Blake Proehl practices restraining his emotions, striving for a strong grip on his impulses. Although it is not an easy journey, he wants to be able to endure stress with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, he is aware of the importance of a solid emotional foundation in order to take effective action.

Blake Proehl is energetic and vigorous, seeking to assert his individuality in the world. He has an unconscious desire for power, but it is motivated by his own interests, not by malice. His attitudes and actions baffle those close to him, but they understand that he is simply full of energy and determined to succeed. He has a short temper, but he is able to control himself when necessary. He is prone to impulsiveness, but he is able to avoid conflict when he focuses on his goals.

Blake Proehl has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for him to gain access to this part of himself. He is confident in himself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. He sometimes needs a little stimulation to get himself rolling and take some initiative. His optimism and inner certainty do not always drive him to give his utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills he possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. He makes use of his theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for him would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Blake Proehl is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps he was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. He has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tend to be rather uncompromising, and have a touchy sense of his personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though he was fighting an inner battle with his father or a father figure. The psychological models he received from his father or a father figure as a result of his interaction and his own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping his relationships with the outer world and society. He may thus have been forced to compensate for this with individual determination. As a result, although he is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes him timid and hesitant. He sometimes feels as though he is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. He tends to be far too critical of himself and rarely feel satisfied that he is living up to his ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead him to turn down the prominent career positions for which he is fully qualified. He is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like he.

Blake Proehl tries to convince himself that he is worthy of the affection of others, but his pessimism and the taboos he places on himself keep him from developing quickly.

Blake Proehl is attractive and winning. He has an appetite for intense emotional experiences, especially in terms of his relationships. Enjoying the power of his personal appeal, he easily controls his emotions and only rarely reveals the true depth of his feelings. Because his instincts take precedence over his sensitivity, he is capable of becoming jealous, possessive, and even rather harsh, without meaning to. More of a flirt than a voluptuary, he is attentive to desire. As a result, his love life will sometimes be casual and complicated.

Blake Proehl is a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. He is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of himself and his belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. He is quite likely to be a professional success; his vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and his urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society. By old age, his good reputation and prominence may have earned him 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 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.

Although Blake Proehl often keeps a tight grip on her emotions, she has an appetite for intense emotional thrills, especially in her relationships, and is sometimes upset by them. Feelings of insecurity may keep her from expressing her emotions, and she tends at times to become jealous or possessive of the person she loves. The force of her emotional drives is intense and especially evident when she has been wounded in some way in the course of a love affair, or if she feels as though someone, a friend or lover, has betrayed her. She has a tendency to be masochistic and thrive on suffering. She may abandon herself to her emotional fears and trifle with her inner vulnerability.

Blake Proehl searches for the ideal love and tends to idealize friends and lovers. A peculiar character, you may prefer to dream of your soulmate instead of making love to one; you are more in love with the idea of love than anything else. Your idealism may hide a fear of truly committing yourself to a relationship; you try to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to you: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Blake Proehl’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.

Blake Proehl is outwardly inhibited, but his emotions are powerful and upsetting. He is usually comfortable with his career, where his desire to progress and his taste for power give him wings, but he scares away most men with his demands and harshness. He will have to admit that his emotions cannot be repressed indefinitely.

Blake Proehl is equally sensitive to both outer and inner beauty. He may arouse great love or he could become a muse and inspire great works of art. He could find happiness with a partner who knows how to awaken his more exalted emotions and can communicate with him on an artistic or spiritual plane.

You are an ardent and amorous person, and your relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, you are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, your love life may be subject to some instability. You are generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate you. Your greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although you merge your ego entirely into the couple, you are likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If your partner charms and captivates you long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with you; otherwise, you are likely to yield to your need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for you.

Midlife may be a turning point for you from this point of view. Your contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. Your behavior enables you to remain aloof, to commit yourself only halfway without consciously admitting it to yourself, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when you lose interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps you from forming stable relationships. Indeed, you are tormented by the struggle between your undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, your romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by your conviction that your partner has become an obstacle to your individual progress. Because you think of love as a restraint, you may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, you will try to deflect the love function from its natural target and use the energy and bliss it generates for other purposes, the process psychologists call sublimation. However, you are also likely to meet “the one” who inspires you to initiate a change in your behavior.

Blake Proehl is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because he sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, Blake tries to control not only his own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of his partners. Blake aspires to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning himself and yielding to the other terrifies him. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Blake is guarded and somewhat secretive, tending to be suspicious and uneasy about spontaneous intimacy. Within the privacy of the couple, Blake will not express his feelings unless he is subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of Blake’s emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, Blake is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Blake Proehl considers the input from his subjectivity and emotions as static which he tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of his field of study, he tries to obtain perspective. He will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. His choice areas of study could be mathematics, philosophy, legislation, or political science. Ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could serve as “food for thought” for him.
