DID YOU KNOW?

You are of a deep psychological bint and very interested and curious about how people cope in the world. A high curiosity about the psychological underpinnings of yourself and others, you listen to your strong, well developed intuitive side. Absorbing information like a sponge you may not have to study a lot to retain it. Or, you may have some dark wound or trauma (usually subconscious) that is causing you to project onto others. If this is the case, then you need to take an inner journey of self-discovery to spot their Shadow contents (darkness), expose it, and then work through it and release it.

THE HEALTHY YOU:

You are a transformer and catalyst by nature. You may go into medicine, the healing arts or psychology. Other areas that interest you is detective, pathology or forensic work. Always fascinated with the human mind and emotions and how they work, your understanding of people's nature is well developed. On the negative, because you understand human behavior to an advanced degree, you may become highly manipulative, or very good at being passive-aggressive.

THE UNHEALTHY YOU:

If your wound is not healed, you may think the world a dark place and become very pessimistic or hopeless in attitude toward Life in general. Consequently, your ability to listen to others is short circuited and under used. Your thinking processes may be highly self-centered and narcissistic, instead. The world revolves around you and your needs only. Very selfish thinking is an earmark.
Although you may be passionate, you choose not to use your rational or logical side of your mind. As a consequence, you may become an emotional drama king or queen as a way to get what you want or to communicate your needs.
