Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Jonah Marais is patient. He is fond of routine, ritual, and any other events or ceremonies which mark the passage of time and the seasons. He tries to be as pragmatic as possible and unconsciously senses that his relationship with material things will be the best foundation for his self-development and individuation. As a result, he is attached to his possessions and will make every effort to cling to them.

Jonah Marais’ personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling his psyche. Because his sensitivity is in conflict with his determination, his attitude and performance may be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, he has the feeling he has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging his yearnings and fulfilling his ambitions. His unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of his conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage his plans. In his relationships, the images he builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, also grates on his nerves. He finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Jonah Marais has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for Jonah, he tends to think of himself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to him do not always appreciate. Although Jonah 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. Jonah’s exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for him by causing him to make errors in judgment.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

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

Jonah Marais has a sensitive and affectionate nature. He seeks tenderness and gentleness more than passion. His relationships with others are smooth and pleasant, and he has a natural sense of tact and social grace.

Jonah Marais has a sensitive personality. He may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. He is subject to cyclical energy flows and goes from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in his behavior may be explained by emotional problems he may have experienced in infancy: his mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Optimistic and happy to be alive, Jonah is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. He is extremely kind-hearted himself and gives of himself and his wealth unstintingly. His bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between his desires and reality.

Love and Sensuality:

Jonah Marais has a sensual and affectionate nature which is sensitive to physical attraction. This type of sensitivity, combined with productive urges, may be expressed in an artistic form. As for feelings, they are usually slow to take root. But once conquered by love, Jonah forms a deep and lasting bond. Although loyal, Jonah may also display a tendency to be somewhat possessive.

Jonah has an extremely intuitive nature, and his seeming sixth sense makes him acutely sensitive to everything. He is emotional and impressionable. He identifies with and reflects the person he loves.

Unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, he is liable to suffer from disillusionment. Several bonds or marriages are likely to be necessary before he learns how to be happy in a relationship.

Jonah Marais’ emotions are fleeting and transitory, and he is extremely curious about sexuality. As a partner in a relationship, he manages to obtain what he wants without committing himself and always succeeds in being forgiven for his mistakes. His companion will no doubt be a devoted person.

Mental and Intellect:

Jonah Marais’ intellect, which is simultaneously subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience, predisposes him to a people-oriented activity. With his memory and imagination combined with his shrewdness, he would be a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.
