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

Maya Hawke’s tendency to introversion inclines her to live inside herself, amid her inner world. She is apt to listen to her subjectivity, her intuition, and her secret opinions rather than reason and logic.

Maya’s uppermost concern is her personal, subjective interest. Because the development of her personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, she tries to free herself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, she remains fairly detached from the social world. She reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, she derives her feelings of inner security from her ability to command her will and handle her personal involvements freely and openly.

Sentimental and emotional, Maya lives in a world which is in continual contact with her dreams and subconscious. She cannot live without love, and, like water which flows into and takes on the shape of the vessel which contains it, she is always ready to submerge herself in another person. Stirred by forces she does not control, she may be aroused by passions which are impervious to the restraints of reason and logic. She is an emotive creature in harmony with the flow of her feelings, impulses, and urges.

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