DID YOU KNOW?

You are of a deep psychological bent and very interested and curious about how people cope in the world. A high interest in 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, staining issue/wound/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, first for yourself. Later, 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 human 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 be 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 (everything is always about you and there is no sensitive or awareness of other's needs or suffering) is an earmark. Often, you hide your emotions. No one really knows what you are feeling unless you tip your hand. Then, you may become highly emotional and you choose not to use your rational or logical side of your mind (although you can very easily). As a consequence, you may become an emotional drama king or queen as a way to get what they want or to communicate your needs as a form of manipulation to get attention or what you want.
