourself to others if you are not sure of being accepted. You will always hang back somewhat from your emotional urges, parceling out your expressions of affection, because you have learned – sometimes at your expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For you, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when you are in love, you remain fairly circumspect. When you find yourself attracted to a partner, you privately engage in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether you are likely to be able to share your life and future with them. As a result of your sensitivity, you have a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich your existence and make it pleasant. You could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

The Marquis Grissom was an intuitive thinker. He did not reason things out through a long, articulate, logical discourse; instead, he seized the visions or insights that spontaneously flashed into his consciousness. He thus had a form of immediate knowledge of various phenomena which was based neither on reasoning nor on any elaborate thought process or method. As a result, if he was an extrovert, he would possess an inventive, innovative spirit gifted for improvisation. If he was an introvert, his mind would be an abundant source of personal inner truths.

The Marquis Grissom listens attentively to your thoughts and ideas, often giving thoughtful consideration to what you have to say. He is spontaneous and outspoken, preferring to explore the world around him rather than keep to familiar ground. He is an idealist who looks forward to a bright future, but can be subject to impulsiveness and recklessness.

In relations with other people, your behavior is usually kind and benevolent. You exert a certain charm, know how to speak persuasively and convincingly, and are adept at smoothing the asperities of what you have to say when it is necessary. This aspect of your personality is a great advantage to you socially- however, in situations where you must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, you may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave. You have an undeniable gift for oratory which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression (as a stage or screen actor). Writing and dance, two other arts which associate expression and movement, might also be fields in which you would excel.
