Barry Bostwick is trying to overcome his feelings of insecurity. To do so, he needs a home: a dwelling, a territory, or perhaps a safe space or setting where he can rest, and let down his systems of defense against the outer world, which he finds aggressive and hostile. He is ready to make some sacrifices in order to maintain and consolidate the structure he has chosen. True inner security, based on real knowledge of himself, his abilities, and his shortcomings, his strengths and his weaknesses would no doubt be most effective and would allow him to remain open to the varieties of experience offered by the world.
Barry Bostwick, you have a paternal complex. As a result, you have some trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you 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, 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.
Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. 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.
Barry Bostwick’s character is fairly strong-willed, and he is mindful of going about his purposes with maximum efficiency. When he relates to other people, he sometimes has trouble expressing his emotions, but he does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As he grows older, he is quite likely to come into his own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. His honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win him recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in his destiny, and his greatest accomplishments will guarantee him stability and prosperity. Although he is not especially enterprising, he will move into a high career position as soon as he feels sure of his abilities.
You are an independent thinker who values freedom and independence above all else. You have rejected the social conventions and values of your class, adopting an innovative lifestyle. Your passionate convictions sometimes cause tension in your relationships, as you are uncompromising in your beliefs. You should learn to recognize your own limitations and accept the responsibilities you have to others, or you may find yourself constantly embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of your behavior may be related to your relationship with your father or teachers in childhood and adolescence. For some reason, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way as you reject conventional values today. In every important life decision, you rely on yourself to determine the appropriate behavior and impose reasonable limits on your desires.
You are a very sensitive person who is very receptive to your surroundings. You often live in osmosis with the people and things around you, and you find it difficult to communicate your feelings to other people or to analyze your thoughts in a structured way. This may be because when you were a child, your teachers did not understand how to discipline you and you withdrew into yourself to protect yourself. As a result, you built a strong inner life that they could not invade, and you cut many of your ties to the outside world. Because you enjoyed indulging in your inner life, it may have been difficult for you to develop an objective view of reality. As a result, you often create problems for yourself that don’t really exist, and you find it difficult to share your dreams with other people. You are not at all combative, and this often hinders your efforts to fit into society and to assert yourself productively. You are more likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but your refusal to abandon your dreams makes you a psychological trap that you have fallen into without realizing it. You must understand that by running away from your obligations and commitments, you only make things worse. Once you free yourself from this negative cycle, you have a great deal of potential for fulfilling yourself in the outer world, either by dedicating yourself to some kind of social work or by cultivating your artistic talent.
A charismatic speaker and compulsive charmer, Barry Bostwick has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make 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.

Indeed, Barry has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general.

Barry Bostwick has a sensitive personality. He may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. He is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in his behavior may be explained by emotional problems he may have experienced in infancy: his mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.
Because you were born with a strong sense of individuality, you quickly developed an original and independent identity. Your first taste of liberty may have led you to challenge the education and values you received from family and class tradition, and you were able to forge a strong, original personality and philosophy. Your relationships are usually free of conflict, because you are able to reconcile your need for independence with your desire for affection. However, your partners should be open and lively people, able to keep pace with you in your rapid evolution. You have an inspired and extremely lively wit and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. You would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although you are an individualist, you have a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.
Barry Bostwick has a sexuality that is important to him, and his relationships are generally determined by his instincts. If he has a relationship that is exclusively satisfying sexually, however, he might feel frustration, because he is driven by a kind of unconscious guilt to seek fulfillment for his heart and soul as well. He tends to be a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often re-evaluates the bonds that connect him to his partners.

Although Barry Bostwick wishes to play an important role in society and in his life, his pride sometimes gets in the way. Due to his pride, he is liable to be fooled by appearances. As a result, his marriage may be disappointing or be made up of uncertainties and betrayals – unless he marries a passive person he can dominate.
Barry Bostwick is attracted to people with original or eccentric personalities. He is passionate and idealistic, and has little desire to live out his relationships according to society’s rules and customs. However, he is also attracted to people, and finds them attractive.

Barry Bostwick has a rather irrational mind and a voracious intellect, which is usually subject to the rule of his prolific imagination. Although he is likely to have flashes of intuition which may prove to be correct, his thought processes are sometimes messy and confused. His mind, which is oriented in many different directions at the same time, is ruled by his emotions and feelings. In tune with psychic and parapsychic phenomena, his thinking requires only the adjunct of structure to rise from the level of a blurry, uncertain, undifferentiated mass to that of a really significant vision with a grip on the real world.
Barry Bostwick expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. He is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, he looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
You have a structured mind and penetrating intelligence, but your thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding. This slow pace may be the consequence of some failure or humiliation during your formative years. You are fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tend to doubt in yourself and your intellectual skills despite your undeniable gifts as a thinker. You should become aware that your thought patterns and habits are the sign that you are on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give you an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort. Your mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, you are particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. Your contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career you choose, you should learn to work alone, because you tend to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. You will also have to learn to conquer your impatience, because you tend to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause you to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, you should find the courage to question your convictions.
