Amy West is a talented syncretist. She is able to see the link between heterogeneous and diverse elements which do not appear to be related in the least. She can bring about surprising reconciliation, create unexpected bonds, combine beliefs which seem mutually incompatible. Her imaginative powers also flow from the division in her psyche and are evidenced by inspirations, visions, and abilities which exceed the context of logic and reasoning. She allows herself to be guided by irrational phenomena like foreshadowing or premonitions, which well up from the depths of her being. She is more of a medium than an intuitive, because intuition requires a clear consciousness of reality. Amy is borne along by currents and tides of knowledge and lives in symbiosis with forces which overwhelm her. In fact, it is because of this relative passivity that she is more or less a medium, because she wishes merely to perceive what surrounds her; she has no wish to impose her will. Although this attitude endows her with great potential for productivity, it may also become dangerous, if she finds herself overpowered by forces she can never totally control. She tends to perceive things as undifferentiated; she does not always see the world as an organized, structured, hierarchical entity. Instead, she is sensitive to energy flows, to invisible forces which she perceptions and tries to interpret. Her consciousness knows no bounds, and she does not feel confined by either space or time. But the image of the infinite imprinted on her imagination has a tendency to manifest itself with a lack of definition, in most of her thoughts and acts. In relation to other people, she usually demonstrates warmth and humanism. She is a fairly pleasant companion, although her sensitivity can be annoying at times. She tends to identify with her friends to a great degree, instead of remaining apart and empathetic. In fact, she is capable of losing herself in another person at times. She should take time to reflect upon the quality of what she bestows on others and on whom she bestows it. She would doubtless come to the conclusion that her devotion is motivated by guilt feelings; her giving is a way of escaping from herself, and her broad tolerance sometimes merely hides a weak character. Her basic aptitude for compassion could inspire her to relieve human misery, either privately or professionally. Hospital or prison work would not frighten her, because she understands them as closed environments which are open in terms of the inner adventures and journeys they house. Inner adventures are one thing she understands. In her ideal, she feels capable of easing the worst

The following key words capture the essence of her character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension: Sensitivity – Emotionalism – Imagination – Pliancy – Eccentricity – Humility and reserve – Savings and thrift – Idealism – Obstinacy – Intuition – Premonition. Because she is intuitive, impressionable, and inclined to be romantic, she will luxuriate in the feeling of things long before she actually possesses them. However, her hypersensitivity exposes her to negative emotions as well as positive ones. She is capable of energy and effort in her professional life, but in other areas she might lack determination. Be sure that her taste for mystery, intuition, philosophy, and imagination do not obscure the demands of the real world. In short, she might want to be careful to moderate her romantic tendencies.

Amy West was born on the day before the new moon. She is said to be of the “balsamic moon” type, which means that she is spirituallyistic and has a generous humanitarian ideal. She is sometimes sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual ambition, but she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. She fervently hopes the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, she is likely to seize every resource placed at her disposal-physical effort, money (if she has it), speech, her writings, and her poetic or artistic talents. However, she should be wary of her unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for her to devote herself to her mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express her philosophy and free her conscience.
