Al Reynolds practices controlling his emotional urges; he practices holding back his impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, he wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, Al is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

Al Reynolds is affectionate by nature, and loves to play a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to be loved and be in a relationship. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself in order to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

You are acutely aware of the void, the vanity of existence, and the unknowable force that deconstructs you. You sometimes find yourself disoriented and deconstructed, and you often ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life. You prefer to dive deep into the depths of human experience, using your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities to the fullest. It can be a challenge for you to recognize yourself in any social or narcissistic models, or to identify with any existing roles or attitudes. This special consciousness you have is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding, and it can be a source of identity problems for you at the outset. It is not easy for you to identify with any existing social or narcissistic models, or to assert or express your own identity in a way that is striking to your contemporaries.

Al Reynolds prefers to do things in a planned way. His behavior reflects this tendency. He usually adopts relatively strict models that are based on 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.

Al Reynolds’ intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, he does not always avail himself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although he enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, his thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. He is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste his nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, his feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause him to make errors in judgment.

Al Reynolds 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.

Al Reynolds 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.

Because you were able to develop an original and independent identity early in life, you quickly developed a strong and unique personality. Your first taste of liberty may have led you to challenge the education and values you received from your family and class tradition, and you were able to forge a strong, independent philosophy. Your relationships are usually free of conflict, because you are able to reconcile your need for independence with your desire for affection. However, your partners should be open and lively people, able to keep pace with you in your rapid evolution. You have a lively and inspired wit, and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. You would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although you are an individualist, you have a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

Al Reynolds is looking 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.

Al Reynolds’ 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.

Al Reynolds, a romantic and idealistic young man, tends to stay in the background, living vicariously through his imagination. Reality is less rosy, and his human qualities and virtues as a loving, devoted companion are not always recognized. To succeed in a happy relationship, he must become aware that he is the source of the positive or negative energy he invests and that in love and in life, he will reap what he sow.

Al Reynolds is hesitant and unstable in his romantic life. He has a somewhat tumultuous love life, reaching out and then pulling back, giving and then refusing. Actually, Al is more in love with his liberty and his dreams of love than with reality. He sometimes yields to strange attractions which appear incomprehensible to him once he has recovered his senses. Only a friendly lover, who can be a loyal and understanding companion, can provide Al with complete emotional stability.

You are an intensely complex individual, full of contradictions. On the one hand, you can be detached and aloof, but on the inside you are very emotionally vulnerable. Because you sometimes feel too emotional, you often try to control your own feelings and impulses as well as those of your partners. You aspire to a deep and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of giving up yourself frightens you. This anguish can lead to extreme behavior patterns and a self-focused attitude which could damage your relationship. Because you are guarded and secretive, you tend to be suspicious and uneasy about spontaneity, although you are fascinated by sexuality. In private, you rarely express your feelings unless there is some tension involved. Life is often full of frequent crises and fights, arguments and spats which act as a sexual provocation. This emphasis on eroticism stemming from anxiety is one of the fundamental characteristics of your emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, you are likely to be attracted to stormy and complicated relationships.

Al Reynolds has a lively and agile spirit. He is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of his great mental vitality, he tends to have an opinion on every subject, but he does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth. He enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuse himself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If he learned to control his flow of words and elaborate his thoughts more, he could make a talented communicator. Because he is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform his ideas, he is sometimes misunderstood. He is often blind to the rashness of his judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around him. If he were to succeed in disciplining his mind somewhat, he would have innumerable opportunities to apply his communications skills to a great career. However, he would do well to be careful of his nerves.

However, his propensity for being distracted by a multitude of others can be a bit of a hindrance.
