Emily Dobson experiences her inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by her involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Because Emily Dobson is a social being oriented toward other people, her personal interests often mingle with those of her associates or those of the group to which she belongs. She is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. Her commitments to other people are of paramount importance to her personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for her to make decisions alone. If she wants to achieve inner equilibrium, she must behave in such a way that her actions yield benefits to others as well as herself.

While Emily Dobson is attracted to interpersonal activities, her significant need for inner security may stand in the way of her overtures to others. Since Emily is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, she seeks tight bonds with others. She unconsciously needs their psychological support in her quest for herself. Were Emily to evaluate her psychological development, she would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Emily Dobson has a tendency to identify with others. She forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, she enjoys being seen and appreciate popularity and recognition. Solitude bores her. Her life and personal relations are in sync with her friendships and outer events. Most often, she shares the opinion of others.

Sentimental and emotional, Emily Dobson lives in a world which is in continual contact with her dreams and subconscious. She cannot live without love, and, like water which flows into and takes on the shape of the vessel which contains it, she is always ready to submerge herself in another person. Stirred by forces she does not control, she may be aroused by passions which are impervious to the restraints of reason and logic. She is an emotive creature in harmony with the flow of her feelings, impulses, and urges.

The numerous contradictions and tensions which are a recurrent feature of Emily Dobson’s astral theme balance each other out and endow her with a stable, well-tempered character. Indeed, they are especially likely to protect her from unsolvable frustrations and, in terms of reality, will enable her to acquire a certain social and professional success without too much effort on her part. At that point, she must be careful not to take on too many responsibilities. Her confidence in her ability to accomplish things may make her spread herself too thin.
