Angel Rivas is determined to obtain a superlative grip on her emotional urges; she practices holding back her impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, she wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, she is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

Angel Rivas has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for her to gain access to this part of herself. She is confident in herself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. She sometimes needs a little stimulation to get herself rolling and take some initiative. Her optimism and inner certainty do not always drive her to give her utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills she possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. She makes use of her theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for her would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Angel Rivas is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Angel’s passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising partner. He would do well to learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of Angel’s somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in his relationship with his father or his teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, Angel may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with his father, in the same way as he now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision Angel makes as an adult, he is forced to rely on himself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits he must impose on his desires in relation to reality and the law.

Angel Rivas is winning and attractive. She has an appetite for intense emotional experiences, especially in terms of her relationships. Enjoying the power of her personal appeal, she easily controls her emotions and only rarely reveals the true depth of her feelings. Because her instincts take precedence over her sensitivity, she is capable of becoming jealous, possessive, and even rather harsh, without meaning to. More of a flirt than a voluptuary, she is attentive to desire. As a result, her love life will sometimes be casual and complicated.

Angel Rivas has a lively intellect that is agile and sensitive. However, she does not always use it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although she enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, her thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. She is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste her nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Additionally, her feelings sometimes blur her objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause her to make errors in judgment.

Angel Rivas has a sensitive personality. She may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. She is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in her behavior may be explained by emotional problems she may have experienced in infancy: her mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and your refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved and tend to forbid yourself any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. Through self-work, you can rid yourself of these phantoms. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Although Angel Rivas may keep a tight grip on her emotions, she has an appetite for intense emotional thrills and is sometimes upset by them. Feelings of insecurity may keep her from expressing her emotions, and she tends to become jealous or possessive of the person she loves. The force of her emotional drives is intense and especially evident when she has been wounded in some way in the course of a love affair, or if she feels as though someone, a friend or lover, has betrayed her. She has a tendency to be masochistic and thrive on suffering. She may abandon herself to her emotional fears and trifle with her inner vulnerability.

You are emotional and tend to react suddenly and excessively as soon as your sensitivity is touched. Although you feel that your independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, you are sometimes frustrated by your need to rely on your family or friends. Moreover, you do not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as your own. Likewise, you are sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if you feared that it would doom you to eternal dependency. Your ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship you had with your mother or a mother figure. Although you were dependent on them, they may have rejected you. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which your sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off your feelings of dependency, you sometimes tend to become destructive. Based on denial, your reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Angel Rivas has a sensitive and imaginative mind, which can lead to difficulty distinguishing dreams from reality. Although her bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it can be less helpful and positive in matters that concern her self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient in a relationship. In Angel Rivas’s view, relationships are extremely romantic and she does not always see others in the way they really are.

Angel Rivas enjoys captivating people with the elegance and ease of her expression. She is a witty and engaging flirt, an avid player of the game of love. As a result, the history of her affections is liable to be episodic, a long series of chapters about conquests or fleeting love affairs. She may carry on some love relationships by writing letters.

Angel Rivas’s birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Angel Rivas distrusts her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings, so she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Angel Rivas has a contradictory and somewhat enigmatic nature. She is both realistic and idealistic and does not always succeed in accomplishing her aspirations, though she certainly tries hard. In her relationships, she tends to be demanding without always living up to her own standards. She has a penchant for passion, although she is aware they can be painful and destructive. This contradiction makes her feel uncomfortable with herself.

Angel Rivas does not always form lasting attachments, and she finds that new loves give her a sense of self-renewal. Angel Rivas is extremely affectionate, especially verbally. She is usually attracted to people with whom she can share her ideas but will be galvanized by a person who is fleeting, elusive, or impossible to grasp. In any case, her love life will not always be simple and straightforward.

Angel Rivas is somewhat plodding but realistic and pragmatic. Because she is chiefly preoccupied with the practical aspects of things, she is especially apt to develop more efficient production concepts. Although her good judgment and common sense provide her with an excellent ability to handle the tangible world (she is certainly clever, and can quickly assess the tangible value of things), her thought processes might be relatively impervious to abstract concepts and spiritual awakenings.

Angel Rivas does not express her thoughts and ideas smoothly or easily. She tends to be subjective, seeking to know herself better through a process of introversion.

Angel Rivas often finds it difficult to communicate with others because they are oriented toward themselves. They seldom try to communicate because it is a simple pleasure and they often feel misunderstood. Additionally, it is difficult for Angel Rivas to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.

Angel Rivas has a definite taste for expression and communication. She cannot survive without giving voice to her thoughts and speaking to other people. She delights in her own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with her words. Especially attracted to anything new and original, she immediately grasps the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be, and has a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because she is fairly high strung, she may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. She may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency. Her open-mindedness offers her creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career she chooses, her personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.

Angel Rivas 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.
