Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Isaak Presley is searching for stability; he wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life. But his efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Isaak Presley’s personality and behavior are 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.

Isaak Presley is sober and reserved and may even strike people as rigid and austere at times. Perhaps Isaak was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety as a child, and, as a result, became an adult a little too fast. In any case, Isaak quickly acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and a strong sense of personal dignity and worth. At work, Isaak is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but Isaak’s lack of self confidence and personal assurance hinder Isaak’s decision-making skills. Although Isaak would deserve a prominent executive position, Isaak might refuse any that are offered due to Isaak’s fear of being in the limelight. Isaak is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who are patient, which, in Isaak’s case, is true. The psychological mechanisms described above are probably the result of a paternal complex. In childhood, Isaak’s identity may have been too strongly attached to that of Isaak’s father or a father figure, for one of the following reasons:
– the bond with Isaak’s father was too close,
– Isaak’s father was absent and/or idealized,
– Isaak’s father was too strict, etc.
In any case, this psychological particularity can act either as a handicap or as an opportunity for the individual to overcome Isaak. It will result in two groups of opposite but complementary reactions which will rule Isaak’s behavior all Isaak’s life:
– hypersensitivity or insensitivity
– intense life wish or discomfort with life
– obsession or renunciation
– skepticism or fanaticism
– asceticism or lust
– jealousy or indifference
– effort or laziness
The so-called “Saturnian” phases (at age 7, 14, 21, 28 or 29, and 35 years) will be transitional periods that give Isaak an opportunity to resolve this complex in real life.

Isaak Presley’s intellect is sometimes haunted by disturbing philosophical anguishes and a need for security. As a result, his adaptation to life and surroundings is somewhat complicated. Certain inhibitions may sometimes inhibit his intellectual activity.

Isaak Presley enjoys sharing and has a constant need for contact with other people. He tends to be free and uninhibited in his relations with other people, rarely allowing himself to be influenced by convention or prevailing opinion; he associates with whomever he pleases. This attitude makes his life refreshing and exciting, and he is never bored. In career terms, he is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where his intellectual singularity and lively wit would make him an amazing hit. He would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Because Isaak Presley is fond of method and order, he usually prefers to do things according to a pre-established plan. His behavior mirrors this tendency. He will adopt relatively strict models elaborated on the basis of logical or moral reasons. He does not readily express his personal feelings or emotions and may sometimes strike others as a rigid person. However, his conscientiousness and application make him thrive in a work environment, and he tends to treat social engagements and activities as a form of duty. His natural taste for clarity, detail, and technique would make him successful as a scientific researcher or high-tech designer.

Isaak Presley 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, he is quite friendly; he willingly reaches out to people and knows how to listen to their desires and their problems.

Although Isaak Presley’s demeanor is cool and distant, he is extremely sensitive. In some cases, his rather austere and rigid behavior and refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. He has spells of melancholy in which he does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid himself any emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for his inner self to be detached from this past life, and he sometimes has trouble reconciling the image he has of himself as an adult with the one he acquired back then. The idea he has of himself as an individual is related to the image his parents projected onto him as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and he is now an adult. It should be easy for him to rid himself of these phantoms through self-work. He has the ability to overcome his mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve his goals. Nevertheless, he must not repress his sensitivity in order to succeed.

Insecurities could cause Isaak Presley to crave order in his life and to prefer to do things according to a predetermined plan. Unfortunately, because his logic and vision tend to be somewhat short-sighted, it requires a great effort for him to adapt to a situation. He is rigid, might struggle to make friends easily, and is sometimes wary of relations with those he is most attracted to. He is a gifted worrywart.

Due to my sensitivity and irrepressible imagination, I sometimes have trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although my 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 my self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, I am extremely romantic and do not always see others the way they really are.

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

Love and Sensuality:

Isaak Presley has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate Isaak imagines for himself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between Isaak’s splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. Isaak should be careful not to confuse his romantic ideal with reality and become aware that his tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from himself.

Isaak Presley’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of his emotional urges and somewhat wary of his feelings, he tries to rid himself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

As a result of this conflict between the conscious, active, masculine principle of Isaak Presley’s psyche and the unconscious, passive, feminine principle, Isaak Presley is continually subject to nervous tension, which wears them out and exhausts them. Their mind and body are always feverishly active. They always tend to do too much, to become obsessed with insignificant details, or to panic when faced with the unexpected. They are likely to marry a partner younger than they are, either chronologically or in terms of their sense of duty. But perhaps their second marriage will be more reasonable and satisfying.

Isaak Presley is dazzled by and attracted to social prominence or brilliant people. Although he may engage in quite a few adventures, he is liable to feel that his deepest desires remain unfulfilled. There is some chance that the person he cares for most will refuse to commit to him, or he may commit himself to an ambitious person who demands more than he can give.

Mental and Intellect:

Isaak Presley has a lively wit which gives him great agility and scope and a broad field of consciousness which enlivens his curiosity and makes him love variety and change. His mind is alert and his speech is full of verve, humor, and sometimes impudence. These abilities are great resources in communication, discussion, and debate. He is a storehouse of information and ideas of every kind and delights in manipulating words and concepts, discovering new things, and sharpening his memory for trivial facts. This mental agitation could sometimes make him scattered, however, or lacking in coherence and discipline.

Isaak Presley 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.

In relations with other people, Isaak Presley’s behavior is usually kind and benevolent. He exerts a certain charm, knows how to speak persuasively and convincingly, and is adept at smoothing the asperities of what he has to say when it is necessary. This aspect of his personality is a great advantage to him socially; however, in situations where he must either compete or deal with direct conflict and hostility, he may be somewhat at a loss for how to behave.

Isaak 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.
