Amanda Steele is patient. She is fond of routine, ritual, and any other events or ceremonies which mark the passage of time and the seasons. She tries to be as pragmatic as possible and unconsciously senses that her relationship with material things will be the best foundation for her self-development and individuation. As a result, she is attached to her possessions and will make every effort to cling to them.

Amanda Steele is vigorous and energetic and has an immense need to assert her individuality. Her attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power. She puzzles the people close to her, who cannot understand whether her behavior is the result of pure selfishness or merely of an excess of energy. She is lively, alert, and determined, but she is too easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit her power. She has a short temper and must learn to control her impulsiveness, which might expose her to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Amanda Steele has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for her, she tends to think of herself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to her do not always appreciate. Although she is quite likely to succeed in her ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, her lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose her to some danger. Her exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for her by causing her to make errors in judgment.

You are an extremely sensitive person who is easily overwhelmed by your surroundings. Because you grew up without the support of a positive role model, you have developed a strong inner life in order to compensate. This has made it difficult for you to connect with other people on a deeper level, and you often find it difficult to express your feelings to them. This may be because as a child you were punished for not following the rules of your teachers, and as a result you withdrew into yourself to protect yourself. This created a strong sense of self-reliance and independence which you have continued to rely on even as an adult. Because you enjoy indulging in your imagination, it can be difficult for you to see the world objectively. As a result, you often create problems for yourself that don’t actually exist. Although your creativity is a source of inspiration and intuition, your lack of organization makes it difficult for you to understand your dreams and share them with other people. You are not at all confrontational, which can hinder your ability to assert yourself in the world. You are more likely to prefer fantasy over reality, but you are also reluctant to abandon your dreams no matter how unrealistic they may seem. You must understand that by running away from your responsibilities, you only make things worse. Once you free yourself from this cycle, you have a great deal of potential for fulfilling yourself in the outer world.

Amanda Steele may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond.

You are an individual who is full of contradictions. You sometimes feel vulnerable emotionally, so you try to control your own feelings and urges as well as those of your partners. You aspire to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning yourself and yielding to the other terrifies you. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because you are guarded and somewhat secretive, you tend to be suspicious and are especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy. However, you are fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, you will not express your feelings unless you are subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of your emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, you are likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

The ruler of your life, your intellect is in full command when it comes to your goals. You are able to think critically and come up with creative solutions, but you may sometimes be blinded by your own convictions.

You have a lively and agile spirit, but you tend to apply your mental abilities in a somewhat haphazard and disorderly way. You are curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of either dogmatism or prejudice. Your extremely lively mind leads you to have an opinion on every subject. Although you enjoy manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses others and yourself with witty remarks, your conversations could collapse into argument and conflict. Because you are often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform your ideas, you are sometimes misunderstood. You are often blind to the rashness of your judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around you. Actually, your overriding need to assert yourself as an individual sometimes defeats discussion and prevents you from listening to the other person fairly. But if you were to succeed in disciplining your mind somewhat, you would have innumerable opportunities to apply your communications skills to a great career. Furthermore, you should be careful of your nerves, which are fairly high-strung. Any physical fitness activity would be beneficial; an Eastern discipline such as yoga or Tai-chi-chuan could teach you how to relax and improve control of your nervous and mental energies.

She sometimes makes mistakes in judgment, and her understanding of things is not always in tune with social realities or prevailing opinion. Her judgments tend to be hasty; her decisions are reckless. Moreover, she tends to overestimate her abilities and usually aims higher than might be realistic. Once an enterprise or project is underway, she may try to avoid obstacles by dodging certain duties. Because her vision of the world differs somewhat from social realities, she should be extremely careful and scrupulous in regard to legal matters, in order to avoid any complications of that type. She is sometimes slightly dishonest in her relations; she may break promises or attempt to duck responsibility. However, she should realize that such conduct toward other people is also a form of unconscious self-loathing. If she continues to behave in such a way, she is exposing herself to the same lack of sincerity from her partners.

Amanda Steele has a great deal of intuition, but sometimes has problems organizing her thought processes and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to her mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. Her thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. She tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, she can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although her perceptions are lively and subtle, she may display a kind of absent-mindedness out of a fear of annoying people with her shrewdness or of fighting to assert herself. Her 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.
