Boris Vallejo experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Boris Vallejo often listens to his intuition and subjectivity, preferring to live inside his inner world. He is apt to listen to his thoughts, feelings, and private opinions rather than consider other people’s opinions and logic.

Boris Vallejo tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations so that he can develop his personal identity freely. He is psychologically self-centered and remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum in order to derive his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Boris Vallejo is a person with a strong dynamic personality and a great ability to adapt to reality. He is also endowed with the idealism and energy of one element and the practical resources and sensuality of the other, which makes him deeply rooted in reality while retaining a remarkable ability to set high goals and accomplish them. However, if he struggles to get in touch with his deepest emotions, he might have a somewhat cold, crude vision of the world.

Although you may not necessarily notice the fact about yourself because you are so strongly engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, you sometimes lack sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on yourself and your life. You may be puzzled by your troubled relations with others. You must make an effort to detach yourself from your personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, you are likely to find yourself under stress or pressure because you did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. You may also experience dissatisfaction in your intimate relationships because you might struggle to get in sync with others. You give little time or respect to anyone you see as too “intellectual,” because you resist adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs you the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for you and you tend to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of yourself – and this plays a lot of tricks on you.

You work hard to understand the feelings of others, but find yourself struggling to understand your own. You see emotions as a foreign territory, filled with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with them would only complicate matters, so you may appear to be cold or unapproachable. It might be difficult to build lasting relationships with others, as you seek out individuals who are solely focused on your needs. If you could accept and understand your own emotions, you would be better equipped to understand the emotions of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might find it difficult to let others close. You might resist admitting that you need help, and so your dependency is unconscious. It’s seen as a threat, so it’s repressed. In fact, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making tentative forays into the emotional world, because your loneliness and fear are so overwhelming.
