What does Barbara Eden’s psychology tell us about them?

Barbara Eden is a serious, steadfast individual who tries to stay grounded. Her ambitions are strong, and she will always be seeking a higher social position. She sometimes adopts a strategy of solitude and introversion.

Barbara Eden has a paternal complex. As a result, she has trouble finding her identity. Perhaps her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she 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, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with her evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself, and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

At the moment of your birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. You thus enjoy a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche, between your determination and your routines, between your drive for self-assertion and your receptivity, your ideal and your sensitivity.

Barbara Eden is affectionate by nature, and loves to play a decisive and central role in her life. She is a charmer who needs to be loved and is aware of her personal magnetism. She will make subtle changes in herself in order to attract positive attention. She is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle she sees as a consummate art.

Barbara Eden is sensitive and receptive and her individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over her. She often finds it difficult to communicate her feelings to other people and this tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition. However, due to her lack of inner structure and organization, it is difficult for her to grasp the essence of her dreams and share them with other people. Barbara Eden is not at all combative and this hinders her efforts to fit into society and assert herself productively. Her tendency to prefer fantasy to reality and her refusal to abandon her unattainable dreams is a psychological trap she has fallen into without realizing it. Barbara Eden must understand that by escaping from her obligations and commitments, she only increases the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once she free herself from this pernicious process, she has a great deal of potential for fulfilling herself in the outer world, either by devoting herself to the community or by cultivating her considerable artistic talents.

Barbara Eden is usually cool and distant in demeanor, but when faced with a situation where she might be forced to express her feelings, she represses them and avoids social situations. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. Barbara Eden is capable of plunging all her energy into her career, seeking social recognition through her achievements.

Barbara Eden 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.

Barbara Eden is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find her generous almost to a fault! She gives of herself and her resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when she is self-focused. She reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, her everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, she senses a conflict between her social life and her family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill herself in both spheres at the same time. Her attitude toward her private life may inhibit her ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on her private life. She should be careful not to project her personal problems onto her partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, they might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

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 emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. You may have suffered rejection in your infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect yourself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, you withdrew into yourself and developed your aloofness as a defense mechanism. When you finally let down your defenses and allow yourself to express your feelings, you tend to become impassioned and exalted. You are fairly introverted and egocentric and have a powerful sense of your own identity.

Barbara Eden felt insecure about her worthiness of others’ affection and tried to gain approval by showing that she was worthy. Nonetheless, her pessimism remained, and the severe taboos she unconsciously placed on herself sometimes kept her from developing quickly.

You are very emotional and tend to react quickly and excessively whenever your sensitivity is touched. Although you believe that your independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are important values, you can sometimes be frustrated by your need to rely on your family or friends. Moreover, you don’t always grant the freedom of others the same respect that you give to yourself. Likewise, you can be angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if you fear that it will doom you to eternal dependency. Your ambivalent behavior, full of sharp 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 more likely to form. To avoid being dependent, you sometimes become destructive. Based on denial, your reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Barbara Eden was having a difficult time distinguishing dreams from reality. Although her imagination could be an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tended to be less helpful and positive in matters that concerned earning a decent living out in the real world. In a relationship, Barbara was extremely romantic and did not always see others the way they really were. She had elegant tastes and art and beauty were one of her chief pleasures in life.

Barbara Eden has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate she imagines for herself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between her splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. She should be careful not to confuse her romantic ideal with reality and become aware that her tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from herself.

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

Although you have a remarkable sense of organization and taste for work, as well as undeniable human qualities, you doubt your capacity for emotional happiness. A deeper glimpse of your soul reveals that you hide a great sensitivity behind your ambition and tend to repress your feelings. To you, they seem to be a treacherous terrain which is best avoided. You will have to understand that one cannot neglect an entire aspect of one’s personality with impunity; there is always a heavy psychological toll to pay. No matter how hard you try to compensate for your emotional frustrations with a brilliant career, you must know that nothing can make up for a lack of self-love and acceptance.

Barbara Eden is an attractive and brilliant woman who is skilled in the art of relationships. She attracts both social success and admirers, and may find happiness with a partner who shares her tastes and who is willing to support her in her quest for social fulfillment.

Barbara Eden has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. She is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information she will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, she sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.

Barbara Eden expresses her thoughts and ideas smoothly and easily. She is subjective, seeking to know herself better through a process of extroversion.

Barbara Eden felt misunderstood. Moreover, it seemed difficult to her to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.

You have a strong sense of personal identity and a deep well of self-confidence. You are highly analytical and understand complex concepts quickly. However, your thought processes can be slow due to the experience of failure or humiliation in your past. You tend to be inhibited and pessimistic, doubting your ability to think critically and understand complex matters. However, your intelligence and analytical skills are the result of years of hard work and you are well-suited to a career in the sciences, mathematics, or engineering. In terms of your contribution to society, your lasting impact will likely be greatest in the field of knowledge and expertise. However, you should be aware that you need to work harder to overcome your tendency to be impatient and to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. You should also develop greater self-confidence, because you may be too respectful of time-honored traditions. Instead, you should be willing to question your own convictions in order to achieve greater understanding.

Barbara Eden is attracted to anything new and original, and she 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 also has an open-mindedness that gives her creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations.
