Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Tom Felton is searching for stability. He wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life. But his efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He should become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Born under a new moon (when the moon and sun were in the same part of the sky), Tom enjoys a positive balance between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche. His determination and sensitivity balance one another and work together harmoniously. His inner life contributes to the relationships with other people which make up his outer life. His parents or teachers probably gave him the type of education which was adapted to his personality.

As a result, Tom’s personality is basically balanced, which, of course, does not mean that his life is devoid of little asperities. Generally, the goals Tom sets for himself correspond to his skills. Without giving the matter much thought, he tends to follow prevailing trends and behave in a conventional enough way. He is subjective and sees the world according to his own perceptions instead of the way it really is.

Tom Felton does not always feel in tune with society’s rules and conventions. The mask of sociability most well-adapted people wear is difficult for Tom to assume, and it is hard for Tom to act out the roles expected of him as a normal member of the community. The usual social values and rewards, like money, respect, and prestige, only mildly interest Tom. Tom’s refusal or inability to play the social game may make it hard for Tom to find a job, which may have negative consequences on Tom’s financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, Tom sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, Tom may leave gaps in a job application, botch up an interview with a prospective employer, or make a big mistake when bidding for a contract. But Tom’s financial difficulties may clear up when his emotional ones do.

Tom Felton is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. His passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising partner. He would do well to learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.

The roots of his somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in his relationship with his father or his teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, he may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with his father, in the same way as he now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision he makes as an adult, he is forced to rely on himself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits he must impose on his desires in relation to reality and the law.

Tom Felton is extremely sensitive and receptive and tends to live in osmosis with his surroundings. His individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over him, and he sometimes finds it difficult to communicate his feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but his fluid inner structure and organization sometimes make it difficult for him to grasp the essence of his dreams and share them with other people. He is not at all combative, and this tends to hinder his efforts to fit into society and assert himself productively.

He is likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but his refusal to abandon his unattainable dreams is a psychological trap he has fallen into without realizing it. He must understand that by running away from his obligations and commitments, he only increases the feelings of guilt which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once he frees himself from this pernicious process, he has a great deal of potential for fulfilling himself in the outer world, either by devoting himself to some sort of social work or by cultivating his considerable artistic talents.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Because Tom Felton is fond of method and order, he usually prefers to do things according to a pre-established plan. His behavior mirrors this tendency. He will adopt relatively strict models elaborated on the basis of logical or moral reasons. He does not readily express his personal feelings or emotions and may sometimes strike others as a rigid person. However, his conscientiousness and application make him thrive in a work environment, and he tends to treat social engagements and activities as a form of duty. His natural taste for clarity, detail, and technique would make him successful as a scientific researcher or high-tech designer.

Tom Felton 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.

Tom Felton 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 are 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 you analyzed the problem, you might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

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

Love and Sensuality:

Tom Felton tries to express his affections in the most graceful and harmonious way possible. Indeed, he has an innate sense of harmony and strives for a love relationship characterized by balance and perfection. He tends to idealize both his partner and the institution of marriage. Any disillusionment he encounters in the pursuit of his ideal may be experienced as a frustration. He does not always ply his powers of seduction skillfully.

Tom Felton’s birth chart indicates 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.

Tom Felton must straddle two important principles of his personality. He is both sensitive and intelligent, as well as hypersensitive and hyperemotive, which may inspire him to try to relieve others of their suffering and carry the whole world on his shoulders. The return from his dreams to reality is always traumatic for his psyche. It will be difficult for him to find fulfillment alone; aware of this, he will seek out someone who can protect him, as well as act as a guide.

Tom Felton has high hopes and his capacity for love could be eroded if he connects with someone who is more interested in their own affairs than in ensuring the happiness of Tom’s relationship. In this situation, Tom’s charm means that he will never be short of a shoulder to cry on. A second marriage may be happier than the first.

Tom Felton has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. Tom is emotive and hypersensitive, making Tom especially vulnerable emotionally, since Tom is sometimes overwhelmed by Tom’s feelings and affects. Although Tom seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom Tom could maintain blissful, smooth relations, Tom is sometimes met with disillusionment. Because Tom’s rather excessive sensitivity and Tom’s need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge Tom’s judgment and discernment, so Tom sometimes forms extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When Tom meets someone, Tom falls under the enchantment of Tom’s dream of ideal love and cannot keep Tom from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, Tom yields to another of Tom’s characteristic urges and loses Tom in the individual who is so dear to Tom, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find Tom as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, Tom’s psyche is constructed in such a way as to make Tom’s sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before Tom takes on any major commitments, Tom should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates Tom’s intense love, for Tom may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Tom’s tendency to believe in Tom’s illusions may mark Tom as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for Tom to find a different object for Tom’s affections, or a form of sublimation, because Tom tends to be so disappointed by Tom’s great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of Tom’s imagination procure artistic refinement for Tom, and Tom loves the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because Tom’s sensitivity also makes it easy for Tom to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties Tom’s peers are struggling with, Tom might also find it rewarding to commit Tom to social work.

Mental and Intellect:

Tom Felton’s mental aptitudes make him especially good at comparing, evaluating, and weighing information. This intellectual modus operandi has enabled him to develop an innate sense of values, both artistic and ethical, as well as a remarkable ability to relate to other people. His appreciative, conciliatory attitude makes him a skillful diplomat able to untangle conflict situations deftly and with ease. In other situations, his artistic spirit is sensitive to a wide variety of harmonies.

Tom Felton tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. His thoughts are usually structured, and his reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.

You sometimes make mistakes in judgment, and your understanding of things is not always in tune with social realities or prevailing opinion. Your judgments tend to be hasty; your decisions are reckless. Moreover, you tend to overestimate your abilities and usually aim higher than might be realistic. Once an enterprise or project is underway, you may try to avoid obstacles by dodging certain duties.

Because your vision of the world differs somewhat from social realities, you should be extremely careful and scrupulous in regard to legal matters, in order to avoid any complications of that type. You are sometimes slightly dishonest in your relations; you may break promises or attempt to duck responsibility.

However, you should realize that such conduct toward other people is also a form of unconscious self-loathing. If you continue to behave in such a way, you are exposing yourself to the same lack of sincerity from your partners.
