Ben Wu is searching for stability. He wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life. But his efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He should become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Ben Wu was born under a new moon, when the moon and sun were in the same part of the sky. He enjoys a positive balance between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche, which contribute to the relationships with other people which make up his outer life. His parents or teachers probably gave him the type of education which was adapted to his personality. As a result, Ben Wu’s personality is basically balanced, which, of course, does not mean that his life is devoid of little asperities. Generally, the goals Ben Wu sets for himself correspond to his skills. Without giving the matter much thought, Ben Wu tends to follow prevailing trends and behaves in a conventional enough way. Ben Wu is subjective and sees the world according to his own perceptions instead of the way it really is.

Ben Wu does not always feel in tune with society’s rules and conventions. The mask of sociability most well-adapted people wear is difficult for him to assume, and it is hard for him to act out the roles expected of him as a normal member of the community. The usual social values and rewards, like money, respect, and prestige, only mildly interest him. His refusal or inability to play the social game may make it hard for him to find a job, which may have negative consequences on his financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, he sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, he may leave gaps in a job application, botch up an interview with a prospective employer, or make a big mistake when bidding for a contract. But his financial difficulties may clear up when his emotional ones do.

Ben Wu is extremely sociable. He is instinctively in tune with others, and has a need to be accepted and respected. He is tactful and diplomatic, and will sometimes swallow his personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group. He is also fond of harmony and order in artistic terms, and is sensitive and discerning. As a result, he is sometimes offended by the harsh demands of existence. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) take a central role in his life.

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

Ben Wu’s attractions are usually immediate and intense. They rise quickly to fever pitch. The story of these passions is often dramatic to excess, combining all the plot elements of a classic love tragedy: jealousy, possessiveness, agony as an erotic stimulant, etc.

Ben Wu’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of his emotional urges and somewhat wary of his feelings, he tries to rid himself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Ben Wu loves to please and charm people. He is made to play the role of the muse, the person who inspires or creates beauty and harmony. He has a fate to attract affection and protection. Nevertheless, he should outgrow his nonchalance and casualness to succeed profoundly in a relationship or in an artistic career.

Ben Wu, when it comes to romance, is sometimes indecisive. His behavior baffles his partners; a hesitation waltz in which he yields to affection and then suddenly bolts. Unfortunately, his timing is usually a little bit wrong – he may pass up or spoil a relationship which would have been extremely fulfilling. He tends to be especially attracted to people with a strong sexual aura; however, they are the type who could torment him or take advantage of his weaknesses.

You are emotive and hypersensitive, making you especially vulnerable emotionally, since you are sometimes overwhelmed by your feelings and affects. Although you seek an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom you could maintain blissful, smooth relations, you are sometimes met with disillusionment. Because your rather excessive sensitivity and your need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge your judgment and discernment, so you sometimes form extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When you meet someone, you fall under the enchantment of your dream of ideal love and cannot keep yourself from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, you yield to another of your characteristic urges and lose yourself in the individual who is so dear to you, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find yourself as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, your psyche is constructed in such a way as to make your sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before you take on any major commitments, you should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates your intense love, for you may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Your tendency to believe in your illusions may mark you as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for you to find a different object for your affections, or a form of sublimation, because you tend to be so disappointed by your great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of your imagination procure artistic refinement for you, and you love the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because your sensitivity also makes it easy for you to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties your peers are struggling with, you might also find it rewarding to commit yourself to social work.

Ben Wu was curious, skeptical, and pragmatic. He had a shrewd, inquisitorial mind. He always tried to detect the hidden mechanisms and processes behind the phenomena he observed. As a result, he had developed an ability to detect the truth behind appearances and the cause behind the effect. Although this way of thinking was based on a certain logic, and there was evidence of structure and cohesion in his deductive approach, it was not always purely intellectual. Indeed, its sources lay in a certain empiricism, in facts which had been experienced, so it was open to improvement. For this reason, its fields of application were highly diverse, although research in the hard sciences, psychology, and metaphysics seemed to be the best career choices.

Ben Wu does not express his thoughts and ideas easily. He tends to be subjective, seeking to know himself better through a process of introversion.

Ben Wu’s intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because they are turned inward. Because Ben Wu tends to be oriented toward others, he rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, Ben Wu sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult for him to express the complexity of his inner perceptions.

Ben Wu is a person who is usually kind and benevolent. He has a certain charm and is adept at speaking persuasively and convincingly. However, in situations where he must compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, Ben Wu may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave. He has 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 he would excel.
