What does Alex Shelley’s psychology tell us about them?

Alex Shelley needs others in order to structure herself. She intuitively senses this need and seeks a balance between her individual ambitions and need to give to others and be loved and recognized in return, although it sometimes eludes her. Marriage and friendship could be realms to which she is especially devoted, but they may also prove to be a source of conflict and disillusion.

You have a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes 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.

You may be subject to mood swings, going from phases of frenzy combined with a feeling of omnipotence and exaltation to phases of apathy and inertia. During your “highs,” your behavior is vigorous and dynamic, but it is also likely to be somewhat excessive. These periods tend to be interspersed with “lows,” phases of sluggishness and inhibition, which compensate for your immense need to assert yourself as an individual. How can you find a way out of this vicious cycle which uses up so much of your energy? You would have to understand that the source of your attitudes and behavior is an unconscious desire for power. We suggest that you meditate upon power, skills, mastery, challenge, desire, and need, your brothers (or brother substitutes, such as friends, cousins, or classmates) – who are key figures – and your adversaries. This should enlighten you. Of course, once you have a clear awareness of your career ambitions and profound desires, you are sure to have plenty of energy to accomplish them.

Alex Shelley is not always in tune with the social rules and conventions. It is hard for him 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 him. His 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, Alex sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, he 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.

You have a sober, reserved demeanor. You may come across as harsh and austere to some people, but you were raised in an environment of rigorous sobriety and self-sufficiency. You have acquired a spirit of self-reliance and tend to be uncompromising in your pursuits. You have a touchy sense of your personal dignity and worth, and it’s almost as though you are fighting an inner battle with your father or a father figure. The psychological models you received from your father or a father figure as a result of your interaction and your own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping your relationships with the outer world and society. As a result, you may have been forced to compensate for this lack with individual determination. You are skilled, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but you sometimes feel timid and hesitant. You may feel as though you are only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. You are far too critical of yourself, and you rarely feel satisfied that you are living up to your ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead you to turn down the prominent career positions for which you are fully qualified. You are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile, and that you must be patient and persistent in order to reap the rewards.

Alex Shelley’s intellect is sometimes haunted by disturbing philosophical anguishes and a need for security. As a result, his adaptation to life and surroundings is somewhat complicated. Certain inhibitions may sometimes inhibit his intellectual activity.

You are an individualist who values freedom and independence above all else. You have rejected the conventional ways of life of your social class, and have adopted an innovative lifestyle. Your passionate convictions sometimes create conflicts with your partners, as you may be uncompromising in your beliefs. You would do well to learn to recognize your own limitations, and to accept the responsibilities you have to other people. The roots of your behavior may be found in your relationship with your father or teachers when you were young. For one reason or another, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father. In every important life decision, you must rely on yourself to develop the appropriate behavior, and to impose limits on your desires in relation to reality and the law.

Alex Shelley is extremely sociable and in tune with others. A need to be accepted and respected makes her tactful and diplomatic; in fact, she will sometimes swallow her personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group. She is also fond of harmony and order in artistic terms; she is sensitive and discerning, and will avoid anything crude and vulgar. As a result, she is sometimes offended by the harsh demands of existence. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) take a central role in her life.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and your 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. You may have suffered rejection in your infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect yourself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, you withdrew into yourself and developed your aloofness as a defense mechanism. When you finally let down your defenses and allow yourself to express your feelings, you tend to become impassioned and exalted. You are fairly introverted and egocentric and have a powerful sense of your own identity.

Alex Shelley was nervous as she entered the room. She had never been in this situation before, and she wasn’t sure how people would react. She was also worried that she might not be able to live up to everyone’s expectations.

Alex Shelley is a person who is very interested in sexuality. This is an important part of who she is, and it is what drives her relationships. If she is in a relationship that is exclusively sexual, she often feels frustrated, because she wants more from her partners. She is driven by a kind of unconscious guilt, and she often re-evaluates the bonds that connect her to her partners. She is a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often seeks new and more intense sexual experiences.

Alex Shelley has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of her emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule her sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

Alex Shelley’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings, she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Alex Shelley is understanding and knows how to empathize and get whatever she wants without even asking. Her artistic nature requires refined and elegant surroundings and she enjoys the social whirl. In a relationship, she requires perfect harmony of feeling. Only a scrumptious person who is attentive, admirative, and perfectly understanding will be able to fulfill her.

A happy-go-lucky wanderer, Alex Shelley often sees the grass as being greener elsewhere, including in terms of her relationships. She will no doubt end up marrying the person who is most devoted to her. Tender and faithful, they will leave her free to live her life as she wishes, while protecting her or lovingly raising her children.

Alex Shelley is somewhat plodding but realistic and pragmatic. Because she is chiefly preoccupied with the practical aspects of things, she is especially apt to develop more efficient production concepts. Although her good judgment and common sense provide her with an excellent ability to handle the tangible world (she is certainly clever, and can quickly assess the tangible value of things), her thought processes might be relatively impervious to abstract concepts and spiritual awakenings.

Alex Shelley expresses her thoughts and ideas carefully, but with a relative lack of spontaneity. She is rather introverted and looks inside herself for the solutions to the problems she encounters in life. Because she tends to mistrust customary thought patterns, her opinion is usually highly personal.

Alex Shelley feels misunderstood and complex.
