Josh Lucas experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Josh Lucas is a reluctant individualist who tries to free himself from any outside influence. He often rebuffs others’ help and cooperation on projects. He only succeeds in accomplishing his goals and ambitions by working and acting independently.

Josh Lucas strode purposefully down the busy sidewalk, his head down and his hands shoved in his pockets. He didn’t care who was watching him or what they were thinking. He was on a mission and that was all that mattered. He had made a promise to himself and he was going to keep it. He wasn’t going to let anyone stand in his way. Not his family, not his friends, and not the girl he loved. He had told her that he would never let anything stand in the way of their relationship, and he was going to keep that promise. He had always been a self-reliant person, and he was going to keep that trait going. He wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of his dreams.

Josh Lucas is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he sets for himself.

Josh Lucas thinks, Intuition and inner perceptions are predominant in his psyche. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, eager to participate in everything happening around him. His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, he never allows himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

Josh Lucas is aware of a lack of confidence in himself and in life. Prone to apathy, as if deprived of optimism and cheerfulness at some time, he may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which he may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, he was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, he is unable to move himself toward an improved, more positive disposition. He may reject any challenge that would enable him to surpass his current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of his problem, he may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to him, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.

You work harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors your own difficulty in understanding your own feelings and emotional needs. You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
