Barbara Russell-Sharpe strives to maintain emotional self-control; she practices restraining 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.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe has a paternal complex, which makes it difficult for her to find her identity. 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 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.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe is sensitive and receptive, living in osmosis with her surroundings. Her individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over her, and she often finds it difficult to communicate her feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but 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 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 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 Russell-Sharpe generally tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. She tends to give the best of herself in difficult situations which require crucial choices.

In relation to others, socially and privately, she likes to build stable relationships and is not especially fond of change. Her warmth gives her a great deal of ease when meeting people, as clients (for business purposes), but her close relations also benefit from this affection and her ability to express her feelings naturally and openly.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe has a lively, agile, and sensitive intellect. However, she does not always avail herself of 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.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe maintains strong ties with her past, and it often seems difficult for her to open her heart to new people.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe is optimistic and happy to be alive. She is a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. She is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of herself and her belongings unstintingly.

Barbara is quite likely to be a professional success; her vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and her urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society. By old age, her good reputation and prominence may have earned her fame.

Although Barbara Russell-Sharpe is pragmatic and relatively realistic, she is sometimes tormented by an insidious feeling of insecurity which interferes with her ability to grasp reality.

Barbara Russell-Sharpe finds it challenging to find an ideal partner, but she would find a solitary or single life unbearable. On the other hand, her willingness to compromise may cause her to end up with a partner who is too austere or too serious and who smothers her sensitivity.

You are hypersensitive and tend to relive the anxieties, apprehensions, and romantic absolutes of your first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. You are exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. You will not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. You are sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to her. You usually hide your emotional reactions or do not even allow them to reach the level of your consciousness, in an effort to protect your sensitivity, which you see as your weak point. You are fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, you will disguise your strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside you, and you feel unworthy of the love which is lavished on you. This psychological prohibition which rules over all of your desires and affects should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, your fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of your romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if you want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify yourself emotionally, the defense mechanisms you have elaborated to make yourself inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled. Any profound relationship will also require that you learn how to forget yourself occasionally in the other.
