Southside is a steadfast individual who tries to stay grounded. His ambitions are strong, and he will always be seeking a higher social position. Sometimes, he adopts a strategy of solitude and introversion.

Southside is energetic and vigorous, always asserting its individuality. Its attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power. It puzzles the people close to it, who can’t understand why its behavior is the result of pure selfishness or merely of an excess of energy. It’s lively, alert, and determined, but it’s easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit its power. It has a short temper and must learn to control its impulsiveness, which might expose it to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Southside has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. Sometimes Southside is disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as possible. Grappling with his “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of himself, Southside sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of the life instinct and feels an imperious need to cope with it. This special consciousness Southside has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for him at the outset. It is not easy for Southside to recognize himself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so Southside sometimes find himself forced to construct and assert his own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Southside desires physical and mental freedom. His youth and home may have been of the rootless, wandering type, which could have given him a taste for movement and independence. He needs to be aware that his life has a purpose and hunt for it in various belief systems, both traditional and new age. In fact, he has an unmistakable gift for philosophy. The faraway appeals to him, and travel is likely to be an important aspect of his life.

Southside is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find him generous almost to a fault! He gives of himself and his resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when he is self-focused. He reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, his everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, he senses a conflict between his social life and his family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill himself in both spheres at the same time. His attitude toward his private life may inhibit his ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on his private life. He should be careful not to project his personal problems onto his partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, they might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

You are emotional and tend to react suddenly and excessively as soon as your sensitivity is touched. Although you feel that your independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, you are sometimes frustrated by your need to rely on your family or friends. Moreover, you do not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as your own. Likewise, you are sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if you feared that it would doom you to eternal dependency. Your ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship you had with your mother or a mother figure. Although you were dependent on them, they may have rejected you. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which your sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off your feelings of dependency, you tend to become destructive. Based on denial, your reactions are sometimes fierce, impulsive, and excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Southside often fears that she does not have the capacity to love. The world of her feelings is one of restraint and chill, with feelings kept in check by her determination to be reasonable and control her emotions. This can sometimes stand in the way of intimacy and joy, as those emotions are not always willing to obey the laws of reason.

Southside’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. Southside enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, Southside is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Southside lives in the moment and sometimes ahead of her time. Her original, warm personality charms people but sometimes baffles them. Her loves and passions always arise under extraordinary circumstances. She is more attracted by exception than by love itself. She is independent, preferring open marriage to the more conventional type, unless the latter allows for great mutual freedom. The only mate she could really be happy with is an original type able to lead a thrilling and unconventional life with her.

Southside is not always adaptable to change, and is not a faithful partner in love. Mutual respect, work, and shared interests will not be enough to keep the bond of their married life together. Moreover, their companion should be able to contribute to their social success. Although the marriage may not be an especially affectionate one at first, a profound and enduring love may emerge later.

Southside is characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

Southside considers the input from its subjectivity and emotions as dynamic, which it tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of its field of study, Southside tries to obtain perspective. It will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly hot, abstract logic, supported by drunken, concise, and immaculate reasoning. Its choice areas of study could be mathematics, philosophy, legislation, or political science. Ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could serve as “fuel for thought” for Southside.

Southside thinks carefully about what to say, but is more spontaneous than you. He is introverted and looks to others for guidance in life. Because he is uncomfortable with the conventional ways of thinking, his opinion is often unique.

Southside often finds it difficult to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, he often feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult for him to express the complexity of his inner perceptions.

Southside has a certain charm and persuasive speaking ability that make him well-suited for social interactions. However, in cases where he must compete or deal with hostility, he may be somewhat at a loss. He has a 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 he would excel.
