Au/Ra experiences its inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by its involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Au/Ra leads a life which is open to the outside world. Au/Ra’s personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. Au/Ra is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Au/Ra participates in important social causes or collective ideals, but maintains a personal identity that resists any project that is not in line with their own individual direction. They identify with an activity with social implications and attempt to know themselves through this activity.

Au/Ra thinks, intuitives perceive, and inner aspects dominate in the psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, the individual is eager to be involved in everything that is happening. Affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, Au/Ra seeks a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, Au/Ra never allows itself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, buoyancy borders on indifference.

Au/Ra, you work hard to understand the feelings of others. However, you find it difficult to empathize with them, as you are confused by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, and may find it difficult to establish a rewarding relationship due to your need for emotional independence. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with the feelings of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might be the first to deny that others’ emotional needs exist. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious.
