Barrett Carnahan is fairly individualistic. Although he sometimes mingles with groups for their competitive atmosphere, he will rarely join in them wholeheartedly, preferring to work on his own projects independently. A lack of confidence in himself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. His lack of self-esteem may also sometimes inhibit the full expression of his generosity and love.

Barrett Carnahan has a paternal complex, which causes him some trouble finding his identity. Because he lacked a father figure during his childhood, he was forced to develop his own system to protect himself. This system was very useful to him as a child, but it has now settled into a pattern that inhibits his growth. He has developed psychological defense mechanisms and crutches that were once helpful, but they now encumber his mind. As a result, in some situations, he is difficult to assert himself, and he often remains an awkward or passive observer. Because his authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, he will build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Barrett Carnahan is vigorous and energetic, and has an immense need to assert his individuality. His attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power.

He is lively, alert, and determined, but he is too easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit his power. He has a short temper and must learn to control his impulsiveness, which might expose him to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Barrett Carnahan has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for him, he tends to think of himself as the center of the universe, an attitude which those close to him do not always appreciate. Although he is quite likely to succeed in his ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, his lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose him to some danger. His exaggerated optimism could create difficulties by causing him to make errors in judgment.

A charismatic speaker and compulsive charmer, Barrett Carnahan has a powerful personal magnetism which sometimes makes him seem arrogant or smug. He cares a great deal about his reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around him. Fond of social events and parties, Barrett enjoys being the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, Barrett has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. He enjoys displaying his generosity, but he also displays a short temper at times; he is easily offended. His partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to him and capable of enhancing his reputation.

Barrett Carnahan has a lively and curious intelligence, the very opposite of empty rhetoric and studiousness. He is agile and adaptable and can not only analyze difficult situations objectively but also demonstrate a profound comprehension when faced with a psychological problem.

Although you may appear cold and distant, you are actually very 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 any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. Through self-work, you can rid yourself of these phantoms. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Barrett Carnahan tries to express his affections in the most graceful and harmonious way possible. Indeed, he has an innate sense of harmony and strives for a love relationship characterized by balance and perfection. He tends to idealize both his partner and the institution of marriage. Any disillusionment he encounters in the pursuit of his ideal may be experienced as a frustration. He does not always ply his powers of seduction skillfully.

Barrett Carnahan’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably.

Barrett Carnahan is prideful and strives to get ahead in the world. He would be unable to bear an ordinary position for himself and his family. He has dynamic social ambitions, which he would prefer be shared by potential partners. He is likely to find himself in a relationship with a brave and devoted person. But a gap between his aspirations and reality could be the main source of frustration in his life.

Barrett Carnahan’s view of love and his partner is distorted by the filter of his dreams and ideals. He goes from disillusionment to disappointment, becoming infatuated with unavailable people or getting involved with weak and unreliable characters. His youth will therefore be an emotionally unstable period, full of conflict, breakups, and abandonment. Maturity should help him to resolve the inner conflict that’s responsible for these disappointments. If he can see and accept his partner as they really are, he will be able to revive the love he needs to ensure his emotional wellness.

Barrett Carnahan is a mental aptitude that makes him especially good at comparing, evaluating, and weighing information. This intellectual modus operandi has enabled him to develop an innate sense of values, both artistic and ethical, as well as a remarkable ability to relate to other people.

Barrett Carnahan has a lively and agile spirit, but he tends to apply his mental abilities in a somewhat haphazard and disorderly way. He is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of either dogmatism or prejudice. His extremely lively mind leads him to have an opinion on every subject. Although he enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses others and himself with witty remarks, his conversations could collapse into argument and conflict. Because he is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform his ideas, he is sometimes misunderstood. He is often blind to the rashness of his judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around him. Actually, his overriding need to assert himself as an individual sometimes defeats discussion and prevents him from listening to the other person fairly. But if he were to succeed in disciplining his mind somewhat, he would have innumerable opportunities to apply his communications skills to a great career. Furthermore, he should be careful of his nerves, which are fairly high-strung. Any physical fitness activity would be beneficial; an Eastern discipline such as yoga or Tai-chi-chuan could teach him how to relax and improve control of his nervous and mental energies.
