Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Malu Trevejo 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.

Malu Trevejo 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.

At the moment of Malu Trevejo’s birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This is a portent of harmony between the masculine and feminine archetypes which is extremely beneficial. It is the source of balance and understanding between the two main psychological realms which may be said to compose the personality. Malu thus enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of their psyche, between their determination and their routines, between their drive for self-assertion and their receptivity, their ideal and their sensitivity.

Malu’s parents almost certainly reflected a positive image of the marriage relationship to them, and it is likely that they encouraged them to develop their own individuality. As a result, Malu was and is able to be comfortable with themselves as they are instead of striving to attain their parents’ ideal. This has definitely contributed to the maintenance of a good relationship with them and the rest of the family.

In Malu’s emotional relationships with their peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images their ego projects on the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

Malu Trevejo is fairly strong-willed, and is mindful of going about her purposes with maximum efficiency. When she relates to other people, she sometimes has trouble expressing her emotions, but she does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As she grows older, she is quite likely to come into her own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. Her honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win her recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in her destiny, and her greatest accomplishments will guarantee her stability and prosperity. Although she is not especially enterprising, she will move into a high career position as soon as she feels sure of her abilities.

Despite my desire to devote myself to the creation of a mild and harmonious emotional climate, I sometimes encounter friction with others. My vision of other people is sometimes clouded by feelings of insecurity, and my need to obtain acceptance at any price may sometimes drive me to make too many concessions or compromises.

Malu Trevejo enjoys sharing and has a constant need for contact with other people. Malu Trevejo tends to be free and uninhibited in relations with other people, rarely allowing Malu Trevejo to be influenced by convention or prevailing opinion; Malu Trevejo associates with whomever Malu Trevejo pleases. This attitude makes Malu Trevejo’s life refreshing and exciting, and Malu Trevejo is never bored. In career terms, Malu Trevejo is quite gifted for any field related to communication, where Malu Trevejo’s intellectual singularity and lively wit would make Malu Trevejo an amazing hit. Malu Trevejo would also be likely to succeed in any activity where the work required a multidisciplinary approach: teaching, advertising, politics, etc.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

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

Out of either shyness or caution, Malu Trevejo hides and protects her sensitivity behind a fairly cool, aloof exterior. Malu is fairly conservative, respectful of tradition and convention, and likes to follow the rules. Because Malu needs stability to alleviate her feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, Malu has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. Malu’s ties to her past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because Malu’s parents likely gave a lot to her.

Malu Trevejo 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:

Malu Trevejo’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.

Malu Trevejo’s birth chart indicates a somewhat introverted emotional function which is influenced by the cultural values traditional to her family and social class. Because she does not always trust her emotional urges and reactions, she generally prefers to hang back and acquire some perspective before committing herself emotionally.

Malu Trevejo’s emotional involvement might be the source of some dissatisfaction for her. The usual romantic behavior and the lifestyle values prevailing in this area are not really appropriate for her. As a result, she seeks few intimate emotional relationships or contacts. She tends to stay in the background and fulfill her emotional needs by sublimating. She might not attain full romantic satisfaction until she reaches middle age.

Malu Trevejo’s refined and subtle sensitivity, remarkable psychological sense, and high aspirations make her a gifted charmer. She is also extremely understanding, the sibling everyone wished they had had, the confidant to whom you can confess all. Friendship will play a central role in her life and will often be mingled with her feelings of love. Her destiny may be marked by exceptional encounters.

When it comes to romance, Malu Trevejo is sometimes indecisive. Malu’s behavior may baffle Malu’s partners; a hesitation waltz in which Malu yields to affection and then suddenly bolts. Unfortunately, Malu’s timing is usually a little bit wrong – Malu may pass up or spoil a relationship which would have been extremely fulfilling. Malu tends to be especially attracted to people with a strong sexual aura; however, they are the type who could torment Malu or take advantage of Malu’s weaknesses.

Malu Trevejo may be characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she 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 she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties. At worst, she might deny the commitments that her optimism and expansiveness made her rush into too soon. If this were to be the case, the outward image of the couple’s success (wealth and comfort, etc.) would only be a façade which compensated for its emotional impoverishment and failure. Sooner or later, this hypocrisy might provoke a full-blown conflict. A second possibility is that a psychic incompatibility may gradually take root, pitting her romantic nature against the prerogatives of her career.

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

Mental and Intellect:

Malu Trevejo’s mental aptitudes make her especially good at comparing, evaluating, and weighing information. This intellectual modus operandi has enabled her to develop an innate sense of values, both artistic and ethical, as well as a remarkable ability to relate to other people. Her appreciative, conciliatory attitude makes her a skillful diplomat able to untangle conflict situations deftly and with ease. In other situations, her artistic spirit is sensitive to a wide variety of harmonies.

Malu expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Malu Trevejo has a lively and agile spirit. They are curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences without either dogmatism or prejudice. As a result of the liveliness of their mind, they tend to have an opinion on every subject, but they do not always have the patience or perspective necessary to examine a subject and gain in-depth knowledge of it.

Malu Trevejo enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses themselves with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If they learned to control their flow of words better and elaborate their thoughts more, they might make a talented communicator.

Because Malu Trevejo is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform their ideas, they are sometimes misunderstood. They are often blind to the rashness of their judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around them. If Malu Trevejo were to succeed in disciplining their mind somewhat, they would have innumerable opportunities to apply their communications skills to a great career. However, Malu Trevejo would do well to be careful of their nerves.

In the formative years of childhood and adolescence, Malu Trevejo may have undergone a conflicting situation which prevented her from developing her intellectual and imaginative faculties in a harmonious way. It may be somewhat difficult for her to integrate new ideas and concepts or to give her thought structure and coherence.

Malu has a distaste for study, which might require a great deal of effort for her. She could harbor feelings of insecurity that are so acute that they may undermine her will and therefore her ability to compete. However, if she overcame these emotions, she would see that she has plenty of marketable skills and that many satisfactory solutions to her feelings of ineptitude and inadequacy are within her reach.

Because this psychological complex may be related to childhood or adolescent opposition to parental or academic authority, Malu may not readily accept people who represent law enforcement agencies or power as an adult. She may display some hostility or vindictiveness toward them as a matter of principle. Malu should sometimes be careful of what she says.
