Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Due to my unconscious feelings of insecurity, I am fairly individualistic. Although I sometimes mingle with groups for their competitive atmosphere, I will rarely join in them wholeheartedly, preferring to work on my own projects independently. A lack of confidence in myself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. My lack of self-esteem may also sometimes inhibit the full expression of my generosity and love.

At the moment of Jin’s birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. Jin thus enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of his psyche, between his determination and his routines, between his drive for self-assertion and his receptivity, his ideal and his sensitivity.

Jin’s parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to him, and it is likely that they encouraged him to develop his own individuality. As a result, Jin was and is able to be comfortable with himself as he is instead of striving to attain his parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family.

In Jin’s emotional relationships with his peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images his ego projects on the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

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

Jin is fairly strong-willed, and is mindful of going about his purposes with maximum efficiency. When he relates to other people, he sometimes has trouble expressing his emotions, but he does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As he grows older, he is quite likely to come into his own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. His honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win him recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in his destiny, and his greatest accomplishments will guarantee him stability and prosperity. Although he is not especially enterprising, he will move into a high career position as soon as he feels sure of his abilities.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Lively and expressive, Jin has a personality which is sometimes agitated but straightforward. Unconscious feelings of insecurity compel Jin to act and sometimes to seek the admiration of others. As a result, Jin is unable to bear idleness and routine, and Jin is in search of perpetual excitement. Jin’s reactions to others are highly individual and depend on the mood Jin is in at any given moment. A person of decision, a businessperson or an athlete, Jin often personifies boldness and impetuosity. Jin’s love life is liable to be fiery, as it obeys the imperatives of Jin’s desire for freedom and independence, and Jin’s need for change.

Jin is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find Jin generous almost to a fault! Jin gives of Jin’s self and Jin’s resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when Jin is self-focused. Jin reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and are prone to misjudge. As a result, Jin’s everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, Jin senses a conflict between Jin’s social life and Jin’s family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill Jin’s self in both spheres at the same time. Jin’s attitude toward Jin’s private life may inhibit Jin’s ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on Jin’s private life. Jin should be careful not to project Jin’s personal problems onto Jin’s partner. If, instead, the two of Jin analyzed the problem, Jin might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

Love and Sensuality:

Sometimes I’m afraid to love – the world of my feelings is characterized by a certain chill and restraint. But I’m not unfeeling; on the contrary, my sensitivity is so delicate that I’m careful to protect it. My determination to maintain control of my feelings and force my emotions to obey the laws of reason may stand in the way of intimacy and joy.

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

Jin is always riding on a wave of enthusiasm in love. Jin is bold and uninhibited. Jin’s frankness is sometimes devastating. Jin is a strong-minded woman and is not ready to surrender either Jin’s freedom or Jin’s taste for adventure. Jin’s idealism may cause Jin to place loved ones on a pedestal, leaving Jin open to disillusionment. Nevertheless, Jin is ready to devote to the moral support of the mate Jin chooses.

Jin has a highly complex approach to romance. They look for tenderness but might reject it when they find it; they want to control everything but struggle to tolerate any sign of weakness in their partner. This contradictory attitude and their repressed emotions cause them a great deal of pain. Their tendency to commit themselves body and soul means that their choice of romantic partner will be crucial. From another quarter, their parents or family are putting unacceptable pressure on their love life, and they must break free from this influence. They might do better to wait for a while before settling down or to opt for an older partner.

Jin has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of Jin’s main purposes in life. Jin’s personal charm and magnetism are compellingly seductive; unfortunately, Jin’s attempts at conquest do not always lead to the fulfillment and satisfaction of Jin’s desires. Due to Jin’s impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, Jin’s approach to those Jin is attracted to may sometimes lack tact and delicacy. As a result of the foregoing, it may be somewhat difficult for Jin to maintain stable and harmonious relationships. Indeed, Jin’s emotional behavior is subject to a conflict between Jin’s quest for love and Jin’s need to satisfy Jin’s lust. Jin’s outpourings of affection and Jin’s need to be loved in return sometimes create complicated situations in which lust may be confused with love, or love may exist without lust, and Jin may feel unrequited or unfulfilled. This inner contradiction is a sign of Jin’s tendency to derive pleasure from suffering – either Jin’s own or that of Jin’s partner. The relationship thus becomes the setting for a sort of power struggle, weakening it as a source of psychological equilibrium. Nevertheless, Jin could sublimate this difficulty through artistic expression.

Jin has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. Jin is emotive and hypersensitive, making Jin especially vulnerable emotionally, since Jin is sometimes overwhelmed by Jin’s feelings and affects. Although Jin seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom Jin could maintain blissful, smooth relations, Jin is sometimes met with disillusionment. Because Jin’s rather excessive sensitivity and Jin’s need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge Jin’s judgment and discernment, so Jin sometimes forms extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When Jin meets someone, Jin falls under the enchantment of Jin’s dream of ideal love and cannot keep Jin’s self from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, Jin yields to another of Jin’s characteristic urges and loses Jin’s self in the individual who is so dear to Jin, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find Jin’s self as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, Jin’s psyche is constructed in such a way as to make Jin’s sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before Jin takes on any major commitments, Jin should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates Jin’s intense love, for Jin may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Jin’s tendency to believe in Jin’s illusions may mark Jin as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for Jin to find a different object for Jin’s affections, or a form of sublimation, because Jin tends to be so disappointed by Jin’s great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of Jin’s imagination procure artistic refinement for Jin, and Jin loves the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because Jin’s sensitivity also makes it easy for Jin to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties Jin’s peers are struggling with, Jin might also find it rewarding to commit Jin’s self to social work.

From the outside, Jin seems to be detached and aloof, but on the inside they are an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because they sometimes feel vulnerable emotionally, they try to control not only their own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of their partners. They aspire to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning themselves and yielding to the other terrifies them. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because they are guarded and somewhat secretive, they tend to be suspicious and are especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although they are fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, they will not express their feelings unless they are 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 their emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, they are likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Mental and Intellect:

Curious, skeptical, and pragmatic, Jin has a shrewd, inquisitorial mind. Jin always tries to detect the hidden mechanisms and processes behind the phenomena Jin observes. As a result, Jin 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 Jin’s 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.

Jin expresses their thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. They are fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, Jin looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

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

Jin 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 Jin would excel.

Jin has a lively and agile spirit. Jin is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of Jin’s great mental vitality, Jin tends to have an opinion on every subject, but Jin does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth.

Jin enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuse Jin with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If Jin learned to control Jin’s flow of words and elaborate Jin’s thoughts more, Jin could make a talented communicator. Because Jin is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform Jin’s ideas, Jin is sometimes misunderstood.

Jin is often blind to the rashness of Jin’s judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around Jin. If Jin were to succeed in disciplining Jin’s mind somewhat, Jin would have innumerable opportunities to apply Jin’s communications skills to a great career. However, Jin would do well to be careful of Jin’s nerves.
