Jim Jefferies tries to compensate for his confidence issues by insisting on his authority over others. With the people he is emotionally committed to, the same nagging feelings of insecurity prevent him from expressing his generosity and love fully; his extreme independence sometimes hides an inability to abandon himself and a lack of assurance.
As a result of growing up without a father figure, you have trouble finding your identity and developing a system to structure your life. You might have lacked a paternal presence or the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, so you were forced to protect yourself and find your own system. Although this system was helpful as a child, it has now settled into a degree of interferance which inhibits your developmental efforts. As a result, in some situations it is difficult for you to assert yourself and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely and sometimes punish yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.
Jim Jefferies has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for him, he tends to think of himself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to him do not always appreciate. Although he is quite likely to succeed in his ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, his lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose him to some danger. His exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for him by causing him to make errors in judgment.
Jim Jefferies usually maintains a cool and distant demeanor, suppressing his feelings and sensitivity. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. In many cases, this detriment to his love life results in him plunging all his energy into his work. He seeks social recognition through his career achievements.
Jim Jefferies maintains strong ties with his past, and it often seems difficult for him to open his heart to new people. His love affairs might exist on the surface level, because his lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for him to meet partners who combine the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.
Jim Jefferies’ personality is dominated by love and affectivity. He is subject to love at first sight, and his gallant heart sometimes leaps forth impulsively; his sensitivity is lively and powerful. Amorous rivalries and conquests may be a recurring theme throughout his life.
Jim Jefferies’ 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.
Jim Jefferies is fairly independent, and has trouble finding emotional fulfillment. His youthful idealism subsided into disillusionment which has taught him to shield his sensitivity by being critical or ironic. Because his fear being overwhelmed by his feelings and do not readily yield to love, he prefers friendship. His ideal partner would be original, tender, and reassuring, apt to instill cheerfulness in his relationship, and bright enough to stimulate him intellectually. Were he to marry too young or too soon, he might find himself trapped in a stultifying situation.
Jim Jefferies sits alone in a small, dark corner of the bar, nursing a drink and looking out over the people milling about. He’s not really interested in any of them, not really. He’s been to this bar countless times and he’s never felt this way before. He’s not really sure why he’s here, except that he’s bored and he’s looking for something new to do. He’s never been attracted to the crowd here, but he’s drawn to this particular corner because it’s dark and it’s quiet. He’s not sure what he’s looking for, but he’s sure that he’ll find it if he stays here long enough.
Cautious and reserved, you are sometimes unwilling to open yourself to others if you are not sure of being accepted. You will always hang back somewhat from your emotional urges, parceling out your expressions of affection, because you have learned – sometimes at your expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For you, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when you are in love, you remain fairly circumspect. When you find yourself attracted to a partner, you privately engage in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether you are likely to be able to share your life and future with them. As a result of your sensitivity, you have a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich your existence and make it pleasant. You could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.
Jim Jefferies is an ardent and amorous person, and his relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, he is often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, his love life may be subject to some instability. He is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate him. His greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although he merges his ego entirely into the couple, he is likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If his partner charms and captivates him long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with him; otherwise, he is likely to yield to his need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for him.
Midlife may be a turning point for him from this point of view. His contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. His behavior enables him to remain aloof, to commit himself only halfway without consciously admitting it to himself, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when he loses interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps him from forming stable relationships. Indeed, he is tormented by the struggle between his undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, his romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by his conviction that his partner has become an obstacle to his individual progress. Because he thinks of love as a restraint, he may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, he will try to deflect the love function from its natural target and use the energy and bliss it generates for other purposes, the process psychologists call sublimation. However, he is also likely to meet “the one” who inspires him to initiate a change in his behavior.
Jim Jefferies has a great emotional ideal, full of subtlety and tenderness. However, he tends to be overwhelmed by his imagination and may not be selective enough when choosing a partner. His romantic and trusting nature may make him vulnerable. Although he strives to establish peaceful, uncomplicated relations, he sometimes experiences painful disappointments. His artistic delicacy and refinement provide him with a sincere love of the arts, music, and literature. He is likely to be a gifted poet.
Jim Jefferies is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because he sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, Jim tries to control not only his own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of his partners. He aspires to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning himself and yielding to the other terrifies him. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because he is guarded and somewhat secretive, Jim tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although he is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, Jim will not express his feelings unless he is subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of Jim’s emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, he is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.
