Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Selena Quintanilla is patient. Selena Quintanilla is fond of routine, ritual, and any other events or ceremonies which mark the passage of time and the seasons. Selena Quintanilla tries to be as pragmatic as possible and unconsciously senses that her relationship with material things will be the best foundation for her self-development and individuation. As a result, Selena Quintanilla is attached to her possessions and will make every effort to cling to them.

At the moment of Selena Quintanilla’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. Selena 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.

Selena’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, Selena 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 Selena’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.

Selena Quintanilla is extremely vigorous and energetic and has an immense need to assert her individuality. Her attitudes and actions are actually motivated by an unconscious desire for power. They puzzle the people close to her, who cannot understand whether her behavior is the result of pure selfishness or merely of an excess of energy. Selena is lively, alert, and determined, but she is too easily distracted from goals by futile competition or opportunities to exhibit her power. Selena has a short temper and must learn to control her impulsiveness, which might expose her to a great deal of unnecessary conflict.

Selena Quintanilla is constantly aware of the emptiness and futility of existence. She is often 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, she is sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of her instincts and feels an imperious need to cope with them. This special consciousness she 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 her at the outset. It is not easy for her to recognize herself in any social or narcissistic models, or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so she sometimes finds herself forced to assert and express her own identity in a way which may strike her contemporaries as strangely intense if not eccentric.

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Usually cool and distant in demeanor, Selena Quintanilla 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, Selena is capable of plunging all her energy into her work. She seeks social recognition through her career achievements.

Selena Quintanilla has a lively and curious intelligence, the very opposite of empty rhetoric and studiousness. Selena is agile and adaptable and can not only analyze difficult situations objectively but also demonstrate a profound comprehension when faced with a psychological problem.

Selena Quintanilla 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 sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, her reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Love and Sensuality:

Selena Quintanilla’s sensitivity may sometimes overwhelm her partners, and her compassion for the other is profound. She readily sacrifices her own interest to others, to provide help and assistance. A romantic as well as an idealist, she sometimes lacks discernment in the choice of her partners. She is fairly confused and evasive and has trouble expressing her feelings clearly. Nevertheless, she is capable of devoting herself entirely to the person she loves. She has a tendency to daydream and become lost in herself.

Selena Quintanilla’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.

According to the aforesaid, it appears that Selena Quintanilla is more or less torn between two different sides of her nature. Her desire to impress conflicts with her attachment to the nest; her social ambitions contradict her need for security; and her natural selfishness is hard to reconcile with her altruism. She is likely to marry a prominent person or one she can be proud of. Her own social position may disappoint her, but her family will give her satisfactions she may have missed out on.

Disillusioned by love, Selena takes pleasure in a kind of self-denial or self-sacrifice that occasionally borders on masochism. But she knows that before she can be loved by someone else, she’s got to learn to love herself. Only a relationship based on mutual respect and esteem can bring her the emotional fulfillment she seeks. A second marriage or relationship with an older partner should help her to restore the balance that was largely lost in her early relationships.

Selena Quintanilla has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of her main purposes in life. Her personal charm and magnetism give her nearly irresistible powers of seduction, and nearly every one of her well-aimed attempts at conquest leads to the fulfillment and satisfaction of her desires. Due to her impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, her approach to potential partners may sometimes lack delicacy.

Cautious and reserved, Selena Quintanilla is sometimes unwilling to open herself to others if she is not sure of being accepted. She will always hang back somewhat from her emotional urges, parceling out her expressions of affection, because she has learned – sometimes at her expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For Selena, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when she is in love, she remains fairly circumspect. When Selena finds herself attracted to a partner, she privately engages in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether she is likely to be able to share her life and future with them. As a result of her sensitivity, Selena has a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich her existence and make it pleasant. Selena could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

Mental and Intellect:

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

Selena Quintanilla does not express her thoughts and ideas smoothly or easily. She tends to be subjective, seeking to know herself better through a process of introversion.

Selena Quintanilla’s intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because they are turned inward. Because Selena tends to be oriented toward herself, she rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, Selena sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult to Selena to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.
