Aga Khan IV seems to be resigned to his fate, including his insecurity. Actually, he is fairly introverted and withdrawn, trying to make sense out of his inner confusion and fathom his inner depths.

Aga Khan IV was born under a new moon (when the moon and sun were in the same part of the sky), and 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, his personality is basically balanced, which, of course, does not mean that his life is devoid of little asperities. Generally, the goals he sets for himself correspond to his skills. Without giving the matter much thought, he tends to follow prevailing trends and behaves in a conventional enough way. He is subjective and sees the world according to his own perceptions instead of the way it really is.

Aga Khan IV is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps he was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. He has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tend to be rather uncompromising, and have a touchy sense of his personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though he was fighting an inner battle with his father or a father figure. The psychological models he received from his father or a father figure as a result of his interaction and his own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping his relationships with the outer world and society. He may thus have been forced to compensate for this with individual determination. As a result, although he is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes him timid and hesitant. He sometimes feels as though he is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. He tends to be far too critical of himself and rarely feel satisfied that he is living up to his ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead him to turn down the prominent career positions for which he is fully qualified. He is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like him.

Aga Khan IV is an intensely sensitive and receptive person who often lives in a state of osmosis with the people and things around her. Her individuality practically vanishes in the sea of sensations and impressions that constantly wash over her, and it can be difficult for her to communicate her feelings to other people. This flood of emotion is both a source of inspiration and intuition for her, but her fluid inner structure and organization can make it difficult for her to grasp the essence of her dreams and share them with others. She is not at all combative, and this tends to hinder her efforts to fit into society and assert herself productively. She is likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but her refusal to abandon her dreams is a psychological trap she has fallen into without realizing it. She must understand that by running away from her obligations and commitments, she only increases the feelings of guilt which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once she frees herself from this pernicious process, she has a great deal of potential for fulfilling herself in the outer world, either by devoting herself to some sort of social work or by cultivating her considerable artistic talents.

Aga Khan IV is physically and mentally free. He enjoys movement and independence, and finds the appeal of the faraway to be intoxicating. He is likely to travel for pleasure and education.

Aga Khan IV has a sensitive nature. Although he may sometimes have trouble controlling his emotional reactions, they are nevertheless a source of vital energy for a constructive passion and may make an extremely positive contribution to his career. In relations with other people, he is quite friendly; he willingly reaches out to people and knows how to listen to their desires and their problems.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved and tend to forbid yourself emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. It should be easy for you to rid yourself of these phantoms through self-work. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes and great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Aga Khan IV feels resentment when he has to impose limitations on himself. He sometimes tries to dodge obligations and commitments because obstacles and hindrances in his life depress him. He often broods about the frustrations in his life and has a fairly pessimistic vision of society and its possibilities.

Ag Khan IV was very sensitive and had a very imaginative mind. Although it gave him a lot of inspiration to be creative and spiritual, it was less helpful and positive when it came to his self-assertion as a responsible and self-sufficient person in a relationship. In fact, he was very romantic and tended to see others the way he wanted them to be, rather than the way they really were.

Aga Khan IV looks for the ideal love and tends to idealize his friends and lovers. A bizarre character, he may prefer to dream of his soulmate instead of making love to one; he is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. His idealism may hide a fear of truly committing himself to a relationship; he tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to him: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Aga Khan IV’s birth chart indicates a strong emotional function which is usually expressed impulsively and without consideration for others. Although he distrusts his emotional impulses, he is usually able to express himself fully and openly.

Aga Khan IV thinks and behaves freely. He has an imperious need to express himself, to be on the move, and to externalize his energy. When he does decide to commit himself, he will likely accept marriage, because legal validity is important to him. No doubt he will choose a companion who shares his taste for liberty and new horizons.

Aga Khan IV is equally sensitive to both outer and inner beauty. He may arouse great love or he could become a muse and inspire great works of art. He could find happiness with a partner who knows how to awaken his more exalted emotions and can communicate with him on an artistic or spiritual plane.

You are a passionate lover who is constantly engaged in a quest for the ideal love. You are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner, and your love life may be subject to some instability. You are generally attracted to people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and who amaze and fascinate you. Your greatest contradictions surface when you establish an intimate relationship. Although you merge your ego entirely into the couple, you are likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If your partner charms and captivates you long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with you; otherwise, you are likely to yield to your need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person.

From the outside, you seem to be detached and aloof, but on the inside you are an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because you sometimes feel vulnerable emotionally, you try to control not only your own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of your partners. You aspire to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning yourself and yielding to the other terrifies you. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because you are guarded and somewhat secretive, you tend to be suspicious and are especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although you are fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, you will not express your feelings unless you are subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of your emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, you are likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Aga Khan IV considers the input from his subjectivity and emotions as fluid which he tries to tune into to get a feel for the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of his field of study, he tries to get perspective. He will elaborate a thought on the basis of subjective, emotional logic, supported by impassioned, concise, and messy reasoning. His 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 him.

Aga Khan IV 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.

Aga Khan IV has a mind that is constantly seeking knowledge. With effort, he could learn almost anything. However, because of his curiosity, he sometimes gets distracted and struggles to focus on one subject. He needs to be disciplined in order to learn efficiently and effectively. If he wants to achieve anything in life, he will need to be good at communication.
