What does Alfa’s psychology tell us about them?

Alfa seems passive and more or less resigned to her fate, including her insecurity. Actually, she is fairly introverted and withdrawn, trying to make sense out of her inner confusion and fathom her inner depths.

Alfa has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding their identity. Perhaps their father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during their childhood, which deprived them of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because they 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, they were forced to protect themselves against negative influences and find their own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to them as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with their evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber their mind or inhibit their developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for them to assert themselves, and they tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because their authoritarian urges are mainly directed at themselves rather than others, they sometimes feel guilty about their behavior. They judge themselves severely, and sometimes punishes themselves by setting difficult tasks for themselves. Gradually, they should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

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

Alfa is lively and expressive, with a personality which is sometimes agitated but straightforward. Unconscious feelings of insecurity compel her to act and sometimes to seek the admiration of others. As a result, she is unable to bear idleness and routine, and she is in search of perpetual excitement. Her reactions to others are highly individual and depend on the mood she is in at any given moment. A person of decision, a businessperson or an athlete, she often personifies boldness and impetuosity. Her love life is liable to be fiery, as it obeys the imperatives of her desire for freedom and independence, and her need for change.

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

Alfa has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate she imagines for herself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between her splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. She should be careful not to confuse her romantic ideal with reality and become aware that her tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from herself.

Alfa’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, she is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Alfa is an ambiguous being, constantly switching between bold and shy behavior. It has an inner conflict that it is unaware of, and this causes it to behave in contradictory ways. This can be problematic when it comes to relationships, as it is difficult to know how to deal with it. If not managed carefully, Alfa might make an inappropriate match – with someone who is too overbearing or individualistic, or someone who is weak and lacking in character.

Alfa is driven by a need for admiration, and their romantic involvement is sometimes dictated by their vanity or even by their pride. They need a partner they can be proud of, who will respect and adore them. Nevertheless, their marriage or long-term relationship will be very rewarding, potentially complementing their rise on the social or career ladder.

Alfa has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. She is emotive and hypersensitive, making her especially vulnerable emotionally, since she is sometimes overwhelmed by her feelings and affects. Although she seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom she could maintain blissful, smooth relations, she is sometimes met with disillusionment. Because her rather excessive sensitivity and her need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge her judgment and discernment, so she sometimes forms extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When she meets someone, she falls under the enchantment of her dream of ideal love and cannot keep herself from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, she yields to another of her characteristic urges and loses herself in the individual who is so dear to her, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find herself as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, her psyche is constructed in such a way as to make her sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before she takes on any major commitments, she should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates her intense love, for she may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Her tendency to believe in her illusions may mark her as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for her to find a different object for her affections, or a form of sublimation, because she tends to be so disappointed by her great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of her imagination procure artistic refinement for her, and she loves the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because her sensitivity also makes it easy for her to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties her peers are struggling with, she might also find it rewarding to commit herself to social work.

Alfa has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. It is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information it will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, it sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.
