Joe Stone senses that he has instincts which may be dangerous, and he tries to restrain and control them. As a result, he may adopt a fairly ascetic lifestyle. His attitude, which denies the vital importance of the most archaic and darkest forces within him, is not entirely innocuous. If he hopes for a more harmonious development, he will do well to realize that instincts can be tamed; they do not react positively to being trampled.

Joe Stone was born under the auspices of two celestial lights – the sun and the moon. This alignment is a sign of harmony and balance, between the masculine and feminine archetypes. It is the origin of understanding and balance between the two main parts of Joe’s personality – the conscious and unconscious. Joe enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between these two aspects of himself, between his determination and his routines, between his drive for self-assertion and his receptivity, his ideal and his sensitivity. Joe’s parents reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to Joe, and it is likely that they encouraged Joe to develop his own individuality. As a result, Joe 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. Joe’s emotional relationships with his peers are also positively affected by the masculine/feminine harmony. The images Joe projects onto his peers are especially constructive, and the bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between Joe and his peers is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto his “other” – that is, his significant other.

Joe Stone is fairly strong-willed, and he 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.

Joe Stone felt insecure about himself. He tried to gain approval from others by showing that he was worthy of their affection, but his pessimism remained. The severe taboos he unconsciously placed on himself sometimes kept him from developing quickly.

Joe Stone is hypersensitive to the mood in his surroundings. He is unconsciously able to perceive the parapsychic signals or aura people give off, in addition to their words. As a result, he is extremely compassionate and ready to devote himself to their well-being. His imagination has formulated the dream of an ideal life, and he sometimes feels ill-equipped for the realities of this existence. He tends to dodge difficult situations. With his partner, he seeks fusion.

Joe Stone maintained strong ties with his past, and it often seemed difficult for him to open his heart to new people. His love affairs existed on the surface level, because his lust and sensual desire rarely turned into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it was difficult for him to meet partners who combined the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

Joe Stone hides his sensitivity behind a conservative exterior. He is respectful of tradition and convention and likes to follow the rules. Because he needs stability to alleviate his feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, he has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. His ties to his past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because his parents likely gave a lot to him.

Joe Stone is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as his sensitivity is touched. Although he feels that his independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, he is sometimes frustrated by his need to rely on his family or friends. Moreover, he does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as his own. Likewise, he is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if he feared that it would doom him to eternal dependency. Joe Stone’s ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship he had with his mother or a mother figure. Although he was dependent on them, they may have rejected him. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which his sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off his feelings of dependency, Joe Stone sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, his reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Joe Stone, knowing that he was taught to experience love in a certain way by his family, social class, or religion, decided to experiment with a new style. His idealistic aspirations may be a form of escapism. They encouraged him to cast off conventional romantic practices and customs and embark on new adventures.

Joe Stone’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, Joe is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Joe Stone is subject to anxiety and sees himself as a person who is prone to anxiety and feelings that overpower him. He tends to resign himself to circumstances and is liable to confine himself to a state of regretful self-denial, unless he takes an opportunity to forge his moral strength in a constructive relationship, a religion, or a belief which lends his structure. His choice of a partner is thus crucial. Only a person who is tender yet strong, and reassuring yet flexible will be apt to help him find emotional fulfillment.

Joe Stone exudes a cheerfulness and warmth which win him many a heart. A light-hearted and dynamic companion with an ability to take initiative in and direct the relationship would bring Joe the emotional balance he sometimes lacks. Mutual tolerance will ensure the survival of the commitment.

You have an ardent and amorous character, and your relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, you are often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, your love life may be subject to some instability. You are generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate you. Your greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although you merge your ego entirely into the couple, you are likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If your partner charms and captivates you long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with you; otherwise, you are likely to yield to your need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for you.

Midlife may be a turning point for you from this point of view. Your contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. Your behavior enables you to remain aloof, to commit yourself only halfway without consciously admitting it to yourself, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when you lose interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps you from forming stable relationships. Indeed, you are tormented by the struggle between your undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, your romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by your conviction that your partner has become an obstacle to your individual progress. Because you think of love as a restraint, you may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, you 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, you are also likely to meet “the one” who inspires you to initiate a change in your behavior.

Joe Stone considers the input from his subjectivity and emotions as static which he tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of his field of study, he tries to obtain perspective. He will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. His choice areas of study could be mathematics, philosophy, legislation, or political science. Ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could serve as “food for thought” for him.

Joe Stone 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.

Joe Stone has a lively and agile spirit. He is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of his great mental vitality, Joe tends to have an opinion on every subject, but he does not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth. Joe enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuse himself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If Joe learned to control his flow of words and elaborate his thoughts more, he could make a talented communicator. Because Joe is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform his ideas, he is sometimes misunderstood. Joe is often blind to the rashness of his judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around him. If Joe were to succeed in disciplining his mind somewhat, he would have innumerable opportunities to apply his communications skills to a great career. However, he would do well to be careful of his nerves.

Joe Stone has a mind with an insatiable appetite for knowledge and an exceptional ability to learn. Without trying too hard, Joe could probably accumulate encyclopedic erudition. His intellectual curiosity is such that it is sometimes a drawback. He sometimes has trouble limiting himself to a single subject without being distracted by a multitude of others. Discipline and a conscious effort at organization will be of great help to Joe if he wants to deepen his learning and judgment. Once his intellectual faculties are disciplined, Joe is likely to succeed in any of the following fields: teaching, historical scholarship, advertising, writing (journalistic or literary), travel, etc. – in fact, communication in any form.

Joe Stone has a great deal of intuition but sometimes has problems organizing his thought processes and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to his mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. His thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. He tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, he can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although his perceptions are lively and subtle, he may display a kind of absent-mindedness, out of a fear of annoying people with his shrewdness or of fighting to assert himself. His imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
