Al Foster 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 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.

You are an individual who is capable of great things, but who has had difficulty finding an identity due to the absence of a father figure during your childhood. As a result, you might have developed a paternal complex in order to fill the role of father figure. This complex can be helpful in confronting difficulties in life, but it can also become a hindrance to your growth. You use psychological defense mechanisms to protect yourself and sometimes find it difficult to take action or assert yourself. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed towards yourself, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself harshly, and sometimes punish yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Al Foster 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.

Within the privacy of the couple, Al will not express his feelings unless he is subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation.

As a result, Al is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

You have a penetrating intelligence and a structured mind, but your thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding. This slow pace may be the consequence of some failure or humiliation during your formative years. You are fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tend to doubt in yourself and your intellectual skills despite your undeniable gifts as a thinker. You should become aware that your thought patterns and habits are the sign that you are on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give you an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort. Your mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, you are particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. Your contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career you choose, you should learn to work alone, because you tend to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. You will also have to learn to conquer your impatience, because you tend to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause you to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, you should find the courage to question your convictions.
