Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Kendall Vertes is searching for stability; she wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for her life. But her efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, she is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time she reaches what she believes to be a good balance, she realizes she wants something entirely different. She would do well to become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Kendall Vertes has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding her identity. Perhaps her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she 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, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure.

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

Kendall’s complex and sometimes rather extremist personality is rooted in an instinctual drive which dwarfs mere rationalism.

Kendall delightedly immerses herself in the depths of human experience, stretching her intellectual, emotional, and spiritual resources to their maximum.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Freedom and independence are primary values for Kendall Vertes. Kendall Vertes expend a great deal of energy to ensure that Kendall Vertes’ private life expresses them.

Kendall Vertes hides and protects her sensitivity behind a fairly cool, aloof exterior. She is fairly conservative, respectful of tradition and convention, and likes to follow the rules. Because she needs stability to alleviate her feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, she has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. Her ties to her past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because her parents likely gave a lot to her.

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

Love and Sensuality:

Kendall’s attractions are usually immediate and intense. They rise quickly to fever pitch. The story of these passions is often dramatic to excess, combining all the plot elements of a classic love tragedy: jealousy, possessiveness, agony as an erotic stimulant, etc.

Kendall’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. Kendall enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries.

She is more attracted by exception than by love itself.

As we suggested earlier, Kendall thrives on difficult or even lethal passions. Kendall might have a very strong sex drive and a penchant for suffering as a redeeming value. Kendall’s tumultuous love life, a battle of leviathans, may sometimes escape from its bounds or generate disagreements which may disrupt Kendall’s career. However, Kendall’s powerful impulses and drive could be channeled into a creative, artistic or spiritual direction.

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

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

Mental and Intellect:

Kendall Vertes sometimes considers the input from her subjectivity and emotions as static which she tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of her field of study, she tries to obtain perspective. She will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. Her 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 her.

Kendall Vertes tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. Her thoughts are usually structured, and her reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.
