Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

Tom Holland is determined to obtain a superlative grip on his emotional urges; he practices holding back his impulses and controlling them. Although it is not an easy apprenticeship, he wants to be able to bear strain with patience, endurance, and stamina. More than anyone else, he is aware of the need for a solid and stable foundation as a prerequisite to any effective action.

Tom Holland’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 sometimes 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, might also annoy him. He could find it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

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

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Physical and mental freedom are vital to Tom Holland. His youth and home may have been of the rootless, wandering type, which could have given him a taste for movement and independence. He needs to be aware that his life has a purpose and hunt for it in various belief systems, both traditional and new age. In fact, he has an unmistakable gift for philosophy. The faraway appeals to him, and travel is likely to be an important aspect of his life.

Out of either shyness or caution, Tom hides and protects his sensitivity behind a fairly cool, aloof exterior. He is fairly conservative, respectful of tradition and convention, and likes to follow the rules. Because he needs stability to alleviate his feelings of frustration and sometimes emotional dependency, he has great faith in contracts which seal relationships. His ties to his past are fairly strong. They are a source of reassurance and safety, because his parents likely gave a lot to him.

Love and Sensuality:

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

Tom Holland’s birth chart indicates a somewhat introverted emotional function which is influenced by the cultural values traditional to his family and social class. Because he does not always trust his emotional urges and reactions, he generally prefers to hang back and acquire some perspective before committing himself emotionally.

Tom Holland’s emotional involvement might be the source of some dissatisfaction for him. The usual romantic behavior and the lifestyle values prevailing in this area are not really appropriate for him. As a result, he seeks few intimate emotional relationships or contacts. He tends to stay in the background and fulfill his emotional needs by sublimating. He might not attain full romantic satisfaction until he reaches middle age.

Tom Holland is constantly uncertain about his feelings. Nothing ever seems to meet with his high emotional aspirations, and when he thinks he has finally found his ideal match, usually it is because his aspirations have changed. As a result, there are likely to be several commitments or marriages.

Tom has a certain innocent charm. Without making any special efforts, Tom is often solicited and has a number of pleasurable little romances. Fortunately, Tom is fairly tolerant, because Tom tends to be attracted to young people who may not be especially loyal or serious. It is better that Tom not rely on them.

Mental and Intellect:

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

Tom expresses his thoughts and ideas carefully, but with a relative lack of spontaneity. Tom is rather introverted and looks inside himself for the solutions to the problems he encounters in life. Because Tom tends to mistrust customary thought patterns, his opinion is usually highly personal.

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

Tom Holland has a lively and agile spirit. He is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences without either dogmatism or prejudice. As a result of the liveliness of his mind, he tends to have an opinion on every subject, but he does not always have the patience or perspective necessary to examine a subject and gain in-depth knowledge of it.

He enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses himself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If he learned to control his flow of words better and elaborate his thoughts more, he might make a talented communicator.

Because he is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform his ideas, he is sometimes misunderstood. He is often blind to the rashness of his judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around him. If he were to succeed in disciplining his mind somewhat, he would have innumerable opportunities to apply his communications skills to a great career. However, he would do well to be careful of his nerves.
