Mali-koa Hood is fairly individualistic. Although she sometimes mingles with groups for their competitive atmosphere, she will rarely join in them wholeheartedly preferring to work on her own projects independently. A lack of confidence in herself may sometimes create challenges in relationships. Her lack of self-esteem may sometimes inhibit the full expression of her generosity and love.

You have a hard time finding your identity. Maybe your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, depriving you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you 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, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Mali-koa Hood has great strength of character. Her courage and endurance enable her to accomplish even extremely arduous tasks. Although she sometimes behaves impulsively, she generally knows how to plan out an effective strategy, and, as a result, she reaches her goals without meeting any major obstacles. Her forcefulness gives her certain leadership skills, which she may implement to creative and constructive ends.

A charismatic speaker and compulsive charmer, Mali-koa Hood has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make her seem arrogant or smug. She cares a great deal about her reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around her. Fond of social events and parties, she likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, she has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. She enjoys displaying her generosity, but she also displays a short temper at times; she is easily offended. Her partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to her and capable of enhancing her reputation.

Mali-koa Hood has a lively, agile, and sensitive intellect. However, she does not always avail herself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although she enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, her thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. She is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste her nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Additionally, her feelings sometimes blur her objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause her to make errors in judgment.

Mali-koa Hood is a cheerful, communicative, and pleasant associate to have. Her expansive nature is related to her gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. She is extremely kind-hearted herself and gives of herself and her wealth unstintingly. Her bountifulness, which many people appreciate somewhat selfishly, may arise from a confusion between her desires and reality.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and your refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved and tend to forbid yourself any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. Through self-work, you can rid yourself of these phantoms. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Mali-koa Hood’s insecurities might cause her to come off as haughty and arrogant. Her vanity is easily wounded, and she abhor overt criticism.

Mali-koa Hood has a romantic nature and is seeking a soulmate. The world of her emotions is warm and inviting, the expression of true kindness. Tenderness, grace, and mildness rule her sensitivity, which is aroused by contact with nature and thrills to the idea of a secure, stable home.

Mali-koa Hood’s birth chart indicates that she has an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. She distrusts her emotional urges and is somewhat wary of her feelings, trying to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Mali-koa Hood has a contradictory and somewhat enigmatic nature. She is both realistic and idealistic, and does not always succeed in accomplishing her aspirations, though she certainly tries hard. In her relationships, she fabricates illusions but may suddenly sober up next to someone she will find dull and feel trapped in a routine. Unresolved, this contradiction may make her feel uncomfortable with herself.

Mali-koa Hood is a typically romantic creature who often lives in a world of dreams rather than reality. She is fairly flexible in terms of her feelings and emotions, and her character may change according to the tide of influences she receives. She may become dependent on the person she loves. Nurturing family could be one of her chief purposes in life.

You are 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.

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

Mali-koa Hood is somewhat plodding but realistic and pragmatic. Because she is chiefly preoccupied with the practical aspects of things, she is especially apt to develop more efficient production concepts. Although her good judgment and common sense provide her with an excellent ability to handle the tangible world (she is certainly clever, and can quickly assess the tangible value of things), her thought processes might be relatively impervious to abstract concepts and spiritual awakenings.

Mali-koa Hood expresses its thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. It is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, it looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Mali-koa Hood is often prone to making hasty decisions and taking reckless actions, which can lead to problems down the road. Unlike most people, Hood sees things in a very idealistic way and tends to put far too much faith in his own abilities. This often leads him to try to take on too much at once, which can be disastrous when things get difficult. Additionally, Hood often lies and breaks promises, which often comes from a feeling of self-hate. If he continues to do this, he will eventually lose the trust of those around him.
