Jake Andrich has written an interesting article about Consciousness and The Ideal of Self.

Jake Andrich 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.

Jake and Andrich have a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding their identity. Perhaps their father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during their childhood, which deprived them of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because they might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, they were forced to protect themselves against negative influences and find their own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to them as children, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with their evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber their mind or inhibit their developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for them to assert themselves, and they tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because their authoritarian urges are mainly directed at themselves rather than others, they sometimes feel guilty about their behavior. They judge themselves severely, and sometimes punishes themselves by setting difficult tasks for themselves. Gradually, they should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Jake Andrich has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for him to gain access to this part of himself. He is confident in himself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. He sometimes needs a little stimulation to get himself rolling and take some initiative. His optimism and inner certainty do not always drive him to give his utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills he possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. He makes use of his theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for him would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Jake adapts well to new situations, being sensitive to the needs of others. He is also quick to take initiative, which can come in handy in unpredictable situations.

A need to be accepted and respected makes them tactful and diplomatic; in fact, they will sometimes swallow their personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group.

As a result, they are sometimes offended by the harsh demands of existence. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) take a central role in their life.

Jake Andrich has a cool and distant demeanor, although he is extremely sensitive. Sometimes his rather austere and rigid behavior and his 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 whatsoever. 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. However, the past is history, and he is now an adult. Through self-work, he can rid himself of these phantoms. 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.

Jake and Andrich have a desire to devote themselves to the creation of a mild and harmonious emotional climate, but they sometimes encounter friction with others.

Jake’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.

Jake Andrich has a fairly equivocal mixture of charm and passion, strength and frailty, which he wields with the purpose of controlling the other.

However, it is possible that as time goes on, he may succeed in overcoming his instincts and be able to devote himself to the mate he has chosen in a positive and creative way.

Jake and Andrich have high hopes and their capacity for love could be eroded if they connect with someone who is more interested in their own affairs than in ensuring the happiness of their relationship.

Jake Andrich 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 his 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.
