What is Veronica Merrell-Burriss’s Personality Type?

Veronica Merrell-Burriss is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in her psychological make-up, she has acquired a deep sense of her individuality and uniqueness. She sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of herself, she attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of her efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated.

It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because her impressive deeds usually earn recognition for her, and reinforce her self-assurance and her certainty that she does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. She sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. She likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of her conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. She may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society.

The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives her to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on her ego. By creating something, she can make her own individual mark on the world; she can organize it to reflect her own image, instead of allowing herself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in her own image are strong indications that she seeks to identify with her superego. The difference between her ideal of herself and the individual she knows herself to be in truth, measured in terms of her social recognition or the recognition of her creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine her state of mind. It is therefore important for her to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible.

The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in her personality. Her dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; her strong instinct and ambition combined with her somewhat exaggerated individualism incline her to be self-focused. She may be proud, but she is also courageous, determined, and generous. She has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, she is mysteriously lucky.

Capricorn rising has influenced Veronica Merrell-Burriss to have a personality which may seem somewhat aloof and introspective. In fact, Veronica is not inclined to submit to anyone’s influence, and leads the independent, solitary life of the individualist. Sometimes skeptical (if not pessimistic) and resigned, Veronica is still shrewd and objective in her insights and judgments. Veronica has a fairly severe, “no-frills” vision of life, and only the pure, bare essence really matters to her. Veronica’s personal stability tends to be founded on enduring values—philosophical or scientific facts in relation to spiritual value. Sometimes Veronica seems detached and weary, or disillusioned, and she does not readily express her feelings and emotions. However, her inner sensitivity should not be underestimated. Although her demeanor is serious, it is tempered by a desire for company and sociability which is best satisfied by group activities. When her sense of administration and social responsibility take over, Veronica engages herself with enthusiasm. Veronica has an instinct for parceling out energies as a function of long-term strategy, and could easily become an efficient and highly respected manager of some kind.

Veronica Merrell-Burriss is dynamic. She needs to attract admiration and release her excess energy.

Veronica Merrell-Burriss is attentive to work and profit. She will probably be financially comfortable throughout her life.

At the time of my birth, Veronica’s rising sign was located in Capricorn (the Goat), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide her personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of her character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Narcissism – Need for security – Determination – Inhibition – Pride and self-assurance – Application – Superiority – Methodical mind – Brilliance – Forethought – Generosity – Loyalty – Optimism.

Her energetic, proud, and self-admiring side engages her guileful, withdrawn, calculating side either in conflict or in cooperation, depending on the circumstances.

Her authority and determination often monopolize her energy, at the expense of her emotions. Or she may find herself distracted from pursuing her goals by the whisperings of her heart. By middle age, however, she should reach a balance which gives liberal expression to all her gifts. Control over her emotions, pride, and passions should then give her access to the highest realms of self-realization.

Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, Veronica Merrell-Burriss is of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, her personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. Her ideas are original and often bold, but, to her dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers.

Her sense of humor is her best communications tool, but she often switches to a more severe tone which breaks her charm over her audience, and her methods do not always please the masses.

Her lack of flexibility hinders her strategies and projects, and she would gain by developing her sense of diplomacy and tact. Although she is not unduly attached to success, because she is so used to being ahead of her time, her failures take a psychological toll on her. Because each setback wears her down a little more, she should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
