Amir Derakh’s psyche follows an introverted thrust. He attempts to embody and actualize his ideas and the archetypes he identifies with in his objective life.

Amir Derakh is relatively extroverted and lives an open life which is oriented towards the external world. His personal consciousness is shaped by the heat of events outside himself. He tends to adopt an objective viewpoint in order to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Amir Derakh, while contributing to important social causes or collective ideals, tends to keep his individual identity intact. For this reason, although he may become personally involved in social affairs, he is likely to resist any project he will be unable to lead himself, according to his own individual direction. He tends to identify himself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know himself through this activity.

Amir Derakh is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he sets for himself.

Amir Derakh thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominated in his psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, he was eager to participate in everything happening around him. His affections were lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, he never allowed himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

You are aware of a lack of confidence in yourself and in life. Prone to apathy, as if deprived of optimism and cheerfulness at some time, you may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which you may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, you were not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, you are unable to move yourself toward an improved, more positive disposition. You may reject any challenge that would enable you to surpass your current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of your problem, you may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to you, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.

You work harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors your own difficulty in understanding your own feelings and emotional needs. You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
