Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Rosie’s confidence in herself sometimes falters, and she might try to compensate for this weakness by insisting on her authority over others. With the people Rosie is emotionally committed to, the same nagging feelings of insecurity prevent her from expressing her generosity and love fully; her extreme independence sometimes hides an inability to abandon herself and a lack of assurance.

Rosie McClelland’s personality and behavior are liable to be disrupted by a contradiction between the masculine and feminine archetypes ruling her psyche. Because her sensitivity is in conflict with her determination, her attitude and performance may sometimes be moody, fluctuating, and uncertain. Usually, she has the feeling she has to make superhuman efforts to succeed in assuaging her yearnings and fulfilling her ambitions. Her unconscious, sensitive side often disapproves of her conscious endeavors and stealthily works to defeat them, causing crucial omissions, mistakes, and gaps which effectively sabotage her plans. In her relationships, the images she builds up and projects on the other are contradictory. As a result, any bond, even if it is pleasant and positive, might also annoy her. She could find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Rosie has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for Rosie to gain access to this part of herself. Rosie is confident in herself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. Rosie sometimes needs a little stimulation to get herself rolling and take some initiative. Rosie’s optimism and inner certainty do not always drive Rosie to give her utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills Rosie possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. Rosie makes use of her theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for Rosie would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Rosie McClelland is an ardent free thinker and individualist who is convinced that her most precious basic values are freedom and independence. She has thrown off what she perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of her social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. Her passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble her relationships, as she may be an uncompromising partner. She would do well to learn to recognize her own limitations and accept the responsibilities she has to other people, or she is liable to find herself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.

The roots of her somewhat extreme behavior probably lie in her relationship with her father or her teachers in childhood and adolescence. For one reason or another, she may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with her father, in the same way as she now refuses to adopt any values related to convention, tradition, or widespread usage. In every important life decision she makes as an adult, she is forced to rely on herself to elaborate the appropriate behavior, and the limits she must impose on her desires in relation to reality and the law.

Rosie McClelland is extremely sensitive and receptive and tends to live in osmosis with her surroundings. Her individuality almost seems to be diluted in a flood of sensations and impressions which are continually washing over her, and she sometimes finds it difficult to communicate her feelings to other people or engage in any structured, analytical thought. This may stem from a misunderstanding with her teachers when she was a child. Unable to understand their disciplinary measures or authority, she may have withdrawn into herself in self-defense. It was then that she constructed her rich inner life, the part of her they could not invade, and cut many of her ties to the outside.

Because she enjoyed indulging in her inner life, it may have been difficult for her to acquire an objective vision of reality. As a result, even today, she tends to create imaginary problems for herself, regardless of the objective facts outside. Although her imagination is a source of inspiration and intuition, her fluid inner structure and organization sometimes make it difficult for her to grasp the essence of her dreams and share them with other people. She is not at all combative, and this tends to hinder her efforts to fit into society and assert herself productively.

She is likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but her refusal to abandon her unattainable dreams is a psychological trap she has fallen into without realizing it. She must understand that by running away from her obligations and commitments, she only increases the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once she frees herself from this pernicious process, she has a great deal of potential for fulfilling herself in the outer world, either by devoting herself to some sort of social work or by cultivating her considerable artistic talents.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Hypersensitive, Rosie McClelland is extremely receptive to the mood in her surroundings. She is unconsciously able to perceive the parapsychic signals or aura people give off, in addition to their words. As a result, she is extremely compassionate and ready to devote herself to their well-being. Her imagination has formulated the dream of an ideal life, and she sometimes feels ill-equipped for the realities of this existence. She tends to dodge difficult situations. With her partner, she seeks fusion.

Rosie McClelland’s intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. 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. Moreover, her feelings sometimes blur her objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause her to make errors in judgment.

Optimistic and happy to be alive, Rosie McClelland is a cheerful, expansive, pleasant associate to have. She is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of herself and her belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. Rosie is quite likely to be a professional success; her vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and her urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society. By old age, her good reputation and prominence may have earned her fame.

Rosie McClelland 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:

In affairs of the heart, Rosie McClelland is fairly shy, reserved, and discreet. Even in intimacy, she remains modest and does not always readily express her feelings. She’s sensitive and giving, wishing to be of service to those she loves. She would do well to trust that she deserves to be made as happy as she makes her partner.

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

Sensitive but plagued by self-doubt, Rosie McClelland has a contradictory personality torn between dreams and reality, between her nearly mystical need for love and the practical aspect of things. She is timid and rather inhibited, so she is generally careful to confine herself to the sidelines. As a result, many chances could pass her by. If a virile mate took her under their wing, she would thrive. Otherwise, she might find happiness with someone as sensitive and timid as herself, who knows how to understand her in all her complexity.

Rosie McClelland tends to be wary of passion and sometimes tries to make her feelings obey reason and logic. Rosie keeps a cool head, observing from afar the romantic imbroglios of others, which Rosie enjoys analyzing and deciphering. Rosie is skillful at playing hard-to-get or at any other little tricks or techniques which will ensure her success when Rosie wants it. Rosie is likely to remain uncommitted until middle age, keeping her hand in (as it were) with little adventures and romps. But Rosie may change after midlife.

Mental and Intellect:

Rosie McClelland has a fairly skeptical temperament which relies on remarkable analytic and critical faculties. Rosie is sensitive and curious, a keen observer of facts who collects detailed information they will later pore over and analyze. This type of logical, rational mind is extremely efficient for elaborating methods or sorting and classifying information. However, it sometimes lacks flexibility or broad-mindedness.

Rosie McClelland 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.
