Bobby Slayton tries to control his instincts, but they are always there, conspiring against him. If he wants a peaceful life, he will have to learn to work with these powerful forces.

Bobby Slayton has a paternal complex. He might have trouble finding his identity because his father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during his childhood. This caused Bobby to lack the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because Bobby lacked a sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, he was forced to protect himself against negative influences and find his own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to Bobby as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with his evolution.

Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber Bobby’s mind or inhibit his developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for Bobby to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because his authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. Bobby judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Bobby should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Bobby Slayton has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. He is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with his “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of himself, Bobby sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of the life instinct and feels an imperious need to cope with it. This special consciousness he has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for him at the outset. It is not easy for Bobby to recognize himself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so he sometimes find himself forced to construct and assert his own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Bobby Slayton is a sensitive and human-like individual. He is sociable and deeply devoted to others, having been greatly influenced by his mother or a mother-figure. Bobby still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the foundation for his reveries, for his extreme sensitivity, and for habits which may be slow to break. However, Bobby thrives in the company of others, being fond of security and routine. It can be difficult for Bobby to adjust to unfamiliar situations, but he is fiercely loyal to those he trusts.

Bobby Slayton is optimistic and happy to be alive. He is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. Bobby is extremely kind-hearted himself and gives of himself and his wealth unstintingly. His bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between his desires and reality.

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

Although Bobby Slayton’s sensitivity and irrepressible imagination sometimes cause him trouble distinguishing dreams from reality, his bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative and spiritual evolution. Although his romanticism can be a source of inspiration for relationships, it can be less helpful and positive when it comes to his self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient.

Bobby Slayton has a sensual and affectionate nature which is sensitive to physical attraction. This type of sensitivity, combined with his productive urges, may be expressed in an artistic form. As for his feelings, they are usually slow to take root. But once he is conquered by love, he forms a deep and lasting bond. Although he is loyal, he may also display a tendency to be somewhat possessive.

Bobby Slayton was born with an emotional function that is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. He enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with his gaze riveted on the future, Bobby is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Bobby Slayton has a contradictory character and is difficult to resist when it comes to people he is interested in romantically. He is liable to choose someone unsuitable, uncommitted, or fickle, and parenting may be fulfilling for him. As he becomes more peaceful, realistic, and consistent, his family life will come to the forefront. If he has children, he will nurture them as a symbol of his own fulfillment.

Bobby Slayton’s emotions are fleeting and transitory, and he is extremely curious about sexuality. As a partner in a relationship, he manages to obtain what he wants without committing himself and always succeeds in being forgiven for his mistakes. His companion will no doubt be a devoted person.

Bobby Slayton has a lively wit which gives him great agility and scope and a broad field of consciousness which enlivens his curiosity and makes him love variety and change. His mind is alert and his speech is full of verve, humor, and sometimes impudence. These abilities are great resources in communication, discussion, and debate. He is a storehouse of information and ideas of every kind and delights in manipulating words and concepts, discovering new things, and sharpening his memory for trivial facts. This mental agitation could sometimes make him scattered, however, or lacking in coherence and discipline.

Bobby Slayton 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.

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

Bobby Slayton has a great deal of intuition, but sometimes he has problems organizing his thoughts 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.
