Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Tate McRae is trying to overcome their feelings of insecurity. To do so, they need a home: a dwelling, a territory, or perhaps a safe space or setting where they can rest, and let down their systems of defense against the outer world, which they find aggressive and hostile. They are ready to make some sacrifices in order to maintain and consolidate the structure they have chosen. True inner security, based on real knowledge of themselves, their abilities, and their shortcomings, their strengths and their weaknesses would no doubt be most effective and would allow them to remain open to the varieties of experience offered by the world.

Tate McRae has great strength of character. Tate’s courage and endurance enable Tate to accomplish even extremely arduous tasks. Although Tate sometimes behaves impulsively, Tate generally knows how to plan out an effective strategy, and, as a result, Tate reaches Tate’s goals without meeting any major obstacles. Tate’s forcefulness gives Tate certain leadership skills, which Tate may implement to creative and constructive ends.

You are sober and reserved and may even strike people as rigid and austere at times. Perhaps they were 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, they quickly acquired a spirit of self-sufficiency and a strong sense of their personal dignity and worth. At work, they are skillful, meticulous, conscientious, and efficient, but their lack of self confidence and personal assurance hinder their decision-making skills. Although they would deserve a prominent executive position, they might refuse any that are offered due to their fear of being in the limelight. They are aware that early success is often short-lived and fragile and that time rewards those who are patient, which, in their case, is true. The psychological mechanisms described above are probably the result of a paternal complex. In childhood, their identity may have been too strongly attached to that of their father or a father figure, for one of the following reasons:
– the bond with their father was too close,
– their father was absent and/or idealized,
– their father was too strict, etc.
In any case, this psychological particularity can act either as a handicap or as an opportunity for the individual to overcome you. It will result in two groups of opposite but complementary reactions which will rule your behavior all your 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 them an opportunity to resolve this complex in real life.

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

Tate McRae 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:

An eloquent speaker and compulsive charmer, Tate McRae has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make them seem arrogant or smug. They care a great deal about their reputation and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around them. Fond of social events and parties, they like to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, they have special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. They enjoy displaying their generosity, but they also display a short temper at times; they are easily offended. Their partner will have to be a brilliant person, strong and sure of themselves, devoted to them and capable of enhancing their reputation.

Tate McRae has a sensitive personality. They may jump to conclusions, which could disrupt relationships, as well as career plans. They are subject to cyclical energy flows and go from periods of feverish activity to periods of withdrawal and introspection. The aggressive element in their behavior may be explained by emotional problems they may have experienced in infancy: their mother, or a mother figure, may have had an energetic and volatile personality.

Tate McRae is emotional and tends to react suddenly and excessively as soon as their sensitivity is touched. Although they feel that their independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency are fundamental values, they are sometimes frustrated by their need to rely on their family or friends. Moreover, they do not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as their own. Likewise, they are sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if they feared that it would doom them to eternal dependency. Their ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship they had with their mother or a mother figure. Although they were dependent on them, they may have rejected them. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which their sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off their feelings of dependency, they sometimes tend to become destructive. Based on denial, their reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Due to Tate McRae’s sensitivity and irrepressible imagination, she sometimes has trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Although her bubbling imagination provides an abundant source of inspiration for creative or spiritual evolution, it tends to be less helpful and positive in matters that concern her self-assertion as responsible and self-sufficient. In a relationship, she is extremely romantic and does not always see others the way they really are.

Love and Sensuality:

Tate McRae enjoys captivating people with the elegance and ease of their expression. Tate is a witty and engaging flirt, an avid player of the game of love. As a result, the history of their affections is liable to be episodic, a long series of chapters about conquests or fleeting love affairs. Tate may carry on some love relationships by writing letters.

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

Prideful and dazzling, Tate is never inconspicuous. In fact, Tate enjoys acting out a role and loathes mediocrity. Tate hopes for a solid, comfortable, and lavish married life. Tate will help and encourage Tate’s partner and – if Tate chooses to have them – children to accomplish their ambitions but won’t forgive a single weakness.

As we suggested earlier, Tate McRae is fairly indecisive about her emotions. Although she has engaged in a variety of experiments in order to know herself and her preferences better, she might still find herself unable to make a commitment. She tends to be somewhat happy-go-lucky, yielding to whatever opportunity circumstances present, and may maintain several relationships simultaneously. It may not necessarily be easy for her to establish a lasting commitment, but it is not impossible.

Tate is hypersensitive and tends to relive the anxieties, apprehensions, and romantic absolutes of their first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. Tate is exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. Tate will not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. Tate is sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to them. Tate usually hides their emotional reactions or does not even allow them to reach the level of their consciousness, in an effort to protect their sensitivity, which they see as their weak point. Tate is fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, Tate will disguise their strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside them, and they feel unworthy of the love which is lavished on them. This psychological prohibition which rules over all of their desires and affects should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, their fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of their romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if they want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify themselves emotionally, the defense mechanisms they have elaborated to make themselves inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled. Any profound relationship will also require that they learn how to forget themselves occasionally in the other.

Tate has an ardent and amorous character, and their relationships with the other sex are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, Tate is often more in love with the idea of love than with their partners. As a result, their love life may be subject to some instability. Tate is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate them. Love is often a matter of luck with Tate. Even when a relationship falls apart, they do not see the experience as a failure or a tragedy; instead, they seem to learn valuable lessons from their mistakes. Psychologically, their emotion contributes positively and efficiently to their evolution. From another standpoint, their acute sensitivity predisposes them to original and subtle tastes; they are so receptive to beauty and attached to the concepts of truth and balance that they may all combine to yield remarkable creative potential.

Mental and Intellect:

Tate McRae’s intellect, which is simultaneously subjective and sensitive, acute and intuitive, always practical and deeply rooted in human experience, predisposes her to a people-oriented activity. With her memory and imagination combined with her shrewdness, she would be a gifted project manager, businesswoman, or scholar of history or literature.

Tate McRae 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.

Tate has a lively and agile spirit. They are curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences with an attitude free of dogmatism and prejudice. As a result of their great mental vitality, they tend to have an opinion on every subject, but they do not always have the patience necessary to examine a subject in-depth.

Tate enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amusing themselves with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If they learned to control their flow of words and elaborate their thoughts more, they could make a talented communicator. Because they are often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform their ideas, they are sometimes misunderstood.

Tate is often blind to the rashness of their judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around them. If they were to succeed in disciplining their mind somewhat, they would have innumerable opportunities to apply their communications skills to a great career. However, they would do well to be careful of their nerves.

Tate McRae has a structured mind and penetrating intelligence, but their thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding. This slow pace may be the consequence of some failure or humiliation during their formative years. They are fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tend to doubt in themselves and their intellectual skills despite their undeniable gifts as a thinker. Tate should become aware that their thought patterns and habits are the sign that they are on the brink of a really big breakthrough which will give them an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena; however, it will take time and effort.

Their mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, they are particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. Their contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. Whatever career they choose, they should learn to work alone, because they tend to be uncomfortable in some surroundings.

They will also have to learn to conquer their impatience, because they tend to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Moreover, a lack of self-confidence could cause them to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, they should find the courage to question their convictions.
