Benja, you are searching for stability. You want to find a firm, unchanging structure for your life. But your efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, you are also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time you reach what you believe to be a good balance, you realize you want something entirely different. You 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.

Benja is affectionate by nature, and love plays a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to love and be loved. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself in order to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

Benja, you may be subject to mood swings, going from phases of frenzy combined with a feeling of omnipotence and exaltation to phases of apathy and inertia. During your “highs,” your behavior is vigorous and dynamic, but it is also likely to be somewhat excessive. These periods tend to be interspersed with “lows,” phases of sluggishness and inhibition, which compensate for your immense need to assert yourself as an individual. How can you find a way out of this vicious cycle which uses up so much of your energy? You would have to understand that the source of your attitudes and behavior is an unconscious desire for power. We suggest that you meditate upon power, skills, mastery, challenge, desire, and need, your brothers (or brother substitutes, such as friends, cousins, or classmates) – who are key figures – and your adversaries. This should enlighten you. Of course, once you have a clear awareness of your career ambitions and profound desires, you are sure to have plenty of energy to accomplish them.

Benja,

You have a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for you to gain access to this part of yourself. You are confident in yourself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. You sometimes need a little stimulation to get yourself rolling and take some initiative. Your optimism and inner certainty do not always drive you to give your utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills you possess are an advantage as well as a handicap. You make use of your theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for you would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Benja enjoys sharing and needs contact with others. He is free and uninhibited in his dealings with others, rarely letting himself be influenced by convention or the opinions of others; he associates with whomever he pleases. This attitude makes Benja’s life refreshing and exciting, and he is never bored. In career terms, Benja is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where his intellectual singularity and lively wit would make him an amazing hit. He would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

Benja, you have a very profound and fertile inner life and a prolific imagination, but your energy resources are not always sufficient to follow through on and accomplish your multitude of dreams. You tend to live in osmosis with your environment, and effort and action take a heavy toll on you. Usually, you understand phenomena and events intuitively, without really making any effort; so you are not in the habit of disciplining or shaping your thought processes. Like your thoughts, your personality is rather amorphous and disorganized. As a result, you may have some trouble asserting your individuality and making some personal contribution to society through your career. Your tendency to shut out reality and dream impossible dreams, like your refusal of responsibility and duty, may be a source of some difficulty for you.

Benja, a charismatic speaker and compulsive charmer, has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make him seem arrogant or smug. Benja 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, Benja likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, Benja has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. Benja enjoys displaying his generosity, but he also displays a short temper at times; Benja is easily offended. Benja’s partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to Benja and capable of enhancing Benja’s reputation.

Benja, out of either shyness or caution, hides and protects her sensitivity behind a fairly cool, aloof exterior. She is fairly conservative, respectful of tradition and convention, and likes to follow the rules. Because she needs stability to alleviate her feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, she has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. Her ties to her past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because her parents likely gave her a lot.

Because you were born with a natural inclination towards 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 your 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.

Benja 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.

Benja’s birth chart indicates that he has an emotional function that is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Benja distrusts his emotional urges and somewhat wary of his feelings, so he tries to rid himself of all partiality and get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Benja, you would be unable to settle for a mediocre emotional life with just anyone. Only someone of exception, who is brilliant and successful, strong and generous, tender and loyal, can hope to arouse your admiring affections. This person won’t be easy to find… Then, if by chance they manage to disappoint you and fail to live up to the grandiose dreams you projected on them, their lives will be full of woe. You will not grant the benefit of any doubt.

Benja, your early loves might have been disappointing. You cherished dreams of great things, but your partners turned out to be unexceptional and uninspiring. To find happiness in love, you would do well to learn to compromise and accept the other person as they really are.

Benja has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of Benja’s main purposes in life. Benja’s personal charm and magnetism give Benja nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of Benja’s well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of Benja’s desires. Due to Benja’s impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, Benja’s approach to members of the other sex may sometimes lack delicacy.

Benja may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive him to seek pleasure. His need for romantic fulfillment may compel him to marry, because he also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that he had indeed achieved success. However, privately, he might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

Benja has a great emotional ideal, full of subtlety and tenderness. However, Benja tends to be overwhelmed by Benja’s imagination and may not be selective enough when choosing a partner. Benja’s romantic and trusting nature may make Benja vulnerable. Although Benja strives to establish peaceful, uncomplicated relations, Benja sometimes experiences painful disappointments. Benja’s artistic delicacy and refinement provide Benja with a sincere love of the arts, music, and literature. Benja is likely to be a gifted poet.

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

Benja tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. His thoughts are usually structured, and his reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.

Benja,

Your behavior in relations with other people is usually kind and benevolent. You exert a certain charm, know how to speak persuasively and convincingly, and are adept at smoothing the asperities of what you have to say when it is necessary. This aspect of your personality is a great advantage to you socially; however, in situations where you must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, you may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave. You have 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 you would excel.

Benja has a lively and agile spirit. She is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences without either dogmatism or prejudice. As a result of the liveliness of her mind, she tends to have an opinion on every subject, but she does not always have the patience or perspective necessary to examine a subject and gain in-depth knowledge of it. Benja enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses herself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If she learned to control her flow of words better and elaborate her thoughts more, she might make a talented communicator. Because she is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform her ideas, she is sometimes misunderstood. Benja is often blind to the rashness of her judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around her. If she were to succeed in disciplining her mind somewhat, she would have innumerable opportunities to apply her communications skills to a great career. However, she would do well to be careful of her nerves.

Benja has a mind that is constantly hungry for knowledge and has a natural ability to learn. With effort, he could easily accumulate encyclopedic erudition. His intellectual curiosity can sometimes get the best of him, leading to him being easily distracted by a multitude of other subjects. Discipline and a conscious effort at organization will be necessary if Benja wants to deepen his learning and judgment. Once his intellectual faculties are disciplined, he has the potential to succeed in any field, including teaching, historical scholarship, advertising, writing (journalistic or literary), travel, and more: in fact, communication in any form.
