If he hopes for a more harmonious development, he will do well to realize that instincts can be tamed; they do not react positively to being trampled.

Alban Ivanov’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling his psyche. Because his sensitivity is in conflict with his determination, his attitude and performance may sometimes be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, he has the feeling he has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging his yearnings and fulfilling his ambitions. His unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of his conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage his plans. In his relationships, the images he builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, might also annoy him. He could find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

You were born into a poor family and, as a result, had to work hard from a young age to support yourself. This has taught you to be resourceful and independent, and has also given you a strong sense of values and beliefs. You have rejected the conventional lifestyle of your social class, and adopted an innovative lifestyle that is based on your own independent beliefs. However, your passionate convictions sometimes cause you trouble in your relationships, as you are a very uncompromising partner. You need to learn to recognize your own limitations, and to accept the responsibilities you have to other people, or you are liable to find yourself constantly embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of your behaviour may lie in your childhood relationship with your father or with your teachers. For some reason, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way as you now reject conventional values. In every important life decision, you must rely on yourself to develop the appropriate behaviour, and to impose limits on your own desires in relation to reality and the law.

He is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate him. Love is often a matter of luck with him.

Discipline and a conscious effort at organization will be of great help if he wants to deepen his learning and judgment.

The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to his mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. His thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. He tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, he can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although his perceptions are lively and subtle, he may display a kind of absent-mindedness, out of a fear of annoying people with his shrewdness or of fighting to assert himself. His imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
