The specificity of Jaden Smith’s personality can be summed up by his nostalgic yearning for his roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. His power is linked to memory. He inhabits a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize him in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates him to recreate a new harmony. His attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If he thinks of it as a refuge, his obsession with it may be such that his progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, he thinks of it as a starting point or launching pad for his comprehension of the human condition, he will integrate it into his self-realization process. He possesses a potential for great maturation and wisdom.

Jaden is relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (his most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, he tends to limit the scope of his activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries he has established, release the entire spectrum of his rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes he may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce him to unfamiliar factors and elements; he sees them as intrusions. Before he judges an event, a person, or a thing, he attempts to absorb it into his private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, he defines everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in him as his consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives him extreme sensory finesse. His perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. His imagination, which is a function of his perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific.

Because Jaden is sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of his inner self, he may tend to withdraw into his shell when he encounters aggression from the outer world. As a result, he may sometimes become distant and secretive. His tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of his need for protection and security. Despite his sensitivity, and his ability to be genuinely virtuous, he is not always gentle. His outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, his stubbornness, slow insistence, and undying determination are the extremes which may complicate his life.

Once again, the family setting is vitally important to Jaden. His attachment to his family in general and his mother or a mother figure, in particular, is deep. The way he resolves (or has resolved) the transition to adulthood and independence will be crucial to his well-being, both in terms of his inner harmony (the sensation and sensitivity which comprise his identity) and in terms of his romantic relationships.

Jaden Smith is sensual. Pleasure is important to Jaden Smith.

Jaden Smith’s personality develops mainly in the shelter of the home. Jaden Smith is attached to Jaden Smith’s family, Jaden Smith’s heritage, and Jaden Smith’s past.

At the time of Jaden Smith’s birth, his rising sign was located in Capricorn (the Goat), while the sun was passing through the sign of Cancer (the Crab). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide his personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of his character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Sensitivity – Need for security – Imagination – Inhibition – Eccentricity – Application – Savings and thrift – Methodical mind – Suspicion – Forethought – Obstinacy – Loyalty – Premonition.

In appearance Jaden Smith is stable, serene, and even placid. But this thick outer shell merely conceals and protects a pool of exquisite sensitivity. He keeps his fertile imagination in check with cold and uncompromising logic, and represses the impulses from his heart with systematic wariness, or perhaps even painful denial. Persistent and serious, he generally takes action with calm, forethought, and method.

Jaden Smith’s concern for the future, which sometimes turns to anxiety, is expressed by a penchant for savings and parsimoniousness. This form of expression is reflected in his attitude toward his emotional bonds: he intends for them to be lasting and deep. Torn between his need for independence and his hunger for affection, he will go through a series of intense and exclusive involvements interspersed with periods of solitude he will find more or less unbearable. Maturity should bring him the wisdom to find a balance and reconcile the opposing tendencies tugging at him. At that point, all of his talents and faculties will find effective expression.

Born in the three and one-half days before the full moon rose, Jaden Smith is said to be a “gibbous moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives him a rich, complex personality, although he is sometimes troubled by the feeling he is struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that he is lacking something may preoccupy him until he finds a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of his devotion.

Devotion will be important to Jaden as a foundation for his inner and outer development. If he fails to encounter a great and noble cause to which he is willing to pledge himself, he could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract him. Whatever he decides, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that he will approach his own self-transformation.
