Cole LaBrant practices restraining his emotional impulses, striving for control in order to be able to withstand strain. Although it is not an easy journey, he wants to be able to build endurance and stamina in order to take action effectively. He is acutely aware of the need for a strong foundation in order to achieve anything – this is something he strives for.

Cole LaBrant has a paternal complex. He may have trouble finding his identity because his father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during his childhood. Cole may 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. As a result, Cole 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 Cole as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with Cole’s evolution. Cole’s psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber his mind or inhibit his developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for Cole to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because Cole’s authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. Cole judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Cole should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Cole LaBrant has a personality and behavior that can 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 be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, Cole 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 his 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, also grates on Cole’s nerves. He finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Cole LaBrant is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. His passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising partner. He would do well to learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships. The roots of his somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in his relationship with his father or his teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, he may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with his father, in the same way as he now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision he makes as an adult, he is forced to rely on himself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits he must impose on his desires in relation to reality and the law.

Cole LaBrant is 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, he is 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 him to recognize himself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so he sometimes finds himself forced to construct and assert his own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Cole LaBrant is winning and attractive. 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.

Cole LaBrant has a lively and curious intelligence, the very opposite of empty rhetoric and studiousness. He is agile and adaptable and can not only analyze difficult situations objectively but also demonstrate a profound comprehension when faced with a psychological problem.

Cole LaBrant has a sensitive nature. Although he may sometimes have trouble controlling his emotional reactions, they are nevertheless a source of vital energy for a constructive passion and may make an extremely positive contribution to his career. In relations with other people, Cole is quite friendly; he willingly reaches out to people and knows how to listen to their desires and their problems.

Cole LaBrant had always been a dreamer. He was hypersensitive to the slightest nuance of stimuli, and his imagination was so fertile it was easy to confuse dreams with reality. Although his imagination could be an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tended to be less helpful and positive in matters that concerned earning a decent living out in the real world. When it came to relationships, Cole was extremely romantic. He didn’t always see others the way they really were, and he had elegant tastes and a love of art and beauty. One of his chief pleasures in life was experiencing beauty in all forms.

Cole LaBrant has a sexuality that is important to him, and his relationships are usually determined by his instincts. If he has a relationship that is exclusively satisfying sexually, however, he might feel frustration, because he is driven by a kind of unconscious guilt to seek fulfillment for his heart and soul as well. He tends to be a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often re-evaluates the bonds that connect him to his partners.

Cole LaBrant has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of his emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule his sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

Cole LaBrant’s birth chart indicates that he has an emotional function which 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, Cole is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Cole LaBrant seems more likely to achieve success than to have emotional happiness. He is very ambitious and liable to sacrifice a pleasant lover to a socially useful and prominent person. In this case, his partner may turn out to be more preoccupied with their own glory than with him. At that point, he may work out his frustrations and emotional misadventures by surpassing their success with his own.

Cole LaBrant is an innocent romantic who sometimes tends to live his life on the level of dreams rather than reality. He is fairly flexible in relation to feelings and emotions, and his character may change according to the tide of influences he receives. He may become dependent on the person he loves. Nurturing family could be one of his chief purposes in life.

Cole LaBrant has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of his main purposes in life. His personal charm and magnetism give him nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of his well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to his impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to members of the other sex may sometimes lack delicacy.

Cole LaBrant is characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive him to seek pleasure. His need for romantic fulfillment may compel him to marry, because he also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that he had indeed achieved success. However, privately, he might be less committed to certain obligations and duties. At worst, he might deny the commitments that his optimism and expansiveness made him rush into too soon. If this were to be the case, the outward image of the couple’s success (wealth and comfort, etc.) would only be a façade which compensated for its emotional impoverishment and failure. Sooner or later, this hypocrisy might provoke a full-blown conflict. A second possibility is that a psychic incompatibility may gradually take root, pitting his romantic nature against the prerogatives of his career.

Cole LaBrant has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. He is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information he will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, he sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.

Cole LaBrant 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.

Cole LaBrant is highly expressive and communication-oriented. He loves to express his thoughts and talk to others, and finds great value in new technology and philosophy. He is fairly high-strung, however, and has trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long. This inconsistency may be a challenge in any career, but it is particularly problematic in teaching, communications, and advertising, where creativity and progress are key.
