Christina Tessman examines consciousness and the ideal of self in her book, “The Ideal of Self: A Philosophical Investigation.”

Christina Tessman needs others in order to structure herself. She intuitively senses this need and seeks a balance between her individual ambitions and need to give to others and be loved and recognized in return, although it sometimes eludes her. Marriage and friendship could be realms to which she is especially devoted, but they may also prove to be a source of conflict and disillusion.

Christina Tessman has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding her identity. Perhaps her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she might have lacked a particular 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, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure.

Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with her evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself, and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Christina Tessman has an immense need to assert her individuality. Her attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power, which incites her to rush into action despite the frequent threat of risk and danger. Because she has very little control over her energy and impulses, she sometimes injures herself bodily or starts arguments without really having meant to do so. She has a short temper and would do well to learn to control her recklessness, which exposes her to a great deal of unnecessary conflict and adversity. She is also likely to start projects which are not really appropriate to her, only to be forced to quit soon after. Before she makes any important decision, she must learn to stop and ask herself if what she is about to do is really positive for her.

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

Christina Tessman has a good balance between her need for movement and her tendency to be sedentary. She is just as likely to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as to those which demand patience and perseverance.

Christina Tessman is an eloquent speaker and compulsive charmer. She has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make her seem arrogant or smug. She cares a great deal about her reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around her. Fond of social events and parties, she likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, she has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. She enjoys displaying her generosity, but she also displays a short temper at times; she is easily offended. Her partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to her and capable of enhancing her reputation.

Christina 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.

Christina Tessman is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find her generous almost to a fault! She gives of herself and her resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when she is self-focused. She reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and is prone to misjudge. As a result, her everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, she senses a conflict between her social life and her family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill herself in both spheres at the same time. Her attitude toward her private life may inhibit her ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on her private life. She should be careful not to project her personal problems onto her partner. If, instead, she analyzes the problem together, she could find opportunities to resolve it together.

Christina Tessman has a good balance between her need for movement and her tendency to be sedentary. She is just as likely to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as to those which demand patience and perseverance. Christina Tessman also has a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

Christina Tessman has a sensitivity and emotions which sometimes conflict with her instincts. This inner discord makes her a fairly complicated relationship partner, and her behavior sometimes strikes others as mysterious or baffling. She is liable to switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of her life, and her relationships are most often motivated by her desires. Nevertheless, due to her unconscious inner battle, she does not often succeed in reconciling and fulfilling her emotional and sexual needs. Due to the strength of her instincts, passion may overwhelm her and drag her into situations she cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

Christina Tessman writes about love and sensuality in her book, “The Art of Touch.”

Christina Tessman is looking for the ideal love and tends to idealize her friends and lovers. A bizarre character, she may prefer to dream of her soulmate instead of making love to one; she is more in love with the idea of love than anything else. Her idealism may hide a fear of truly committing herself to a relationship; she tries to intellectualize everything. In time, two options will seem clear to her: an amorous friendship based on shared ideas and intellectual exchange, or an open relationship, free of all constraints except mutual respect.

Christina Tessman’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, she is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Although Christina Tessman hopes to play an important role in society and in her life, in her relationships her pride sometimes barges in uninvited. Due to her pride, she is liable to be fooled by appearances. As a result, her marriage may be disappointing or be made up of uncertainties and betrayals – unless she marries a passive person she can dominate.

Christina Tessman is equally sensitive to both outer and inner beauty. She may arouse great love or she could become a muse and inspire great works of art. She could find happiness with a partner who knows how to awaken her more exalted emotions and can communicate with her on an artistic or spiritual plane.

Christina Tessman has an ardent and amorous character, and her relationships with the other sex are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, she is often more in love with the idea of love than with her partners. As a result, her love life may be subject to some instability. She is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate her. Love is often a matter of luck with her. Even when a relationship falls apart, she does not see the experience as a failure or a tragedy; instead, she seems to learn valuable lessons from her mistakes. Psychologically, her emotion contributes positively and efficiently to her evolution. From another standpoint, her acute sensitivity predisposes her to original and subtle tastes; she is so receptive to beauty and attached to the concepts of truth and balance that they may all combine to yield remarkable creative potential.

Christina Tessman has a good balance between her need for movement and her tendency to be sedentary. She is just as likely to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as to those which demand patience and perseverance. From the outside, she seems to be detached and aloof, but on the inside she is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because she sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, she tries to control not only her own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of her partners. She aspires to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning herself and yielding to the other terrifies her. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because she is guarded and somewhat secretive, she tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although she is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, she will not express her feelings unless she 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 her emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, she is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Christina Tessman has a strong mental and intellect.

Christina Tessman is a flexible individual, and her intellectual faculties draw on sudden flashes of pure intuition as well as logical, rational thought. She has progressive, inventive, and sometimes utopian ideas; they usually relate to human or social problems. She always strives to be in the vanguard, creating a better world for the future.

Christina 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.

Christina Tessman has a lively and agile spirit. She is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of her great mental vitality, she tends to have an opinion on every subject, but she does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth.

She enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses herself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If she learned to control her flow of words and elaborate her thoughts more, she could make a talented communicator. Because she is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform her ideas, she is sometimes misunderstood.

She is often blind to the rashness of her judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around her. If she were to succeed in disciplining her mind somewhat, she would have innumerable opportunities to apply her communications skills to a great career. However, she would do well to be careful of her nerves.
