Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Because of Kawhi Leonard’s unconscious feelings of insecurity, he is fairly individualistic. Although he sometimes mingles with groups for their competitive atmosphere, he will rarely join in them wholeheartedly, preferring to work on his own projects independently. A lack of confidence in himself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. His lack of self-esteem may also sometimes inhibit the full expression of his generosity and love.

Kawhi Leonard has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding his identity. Perhaps his father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during his childhood, which deprived him of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because he might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, he was forced to protect himself against negative influences and find his own system in order to grow and feel secure.

Although this system was quite useful to him as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with his evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber his mind or inhibit his developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for him to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because his authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, he sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, he should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Kawhi Leonard’s 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 sometimes 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, might also annoy him. He could find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Kawhi Leonard is a sober and rather reserved individual who may strike people as harsh and austere at times. He may have been raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety, and, as a result, grew up very fast. As a result, he has acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency, tends to be rather uncompromising, and has a touchy sense of his personal dignity and worth. It is almost as though he is fighting an inner battle with his father or a father figure. The psychological models he received from his father or a father figure as a result of his interaction and his own interaction with authority may not have played a major role in shaping his relationships with the outer world and society. He may thus have been forced to compensate for this lack with individual determination.

As a result, although he is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, a lack of self-confidence and personal assurance sometimes makes him timid and hesitant. He sometimes feels as though he is only masquerading as a respectable, sober adult. He tends to be far too critical of himself and rarely feels satisfied that he is living up to his ideal. These unnecessary guilt feelings may lead him to turn down the prominent career positions for which he is fully qualified. He is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who know how to be patient and persistent, like him.

Due to Kawhi Leonard’s need for security, he tends to limit the scope of his activities, and sometimes must struggle to muster the energy to face unfamiliar situations. He is more or less passive and has a strong urge to take refuge in the past.

Kawhi Leonard is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that their most precious basic values are freedom and independence. They have thrown off what they perceive as the burden of the convention and customs of their social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Their passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble their relationships, as they may be an uncompromising partner. They would do well to learn to recognize their own limitations and accept the responsibilities they have to other people, or they are liable to find themselves continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.

The roots of their somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in their relationship with their father or their teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, they may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with their father, in the same way as they now refuse to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision they make as an adult, they are forced to rely on themselves to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits they must impose on their desires in relation to reality and the law.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Freedom and independence are primary values for Kawhi Leonard. He expends a great deal of energy to ensure that his private life expresses them. To avoid being tied down, he tends to be skittish when it comes to any profound involvement in a relationship. As a consequence, he might intellectualize his emotions and feelings and feel as though he can live more easily on friendship than on love. Extremely socially-minded but idealistic, he almost certainly feels an affinity with the ideals of some social reform movement. His imagination looks to the future.

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

Although Kawhi Leonard’s demeanor is cool and distant, he is extremely sensitive. In some cases, his rather austere and rigid behavior and his refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. He has spells of melancholy in which he does not feel worthy of being loved and tends to forbid himself emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. He may have suffered rejection in his infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect himself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, he withdrew into himself and developed his aloofness as a defense mechanism. When he finally lets down his defenses and allows himself to express his feelings, he tends to become impassioned and exalted. He is fairly introverted and egocentric and has a powerful sense of his own identity.

Behind a façade of fairly engaging idealism and a nearly palpable spirit of brotherhood and friendship, Kawhi Leonard hides a fear of emotional commitment. The truth is, Kawhi prefers to observe life from afar rather than come down and dirty his hands in it. However, this fearful and distant attitude will not necessarily enable Kawhi to know and love himself better.

Kawhi Leonard’s sensitivity and emotions are sometimes in conflict with his instincts. This inner discord makes him a fairly complicated relationship partner, and his behavior sometimes strikes others as mysterious or baffling. He is liable to switch from one attitude to the opposite. Sexuality is an important part of his life, and his relationships are most often motivated by his desires. Nevertheless, due to his unconscious inner battle, he does not often succeed in reconciling and fulfilling his emotional and sexual needs. Due to the strength of his instincts, passion may overwhelm him and drag him into situations he cannot always control, which intermingle erotic ecstasy and anguish, guilt, and aggressiveness.

Love and Sensuality:

Kawhi Leonard has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate Leonard imagines for himself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between Leonard’s splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. Leonard should be careful not to confuse his romantic ideal with reality and become aware that his tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from himself.

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

With both dependent and independent tendencies, Kawhi Leonard is torn between a strong thirst for liberty and a penchant to be somewhat submissive. Although this inner contradiction tinges Kawhi’s personality with an odd and captivating charm, it is also the source of ambivalent behavior and many of Kawhi’s disappointments in love. Kawhi will have to find a viable solution to these contradictory desires, because otherwise, Kawhi will be subject to baffling and dangerous infatuations which will leave Kawhi full of regrets and recrimination when the enchantment fades.

Kawhi Leonard is driven by a need for admiration, and his romantic involvement is sometimes dictated by his vanity or even by his pride. He needs a partner he can be proud of, who will respect and adore him. Nevertheless, his marriage or long-term relationship will be very rewarding, potentially complementing his rise on the social or career ladder.

Kawhi Leonard has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of his main purposes in life. His personal charm and magnetism give him nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of his well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to his impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to members of the other sex may sometimes lack delicacy.

Kawhi Leonard may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive him to seek pleasure. His need for romantic fulfillment may compel him to marry, because he also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that he had indeed achieved success. However, privately, he might be less committed to certain obligations and duties.

From the outside, Kawhi Leonard seems to be detached and aloof, but on the inside he is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because he sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, he 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, he tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although he is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, he 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 his emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, he is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Mental and Intellect:

Kawhi Leonard’s 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.

Kawhi Leonard tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. His thoughts are usually structured, and his reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.
