Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Dacre Montgomery seems passive and more or less resigned to his fate, including his insecurity. Actually, Dacre Montgomery is fairly introverted and withdrawn, trying to make sense out of his inner confusion and fathom his inner depths.

Dacre Montgomery is extremely vigorous and energetic and has an immense need to assert his individuality. His attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power. They puzzle the people close to him, who cannot understand whether his behavior is the result of pure selfishness or merely of an excess of energy. He is lively, alert, and determined, but he is too easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit his power. He has a short temper and must learn to control his impulsiveness, which might expose him to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Dacre Montgomery has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for Dacre, they tend to think of themselves as the center of the universe, an attitude which those close to them do not always appreciate. Although Dacre is quite likely to succeed in their ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, their lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose them to some danger. Their exaggerated optimism could create difficulties by causing them to make errors in judgment.

Dacre Montgomery is sober and rather reserved and may even strike people as harsh and austere at times. Perhaps Dacre was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. Dacre has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tends to be rather uncompromising, and has a touchy sense of Dacre’s personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though Dacre is fighting an inner battle with Dacre’s father or a father figure. The psychological models Dacre received from Dacre’s father or a father figure as a result of Dacre’s interaction and Dacre’s own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping Dacre’s relationships with the outer world and society. Dacre may thus have been forced to compensate for this lack with individual determination.

As a result, although Dacre is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes Dacre timid and hesitant. Dacre sometimes feels as though Dacre is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. Dacre tends to be far too critical of Dacre and rarely feels satisfied that Dacre is living up to Dacre’s ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead Dacre to turn down the prominent career positions for which Dacre is fully qualified. Dacre is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like Dacre.

Dacre Montgomery’s complex and sometimes rather extremist personality is rooted in an instinctual drive which dwarfs mere rationalism. Dacre Montgomery finds the dark side of existence alluring and is attracted to mystery and the occult. Dacre Montgomery delightedly immerses himself in the depths of human experience, stretching his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual resources to their maximum.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Mild and sensitive, Dacre Montgomery is deeply human. He is sociable and sincerely devoted to others. His mother or a mother-figure had a strong influence on his psyche, and his childhood was an important time in his life. He still identifies with vivid childhood memories; they are the basis for his reveries, for his extreme sensitivity, and for habits which he may be slow to break. However, he will thrive in the shelter of a family setting, soothed by the presence of a spouse and children. He is fond of security and routine; being somewhat impressionable and anxious, he may have trouble adjusting to situations which are unfamiliar.

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

Dacre Montgomery 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. His 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 them, they 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, he sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, his reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Dacre Montgomery is extremely sensitive and has an irrepressible imagination, which sometimes leads to trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although Dacre’s bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern Dacre’s self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, Dacre is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Love and Sensuality:

Dacre Montgomery’s attractions are usually immediate and intense. They rise quickly to fever pitch. The story of these passions is often dramatic to excess, combining all the plot elements of a classic love tragedy: jealousy, possessiveness, agony as an erotic stimulant, etc.

Dacre Montgomery’s birth chart indicates a somewhat introverted emotional function which is influenced by the cultural values traditional to their family and social class. Because they do not always trust their emotional urges and reactions, they generally prefer to hang back and acquire some perspective before committing themselves emotionally.

Dacre Montgomery’s emotional involvement might be the source of some dissatisfaction for Dacre Montgomery. The usual romantic behavior and the lifestyle values prevailing in this area are not really appropriate for Dacre Montgomery. As a result, Dacre Montgomery seeks few intimate emotional relationships or contacts. Dacre Montgomery tends to stay in the background and fulfill Dacre Montgomery’s emotional needs by sublimating. Dacre Montgomery might not attain full romantic satisfaction until Dacre Montgomery reaches middle age.

Naive in appearance but complicated underneath, Dacre Montgomery is a blend of strength and weakness. The force of his emotions is often incompatible with his great sensitivity, which makes his behavior baffling to those close to him. His family ties are quite strong and may have hindered his personal development. Emotionally, he is especially attracted to strong individuals – the serious, silent type. However, they must be able to understand him and protect him from himself and others. Love and his children, if he chooses to have them, will become the center of his life, so it is important that he chooses the right person to be his life partner.

Dacre Montgomery will have a strong sexual aura and considerable sway over other people, but this does not always imply love. Dacre Montgomery’s feelings tend to be mysterious; for example, Dacre Montgomery may derive erotic fulfillment from anguish. Dacre Montgomery is attracted to sensual and complicated partners who draw Dacre Montgomery into tormented love affairs. A power struggle, or perhaps even a confrontation, may prove to be necessary in relationships where storms and recriminations will probably be inevitable.

Cautious and reserved, Dacre Montgomery is sometimes unwilling to open himself to others if he is not sure of being accepted. He will always hang back somewhat from his emotional urges, parceling out his expressions of affection, because he has learned – sometimes at his expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For Dacre, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when he is in love, he remains fairly circumspect. When he finds himself attracted to a partner, he privately engages in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether he is likely to be able to share his life and future with them. As a result of his sensitivity, Dacre has a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich his existence and make it pleasant. He could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

Mental and Intellect:

Curious, skeptical, and pragmatic, Dacre Montgomery has a shrewd, inquisitorial mind. He always tries to detect the hidden mechanisms and processes behind the phenomena he observes. As a result, he has developed an ability to detect the truth behind appearances and the cause behind the effect. Although this way of thinking is based on a certain logic, and there is evidence of structure and cohesion in Dacre’s deductive approach, it is not always purely intellectual. Indeed, its sources lie in a certain empiricism, in facts which have been experienced, so it is open to improvement. For this reason, its fields of application are highly diverse, although research in the hard sciences, psychology, and metaphysics seem to be the best career choices.

Dacre expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. He is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, he looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
