Bitty Schram practices holding back 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.

Bitty Schram’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling her psyche. Because her sensitivity is in conflict with her determination, her attitude and performance may be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, she has the feeling she has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging her yearnings and fulfilling her ambitions. Her unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of her conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage her plans. In her relationships, the images she builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, also grates on her nerves. She finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Bitty Schram is affectionate by nature, and loves to play a decisive and central role in her life. She is a charmer who needs to be loved and be noticed. Aware of her personal magnetism and the power it gives her, she will make subtle changes in herself to attract positive attention. She is sophisticated and pleased to enjoy a lifestyle she sees as a consummate art.

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.

You were raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety and developed a strong spirit of self-sufficiency. You are skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but you often feel timid and hesitant. You are often too critical of yourself and seldom feel satisfied that you are living up to your ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead you to turn down the prominent career positions for which you are fully qualified. You are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile, and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like you.

Bitty Schram struggles to muster the energy to face unfamiliar situations due to her need for security. She is more or less passive and has a strong urge to take refuge in the past.

Bitty Schram enjoys sharing and has a constant need for contact with other people. She tends to be free and uninhibited in her relations with other people, rarely allowing herself to be influenced by convention or prevailing opinion; she associates with whomever she pleases. This attitude makes her life refreshing and exciting, and she is never bored. In career terms, she is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where her intellectual singularity and lively wit would make her an amazing hit. She would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

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

Lively and expressive, you have a personality which is sometimes agitated but straightforward. Unconscious feelings of insecurity compel you to act and sometimes to seek the admiration of others. As a result, you are unable to bear idleness and routine, and you are in search of perpetual excitement. Your reactions to others are highly individual and depend on the mood you are in at any given moment. A person of decision, a businessperson or an athlete, you often personify boldness and impetuosity. Your love life is liable to be fiery, as it obeys the imperatives of your desire for freedom and independence, and your need for change.

Bitty Schram maintains strong ties with her past, and it often seems difficult for her to open her heart to new people. Her love affairs might exist on the surface level, because her lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for her to meet partners who combine the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

Schram was optimistic and happy to be alive, a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. She was extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gave of herself and her belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook was the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. Schram was quite likely to be a professional success; her vision of the world was perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and her urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicited a positive reaction from society. By old age, her good reputation and prominence may have earned her fame.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely 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 emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. You may have suffered rejection in your infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect yourself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, you withdrew into yourself and developed your aloofness as a defense mechanism. When you finally let down your defenses and allow yourself to express your feelings, you tend to become impassioned and exalted. You are fairly introverted and egocentric and have a powerful sense of your own identity.

Schram has a nagging feeling of insecurity which affects her psychology and dampens her natural enthusiasm. Her need to take action and assert herself is sometimes disturbed by this gnawing fear.

Bitty Schram is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as her sensitivity is touched. Although she feels that her independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, she is sometimes frustrated by her need to rely on her family or friends. Moreover, she does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as her own. Likewise, she is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if she feared that it would doom her to eternal dependency. Her ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship she had with her mother or a mother figure. Although she was dependent on them, they may have rejected her. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which her sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off her feelings of dependency, she sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, her reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Bitty Schram 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.

The chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Bitty Schram distrusts her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings; she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

As a result of this conflict between the conscious, active, masculine principle of your psyche and the unconscious, passive, feminine principle, you are continually subject to nervous tension, which wears you out and exhausts you. Your mind and body are always feverishly active. You always tend to do too much, to become obsessed with insignificant details, or to panic when faced with the unexpected. You are likely to marry a partner who is younger than you, either chronologically or in terms of their sense of duty. But perhaps your second marriage will be more reasonable and satisfying.

Bitty Schram is dazzled by and attracted to social prominence or brilliant people. Although she may engage in quite a few adventures, she is liable to feel that her deepest desires remain unfulfilled. There is some chance that the person she cares for most will refuse to commit to her, or she may commit herself to an ambitious person who demands more than she can give.

Bitty Schram’s intellect, which is simultaneously subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience, predisposes her to a people-oriented activity. With her memory and imagination combined with her shrewdness, she would be a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.

Bitty Schram expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
