Althea Heart’s psyche follows an introverted flow. She knows herself and attempts to develop her inner resources to their maximum potential.

Althea Heart is a social being oriented toward other people, whose personal interests often mingle with those of her associates or those of the group to which she belongs. She is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. Her commitments to other people are of paramount importance to her personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for her to make decisions alone. If she wants to achieve inner equilibrium, she must behave in such a way that her actions yield benefits to others as well as herself.

Althea Heart is attracted to interpersonal activities, but her significant need for inner security may stand in the way of her overtures to others. Since she is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, she seeks tight bonds with others. She unconsciously needs their psychological support in her quest for herself. Were she to evaluate her psychological development, she would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Althea Heart feels deeply attached to her family. She remembers her childhood fondly and cherishes the memories it brings. Mentally, Althea is a seeker and a questioner who enjoys solving the mysteries of life. Heritage, tradition, and the origins of her family and ancestry might become hobbies or even a profession. She is very conscious of the legacy she has received from her forebears and is eager to enrich it.

Althea Heart perceives, thinks, and feels things deeply. She is intuitive and open-minded, and her optimistic and enthusiastic nature makes her eager to participate in everything around her. Her affections are lively and spontaneous, but she may be more intellectual than sensual. With a partner, Althea Heart would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Although she can be light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, Althea Heart never allows herself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, her buoyancy borders on indifference.

Althea Heart struggles to find a sense of balance between the physical world and her own imagination. She often idealizes the world around her and is detached from practical concerns. This can lead her to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to her own survival needs until an emergency arises. Althea also has a very impractical nature, which allows her to see life’s potential in a limitless way. She may choose to pursue a spiritual quest to overcome the limitations of the physical world.
