Darryl Mayes considers consciousness to be one of the most important ideals of self. He believes that it is the source of our sense of self-worth, our sense of autonomy, and our sense of purpose.

Darryl Mayes is determined to obtain a superlative grip on his emotional urges; he practices holding back his impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, he wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, he is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

Darryl Mayes has a personality and behavior liable to 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, he 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 his nerves. He finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Darryl is affectionate by nature, and love plays a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to love and be loved. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself in order to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

Darryl Mayes has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. He is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tend 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 you have 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 you at the outset. It is not easy for you to recognize yourself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so you sometimes find yourself forced to construct and assert your own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Darryl has adaptation and sensitivity. He is able to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as well as those which demand patience and perseverance.

Darryl Mayes regards physical and mental freedom as vital to him. His youth and home may have been of the rootless, wandering type, which could have given him a taste for movement and independence. He needs to be aware that his life has a purpose and hunt for it in various belief systems, both traditional and new age. In fact, he has an unmistakable gift for philosophy. The faraway appeals to him, and travel is likely to be an important aspect of his life.

Darryl Mayes has written extensively on love and sensuality. He has a good understanding of both the physical and psychological aspects of these emotions, and his work provides valuable insight for both individuals looking to explore and enjoy these aspects of their relationships, and those looking to improve their sex lives.

Darryl Mayes has a sensitivity that sometimes overwhelm his partners, and his compassion for the other is profound. He readily sacrifices his own interest to others, to provide help and assistance. A romantic as well as an idealist, he sometimes lacks discernment in the choice of his partners. He is fairly confused and evasive and has trouble expressing his feelings clearly. Nevertheless, he is capable of devoting himself entirely to the person he love.

Darryl’s birth chart indicates 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, he is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Darryl Mayes has a conflict between the conscious, active, masculine principle of his psyche and the unconscious, passive, feminine principle. This conflict results in tension, hesitation, impressionability, vacillation, enthusiasm, despair, shyness, and passion. His love life is a jumble of baroque and eccentric affections which soon dissolve, leaving him feeling baffled and grieving. Unable to refuse when someone appeals to his compassion, he may be gobbled up or allow himself to be seduced. His happiness will depend on the one he meets, unless he frees himself through artistic, mystical, or psychic sublimation. Unfortunately, circumstances may then make married life unstable.

Darryl Mayes is always attractive and always elegant. He is very charming in social situations. Because he cannot bear to be alone and cannot live without the pleasures and comforts of love, he can become infatuated with almost anyone if he finds himself abandoned for too long. By being more discriminating about the partners he chooses, he can avoid regrets.

Darryl Mayes has a good balance between his need for movement and his tendency to be sedentary. He is just as likely to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as to those which demand patience and perseverance.

Darryl has a strong mental and intellect. He is able to think on his feet and come up with strategies when he needs to.

Darryl Mayes has a rather irrational mind and a voracious intellect, which is usually subject to the rule of his prolific imagination. Although he is likely to have flashes of intuition which may prove to be correct, his thought processes are sometimes messy and confused. His mind, which is oriented in many different directions at the same time, is ruled by his emotions and feelings. In tune with psychic and parapsychic phenomena, his thinking requires only the adjunct of structure to rise from the level of a blurry, uncertain, undifferentiated mass to that of a really significant vision with a grip on the real world.

Darryl 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.

Darryl has an undeniable gift for oratory which could be applied to a communications-related occupation or to artistic expression (as a stage or screen actor). Writing and dance, two other arts which associate expression and movement, might also be fields in which he would excel.
