Bob Stanley sensed that he had instincts which might be dangerous, and so he tried to restrain and control them. As a result, he may adopt a fairly ascetic lifestyle. His attitude, which denied the vital importance of the most archaic and darkest forces within him, was not entirely innocuous. If he hoped for a more harmonious development, he would do well to realize that instincts can be tamed; they do not react positively to being trampled.

Bob Stanley’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling his psyche. Because his sensitivity is in conflict with his determination, his attitude and performance may sometimes be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, Bob has the feeling he has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging his yearnings and fulfilling his ambitions. His unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of his conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage his plans. In Bob’s relationships, the images he builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, might also annoy him.

Bob Stanley was sober and reserved and may even strike people as rigid and austere at times. Perhaps he was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety as a child, and, as a result, became an adult a little too fast. In any case, he quickly acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and a strong sense of his personal dignity and worth. At work, he was skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but his lack of self confidence and personal assurance hindered his decision-making skills. Although he would deserve a prominent executive position, he might refuse any that are offered due to his fear of being in the limelight. He was aware that early success was often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who are patient, which, in his case, was true. The psychological mechanisms described above were probably the result of a paternal complex. In childhood, his identity may have been too strongly attached to that of his father or a father figure, for one of the following reasons:- the bond with his father was too close,- his father was absent and/or idealized,- his father was too strict, etc.In any case, this psychological particularity can act either as a handicap or as an opportunity for the individual to overcome yourself. It will result in two groups of opposite but complementary reactions which will rule his behavior all his life:- hypersensitivity or insensitivity- intense life wish or discomfort with life- obsession or renunciation- skepticism or fanaticism- asceticism or lust- jealousy or indifference- effort or lazinessThe so-called “Saturnian” phases (at age 7, 14, 21, 28 or 29, and 35 years) will be transitional periods that give him an opportunity to resolve this complex in real life.

In relation to others, socially and privately, he likes to build stable relationships and is not especially fond of change.

An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for his inner self to be detached from this past life, and he sometimes has trouble reconciling the image he has of himself as an adult with the one he acquired back then.

Bob Stanley

He delights in his own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with his words. Especially attracted to anything new and original, he immediately grasps the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be and has a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it. Because he is fairly high strung, he may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. He may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency. His open-mindedness gives him creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career he chooses, his personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.

Bob Stanley has a great deal of intuition but sometimes has problems organizing his thought processes and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to his mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. His thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. He tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, he can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although his perceptions are lively and subtle, he may display a kind of absent-mindedness, out of a fear of annoying people with his shrewdness or of fighting to assert himself. His imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
