Ashley Sarmiento’s confidence in herself sometimes falters, and she might try to compensate for this weakness by insisting on her authority over others. With the people she is emotionally committed to, the same nagging feelings of insecurity prevent her from expressing her generosity and love fully; her extreme independence sometimes hides an inability to abandon herself and a lack of assurance.

Ashley Sarmiento,

You have a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

You are a sober and rather reserved person who may seem harsh and austere at times. You were raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety and, as a result, grew up very fast. You have acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and are rather uncompromising. You have a touchy sense of your personal dignity and worth and are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile. The psychological models you received from your father or a father figure as a result of your interaction and your own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping your relationships with the outer world and society. You may thus have been forced to compensate for this with individual determination. As a result, although you are skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes you timid and hesitant. You sometimes feel as though you are only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. You tend to be far too critical of yourself and rarely feel satisfied that you are living up to your ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead you to turn down the prominent career positions for which you are fully qualified. You are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile, and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like you.

Ashley Sarmiento 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.

Ashley Sarmiento maintains strong ties with her past, and it often seems difficult for her to open her heart to new people. Her love affairs might exist on the surface level, because her lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for her to meet partners who combine the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

Because you grew up quickly discovering your individuality, you developed a strong and original personality. You were able to challenge the education and values you received from your family and class tradition, and you developed a strong desire for liberty. Your relationships are usually free of conflict, because you are able to reconcile your need for independence with your desire for affection. However, your partners should be lively and open people, able to keep up with you in your rapid evolution. You have a lively wit and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. You would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although you are an individualist, you have a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

Although Ashley Sarmiento’s sensitive and imaginative nature can sometimes lead her to believe dreams are reality, her bubbling creativity is a source of inspiration for spiritual and creative evolution. However, her tendency to see others in a romantic light can be a challenge in a relationship.

Ashley Sarmiento is looking for the ideal love and tends to idealize her friends and lovers. A bizarre character, she may prefer to dream of her soulmate instead of making love to one; she is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. Her idealism may hide a fear of truly committing herself to a relationship; she tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to her: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Ashley Sarmiento’s birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Ashley tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Ashley Sarmiento is outwardly inhibited, but her emotional life is rough sailing. She is more comfortable with her career, where her desire to progress and her taste for power give her wings, but she scares away most men with her demands and harshness. Ashley will have to admit that her emotions cannot be repressed indefinitely.

Ashley Sarmiento is very sincere and loves whole-heartedly. Loving friendships will play a major role in her destiny. She is independent-minded and will be happier in an open relationship than in a marriage, unless this is based on great mutual freedom. However, she is likely to marry too young or on an impulse. A second relationship with a person she admires for their generous and free-thinking nature will bring her greater happiness.

Ashley Sarmiento 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. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

You are sensitive and emotional, making you especially vulnerable emotionally. You seek an ideal soulmate, but often find disillusionment. Because your rather excessive sensitivity and need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge your judgment and discernment, so you sometimes form extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners. When you meet someone, you fall under the enchantment of your dream of ideal love and cannot keep yourself from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, you yield to another of your characteristic urges and lose yourself in the individual who is so dear to you, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find yourself as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, your psyche is constructed in such a way as to make your sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases. It follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before you take on any major commitments, you should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates your intense love, for you may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Your tendency to believe in your illusions may mark you as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for you to find a different object for your affections, or a form of sublimation, because you tend to be so disappointed by your great emotional investments.

Ashley Sarmiento considers the input from her subjectivity and emotions as a source of inspiration and perspective. She tries to tune out her own thoughts in order to focus on the essence of knowledge, regardless of her field of study. She will elaborate a thought on the basis of personal experience, coupled with creative interpretation of relevant information. Her choice areas of study could be literature, art, or music. Ashley’s ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could be sources of inspiration for her.
