What does Rachel Levin’s psychology tell us about them?

Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Rachel Levin seems passive and more or less resigned to her fate, including her insecurity. Actually, Rachel is fairly introverted and withdrawn, trying to make sense out of her inner confusion and fathom her inner depths.

At the moment of Rachel Levin’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. Rachel Levin thus enjoys a positive complementarity and understanding between the conscious and unconscious aspects of her psyche, between her determination and her routines, between her drive for self-assertion and her receptivity, her ideal and her sensitivity.

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

In Rachel Levin’s emotional relationships with her peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images her 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.

Rachel Levin has a taste for luxury and magnificence, for a dazzling social life and a distinguished career. When things are going well for her, she tends to think of herself as the center of the universe, an attitude that those close to her do not always appreciate. Although she is quite likely to succeed in her ambition to become wealthy and popular and lead a remarkable life in the outer world, her lack of moderation and overweening self-confidence expose her to some danger. Her exaggerated optimism could create difficulties for her by causing her to make errors in judgment.

Rachel Levin is sober and reserved and may even strike people as rigid and austere at times. Perhaps Rachel was raised in an atmosphere of rigor and sobriety as a child, and, as a result, became an adult a little too fast. In any case, Rachel quickly acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and a strong sense of Rachel’s personal dignity and worth. At work, Rachel is skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but Rachel’s lack of self confidence and personal assurance hinder Rachel’s decision-making skills. Although Rachel would deserve a prominent executive position, Rachel might refuse any that are offered due to Rachel’s fear of being in the limelight. Rachel is aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who are patient, which, in Rachel’s case, is true. The psychological mechanisms described above are probably the result of a paternal complex. In childhood, Rachel’s identity may have been too strongly attached to that of Rachel’s father or a father figure, for one of the following reasons:
– the bond with Rachel’s father was too close,
– Rachel’s father was absent and/or idealized,
– Rachel’s father was too strict, etc.
In any case, this psychological particularity can act either as a handicap or as an opportunity for Rachel to overcome Rachel. It will result in two groups of opposite but complementary reactions which will rule Rachel’s behavior all Rachel’s life:
– hypersensitivity or insensitivity
– intense life wish or discomfort with life
– obsession or renunciation
– skepticism or fanaticism
– asceticism or lust
– jealousy or indifference
– effort or laziness
The so-called “Saturnian” phases (at age 7, 14, 21, 28 or 29, and 35 years) will be transitional periods that give Rachel an opportunity to resolve this complex in real life.

Rachel Levin has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. Rachel is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as her intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with her “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of herself, Rachel is sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of the life instinct and feels an imperious need to cope with it.

This special consciousness Rachel has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for Rachel at the outset. It is not easy for Rachel to recognize herself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so Rachel sometimes finds herself forced to construct and assert her own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Usually cool and distant in demeanor, Rachel Levin represses her feelings and sensitivity and avoids the sort of situation where she might be forced to express them. This inhibition is related to a feeling of not having been loved enough. In many cases, to the detriment of her love life, Rachel is capable of plunging all her energy into her work. Rachel seeks social recognition through her career achievements.

Love and Sensuality:

Rachel Levin is sometimes afraid to love – the world of her feelings is characterized by a certain chill and restraint. But she is not unfeeling; on the contrary, her sensitivity is so delicate that she is careful to protect it. Her determination to maintain control of her feelings and force her emotions to obey the laws of reason may stand in the way of intimacy and joy.

Rachel’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. Rachel enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with Rachel’s gaze riveted on the future, Rachel is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Rachel Levin’s timidity is such that she maintains a cold and aloof exterior. She might be uncomfortable with herself and subject to irrational anxieties or fears. As a result, it is difficult for her to prove her other qualities like a sense of duty, perseverance, and an excellent sense of organization. She accepts her circumstances as her fate and are liable to limit herself to regretful self-denial, unless she throws herself into a career and becomes a shrewd businessperson. She is quite likely to marry someone she will dominate but whose gentleness will help her find self-fulfillment.

Rachel Levin is ambitious and quite aware of her own worth, and there is nothing romantic or sentimental about her attitude to relationships. If she marries, her relationship will have to be a smooth-running ‘business’ that serves her social ambitions, but this is not necessarily the best route to emotional fulfillment and happiness.

Rachel Levin has an ardent and amorous character, and her relationships are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, Rachel is often more in love with the idea of love than with a partner. As a result, her love life may be subject to some instability. Rachel is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate her. Her greatest contradictions surface when an intimate relationship is established. Although she merges her ego entirely into the couple, Rachel is likely to demand a total autonomy and liberty which are inimical to intimacy. If her partner charms and captivates her long enough, there is some possibility that they will form a more solid bond with her; otherwise, Rachel is likely to yield to her need for novelty and fall under the spell of an entirely different person who exerts a new kind of charm for her. Midlife may be a turning point for Rachel from this point of view. Her contradictory attitude may in some ways hide a compulsion to reject and deny the bonds of dependency inherent to a love relationship. Her behavior enables her to remain aloof, to commit herself only halfway without consciously admitting it to herself, and to avoid feeling guilty if and when she loses interest. An insatiable appetite for novelty and exaltation sometimes keeps Rachel from forming stable relationships.

Indeed, Rachel is tormented by the struggle between her undeniable need for affection and an equally imperious desire for personal progress and emancipation. As a result of this inner turmoil, her romantic aspirations are usually sabotaged sooner or later by her conviction that her partner has become an obstacle to her individual progress. Because she thinks of love as a restraint, Rachel may even eventually consciously refuse any emotional approach to love interests. As an ascetic, she 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, Rachel is also likely to meet “the one” who inspires her to initiate a change in her behavior.

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

Mental and Intellect:

Rachel Levin is a flexible individual, and her intellectual faculties draw on sudden flashes of pure intuition as well as logical, rational thought. She has progressive, inventive, and sometimes utopian ideas; they usually relate to human or social problems. She always strives to be in the vanguard, creating a better world for the future.
