Abe Cunningham searches 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 would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Abe Cunningham does not always feel in tune with society’s rules and conventions. The mask of sociability most well-adapted people wear is difficult for Abe to assume, and it is hard for Abe 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 Abe. Abe’s refusal or inability to play the social game may make it hard for him to find a job, which may have negative consequences on his financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, Abe sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, Abe 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 his financial difficulties may clear up when his emotional ones do.

Abe Cunningham has a profound and fertile inner life and a prolific imagination, but his energy resources are not always sufficient to follow through on and accomplish his multitude of dreams. He tends to live in osmosis with his environment, and effort and action take a heavy toll on him. Usually, he understands phenomena and events intuitively, without really making any effort; so he is not in the habit of disciplining or shaping his thought processes. Like his thoughts, his personality is rather amorphous and disorganized. As a result of this lack of structure, he may have some trouble asserting his individuality and making some personal contribution to society through his career. His tendency to shut out reality and dream impossible dreams, like his refusal of responsibility and duty, may be a source of some difficulty for him.

Abe Cunningham generally tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. He tends to give the best of himself in difficult situations which require crucial choices. His ability to concentrate and his gift for solving problems by deductive reasoning are his chief resources in crisis situations or at turning points in his life.

Abe Cunningham is a blunt and straightforward man. He is loyal to those he trusts and is quick to take action in defense of those he cares for. His childhood was spent in the rough and tumble of the city streets and he has learned to rely on his own strength and quick reactions. He is unabashedly aggressive and has a strong sense of self-reliance. Abe is not the type to shy away from a challenge, and he is comfortable in any environment – whether it be the hustle and bustle of the city or the isolation of the wilderness. He is fiercely independent and is not easily swayed by others, which can make him difficult to negotiate with.

Abe Cunningham 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.

Abe Cunningham is fairly introverted and egocentric, and has a powerful sense of his own identity. He often withdraws into himself to protect himself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, and, as a result, lacks the emotional intimacy which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. When he finally allows himself to express his feelings, he often becomes impassioned and exalted.

Abe Cunningham tends to limit the scope of his activities, and sometimes must struggle to muster the energy to face unfamiliar situations. He is more or less passive and has a strong urge to take refuge in the past.

Abe Cunningham is sensitive and imaginative, and sometimes he has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although his bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern his self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, Abe is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Abe Cunningham is a complicated person. His sensitivity and emotions are often in conflict with his instincts, causing him to be a fairly complicated relationship partner. His behavior can strike others as mysterious or baffling, as he can switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of his life, and his relationships are most often motivated by his desires. However, due to his unconscious inner battle, Abe seldom succeeds in reconciling and fulfilling his emotional and sexual needs. Passion may overwhelm him and drag him into situations he cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

Abe Cunningham is fairly shy, reserved, and discreet when it comes to matters of the heart. Even in intimate moments, he remains modest and does not always readily express his feelings. He is sensitive and giving, wishing to be of service to those he loves. He would do well to trust that he deserves to be made as happy as he makes his partners.

Abe Cunningham’s birth chart indicates that he is usually careful and reasonable in his emotional expression. He distrusts his emotional urges, and is somewhat wary of his feelings. He tries to rid himself of partiality and get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

According to the aforegoing, it appears that Abe Cunningham is more or less torn between different tendencies in his character. An inner conflict exists between his desire to shine and his need for attachment, between his social ambitions and his longings for security, between his natural selfishness and his altruism. As a result, Abe Cunningham is likely to become attached to a prominent person he can be proud of. His own social position may disappoint him, but the satisfaction he derives from his loved ones or his children, should he choose to have them, will make up for his feeling he has lived vicariously.

Abe Cunningham does not especially enjoy wasting his precious time on matters of the heart and tends to seek out immediate and uncomplicated satisfactions. If he does marry, he will choose a discreet and devoted person who will allow him to preserve his independence.

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

Abe Cunningham has an intellect that is both subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience. With his memory and imagination combined with his shrewdness, Abe would be a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.

Abe Cunningham expresses his thoughts and ideas carefully, but with a relative lack of spontaneity. He is rather introverted and looks inside himself for the solutions to the problems he encounters in life. Because he tends to mistrust customary thought patterns, his opinion is usually highly personal.

Abe Cunningham felt misunderstood. He thought it was difficult to communicate the complexity of his inner perceptions.

Abe Cunningham has a lively and agile spirit. He tends to apply his mental abilities in a somewhat haphazard and disorderly way. Abe is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of either dogmatism or prejudice. His extremely lively mind leads him to have an opinion on every subject. Although he enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses others and himself with witty remarks, his conversations could collapse into argument and conflict. Because Abe is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform his ideas, he is sometimes misunderstood. Abe is often blind to the rashness of his judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around him. Actually, Abe’s overriding need to assert himself as an individual sometimes defeats discussion and prevents him from listening to the other person fairly. But if Abe were to succeed in disciplining his mind somewhat, he would have innumerable opportunities to apply his communications skills to a great career. Moreover, he should be careful of his nerves, which are fairly high-strung. Any physical fitness activity would be beneficial; an Eastern discipline such as yoga or Tai-chi-chuan could teach him how to relax and improve control of his nervous and mental energies.
