Consciousness and The Ideal of Self:

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

Tony Lopez’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 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, also grates on his nerves. He finds it dissatisfying and irritating at the same time.

Tony Lopez is affectionate by nature, and love plays a decisive and central role in his life. He is a charmer who needs to love and be loved. Aware of his personal magnetism and the power it gives him, he will make subtle changes in himself in order to attract positive attention. He is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle he sees as a consummate art.

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

Adaptation and Sensitivity:

Physical and mental freedom are vital to Tony Lopez. 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.

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

Tony Lopez is an expansive, affable, and communicative associate. Indeed, some people find Tony generous almost to a fault! Tony gives of himself and his resources unstintingly. Paradoxically, there are times when Tony is self-focused. Tony reacts instinctively, without taking the trouble to analyze a given situation, and are prone to misjudge. As a result, Tony’s everyday life may be riddled with a whole variety of practical problems. Indeed, Tony senses a conflict between his social life and his family and will sometimes find it hard to fulfill himself in both spheres at the same time. Tony’s attitude toward his private life may inhibit his ambitions for social or career expansion; at worst, society (the law) may impinge on Tony’s private life. Tony should be careful not to project his personal problems onto his partner. If, instead, the two of them analyzed the problem, Tony might be able to find opportunities to resolve it together.

Sexuality is an important part of Tony Lopez’s life, and his relationships are most often determined by his instincts. If he has a relationship that is exclusively satisfying sexually, however, he might feel frustration, because he is driven by a kind of unconscious guilt to seek fulfillment for his heart and soul as well. He tends to be a rather excessive and tormented partner, who often re-evaluates the bonds that connect him to his partners.

Love and Sensuality:

Tony Lopez has fairly lofty amorous aspirations. The soulmate Tony imagines for himself is brilliant and dazzling with an array of talents and beauty. However, the gap between Tony’s splendid ideal and reality is sometimes wide. Tony should be careful not to confuse his romantic ideal with reality and become aware that his tendency to project may be a way of fleeing from himself.

Tony Lopez’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.

Tony Lopez’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.

Tony Lopez would be unable to settle for a mediocre emotional life with just anyone. Only someone of exception, who is brilliant and successful, strong and generous, tender and loyal, can hope to arouse Tony’s admiring affections. This person won’t be easy to find… Then, if by chance they manage to disappoint Tony and fail to live up to the grandiose dreams Tony projected on them, their lives will be full of woe. Tony will not grant the benefit of any doubt.

Tony Lopez must not confuse the heart’s logic with sexual needs. This is the psychological rule at the root of Tony’s suffering and disappointments. Carried away by an overwhelming physical attraction, Tony may find himself in the arms of a jealous partner. Tony would be well advised to take a long, hard look at Tony’s feelings before committing to a long-term relationship.

Tony Lopez has the fiery, importunate nature of a fervent lover. Indeed, affairs of the heart are one of his main purposes in life. His personal charm and magnetism are compellingly seductive; unfortunately, his attempts at conquest do not always lead to the fulfillment and satisfaction of his desires. Due to his impulsiveness and impatience to initiate new encounters, his approach to those he is attracted to may sometimes lack tact and delicacy. As a result of the foregoing, it may be somewhat difficult for Tony to maintain stable and harmonious relationships. Indeed, his emotional behavior is subject to a conflict between his quest for love and his need to satisfy his lust. His outpourings of affection and his need to be loved in return sometimes create complicated situations in which lust may be confused with love, or love may exist without lust, and he may feel unrequited or unfulfilled. This inner contradiction is a sign of his tendency to derive pleasure from suffering – either his own or that of his partner. The relationship thus becomes the setting for a sort of power struggle, weakening it as a source of psychological equilibrium. Nevertheless, Tony could sublimate this difficulty through artistic expression.

Mental and Intellect:

Powerfully ruled by Tony Lopez’s determination and vital needs, his intellectual abilities come to the forefront when his purpose is to communicate his ideal and plot his action or strategy. He can be both logical and astute and have gifts for theorizing but may sometimes lack perspective.

Tony Lopez expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. Tony is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, Tony looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Tony Lopez sometimes makes mistakes in judgment, and his understanding of things is not always in tune with social realities or prevailing opinion. His judgments tend to be hasty; his decisions are reckless. Moreover, he tends to overestimate his abilities and usually aims higher than might be realistic. Once an enterprise or project is underway, he may try to avoid obstacles by dodging certain duties.

Because his vision of the world differs somewhat from social realities, he should be extremely careful and scrupulous in regard to legal matters, in order to avoid any complications of that type. He is sometimes slightly dishonest in his relations; he may break promises or attempt to duck responsibility.

However, he should realize that such conduct toward other people is also a form of unconscious self-loathing. If he continues to behave in such a way, he is exposing himself to the same lack of sincerity from his partners.

Tony Lopez has a definite taste for expression and communication. He cannot survive without giving voice to his thoughts and speaking to other people. He delights in his own power to persuade, captivate, and sway an audience with his words.

Especially attracted to anything new and original, Tony immediately grasps the utility and value of the latest technology or philosophy, no matter how complicated it may be and has a knack for explaining it to the uninitiated and popularizing it.

Because Tony is fairly high strung, he may have trouble concentrating on a single subject for very long, unless it is a source of intellectual fascination or discovery. He may have to make some effort to overcome this inconsistency.

Tony’s open-mindedness gives him creativity, which is a valuable commodity in many occupations: teaching, communications, advertising, etc. Regardless of the career Tony chooses, his personal development will involve intellectual activity and progress.
