Mark Trumbo searches for stability. He wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for his life, but his efforts are often vain because unconsciously, he is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time he reaches what he believes to be a good balance, he realizes he wants something entirely different. He should become aware that the concepts of stability and balance are difficult to apply to life. By definition, life is movement, change, and perpetual instability.

Mark Trumbo’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 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, also grates on his nerves. He finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Mark Trumbo is affectionate by nature, and love plays a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to love and be loved. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself in order to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

Mark Trumbo is restless and expressive. He has a personality which is sometimes agitated but straightforward. Unconscious feelings of insecurity compel him to act and sometimes to seek the admiration of others. As a result, he is unable to bear idleness and routine, and he is in search of perpetual excitement. His reactions to others are highly individual and depend on the mood he is in at any given moment. A person of decision, a businessperson or an athlete, Mark Trumbo often personifies boldness and impetuosity. His love life is liable to be fiery, as it obeys the imperatives of his desire for freedom and independence, and his need for change.

Mark Trumbo’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, he does not always avail himself of it and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although he enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, his thought sometimes lacks discipline and structure. He is fairly preoccupied with details and may tend to waste his nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, his feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause him to make errors in judgment.

Mark Trumbo pens a heartfelt letter to his mother.
Dear Mother,

It has been so long since I’ve written to you. I’m sorry for the way things have been between us. I know that I’ve been difficult to deal with and I’m sorry for that.

I know that you’ve done everything you could to try and make things work, but I just can’t seem to get over how much I hurt you. I know that I’m not the only one who has been hurt, but I feel like I’m the one who caused the most damage. I know that I need to apologize for all the ways that I’ve let you down, but that’s really all I can do.

I hope that you’re doing well. I hope that you’re happy. I hope that you’re able to forgive me.

Love,

Mark

Because you were so self-reliant from an early age, you developed a strong, independent identity. Your first taste of liberty may have led you to challenge the education and values you received from family and class tradition, and you were able to forge a strong, original personality and philosophy. Your relationships are usually free of conflict, because you are able to reconcile your need for independence with your desire for affection. However, your partners should be open and lively people, able to keep pace with you in your rapid evolution. You have an inspired and extremely lively wit and a brisk interest in the future, technological progress, and new lifestyles. You would be especially successful in communications-related careers like journalism, film, TV, radio, and advertising. Although you are an individualist, you have a powerful desire to contribute to the evolution of society and better its development.

But he was not unfeeling; on the contrary, his sensitivity was so delicate that he was careful to protect it.

Mark Trumbo’s birth chart indicates that he has an emotional function that is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Trumbo distrusts his emotional urges and is somewhat wary of his feelings, so he tries to rid himself of all partiality and get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Mark Trumbo was determined and competent in his career, but less so in his private life. His strength of will may scare some people away. He was subject to intense passions, but they were rarely happy. Sometimes he tried to repress his feelings, and at others, his love life was crippled by fate.

Mark Trumbo is attracted to fairly cold and ethereal people despite his strong sex drive. As a result, his emotional life is reduced to a system of restraints, efforts, duties, and self-denials. However, these romantic interests have a positive influence on his career and will encourage him in his professional ambitions.

Mark Trumbo considers the input from his subjectivity and emotions as static which he tries to tune out to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of his field of study, he tries to obtain perspective. He will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. His 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 him.
