Baka is a diligent and hardworking individual, who is skilled at tasks that require great precision and discipline. He might struggle with pessimism about his own self-worth and try to compensate for this feeling by constantly keeping busy and devoting himself almost entirely to those close to him.

You are a person who is often plagued by a paternal complex. This means that you have trouble finding your identity, because you lacked the models or patterns that are usually helpful in structuring a personality. As a result, 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. 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 prone to experiencing a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes governing your psyche. This conflict can cause Mood swings, Fluctuating attitudes and Performance, and often a feeling that you have to make superhuman efforts in order to succeed. Your unconscious sensitive side often disapproves of your conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes and gaps which effectively sabotage your plans. In your relationships, the images you build up and project onto the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, also grates on your nerves.

You are sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps 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, tend to be rather uncompromising, and have a touchy sense of your personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though you were fighting an inner battle with your father or a father figure. 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.

Baka enjoys sharing and has a need for contact with other people. He tends to be free and uninhibited in his relations with other people, rarely allowing himself to be influenced by convention or prevailing opinion; he associates with whomever he pleases. This attitude makes his life refreshing and exciting, and he is never bored. In career terms, Baka is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where his intellectual singularity and lively wit would make him an amazing hit. He would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

You are a very sensitive person who tends to live in osmosis with your surroundings. Your individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over you, and you sometimes find it difficult to communicate your feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but your fluid inner structure and organization sometimes make it difficult for you to grasp the essence of your dreams and share them with other people. You are not at all combative, and this tends to hinder your efforts to fit into society and assert yourself productively. You are likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but your refusal to abandon your unattainable dreams is a psychological trap you have fallen into without realizing it. You must understand that by running away from your obligations and commitments, you only increase the feelings of guilt which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once you free yourself from this pernicious process, you have a great deal of potential for fulfilling yourself in the outer world, either by devoting yourself to some sort of social work or by cultivating your considerable artistic talents.

Since your personality is based on your thinking, you need intellectual stimulation in order to feel fulfilled. You are always on the move, in search of new contacts. Curious about all sorts of different subjects, you take care to inform yourself about many things. You enjoy conversation and communication and hope to be admired for your talent and wit. However, because you have a wide variety of interests, your thinking may sometimes lack discipline.

The Baka’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, it does not always avail itself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although it enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, its thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. It is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste its nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, its feelings sometimes blur its objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause it to make errors in judgment.

Baka is having trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although his bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern his self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, he is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Someone looking for the ideal love might idealize their friends and lovers, preferring to dream of their soulmate instead of making love to one. This person may be more in love with the idea of love than anything else. Their idealism may hide a fear of truly committing themselves to a relationship, and they try to intellectualize everything. Two options will seem clear to them: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Baka’s birth chart indicates that he has an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. He enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with his gaze riveted on the future, Baka is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Baka has a difficult time forming lasting relationships. They are often brief and based on convenience, as opposed to any real connection. It is not that Baka is incapable of forming attachments – they are just not very practical in nature. Responsibilities and commitments do not fit well into Baka’s lifestyle, and they are often scared of getting tied down. If they do find someone they care for, they are likely to marry them simply because they are a stabilizing force in their life.

Baka is idealistic, naive, and romantic, and the image of his loved one is bathed in the many sparkling colors of his adolescent dreams. However, the reality of living with someone will reveal some unwelcome facts. Baka’s partner may turn out to lack ambition and struggle to partner with Baka on building a secure home life and taking responsibility for the children, if Baka has them. Nostalgia for teenage pleasures may turn to depression.

You are often characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive you to seek pleasure. Your need for romantic fulfillment may compel you to marry, because you also seek 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 you had indeed achieved success. However, privately, you might be less committed to certain obligations and duties. At worst, you might deny the commitments that your optimism and expansiveness made you rush into too soon. If this were to be the case, the outward image of the couple’s success (wealth and comfort, etc.) would only be a façade which compensated for its emotional impoverishment and failure. Sooner or later, this hypocrisy might provoke a full-blown conflict. A second possibility is that a psychic incompatibility may gradually take root, pitting your romantic nature against the prerogatives of your career.

Baka is an intuitive thinker. He does not reason things out through a long, articulate, logical discourse; instead, he grabs the visions or insights that spontaneously flash into his consciousness. He thus has a form of immediate knowledge of various phenomena which is based neither on reasoning nor on any elaborate thought process or method. As a result, if he is an extrovert, he will possess an inventive, innovative spirit gifted for improvisation. If he is an introvert, his mind will be an abundant source of personal inner truths.

Baka expresses its thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. It is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, it looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Baka: In social situations, I usually try to be kind and benevolent. I exert a certain charm, know how to speak persuasively and convincingly, and am adept at smoothing the asperities of what I have to say when it is necessary. This aspect of my personality is a great advantage to me socially; however, in situations where I must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, I may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave. I have an undeniable gift for oratory which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression (as a stage or screen actor). Writing and dance, two other arts which associate expression and movement, might also be fields in which I would excel.
