Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination

Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive Your childhood or your relationship with your parents was unsettling or unstable in some way, so that you may never have felt that you had firm ground beneath your feet. One of your parents may have been unusual, eccentric, or an inconstant influence in your life. Abrupt changes in location or in family relationships may have made you feel insecure, but positively you were given more freedom and less pressure to conform to conventions, which enables you to be more of an individual and less tethered to restrictive ideas of how one "should" behave, feel, or live. You have a sensitive physique and may have allergic responses and sensitivities to foods, medicines, or anything you take in from the environment. Emotional stress and confusion seem to affect you physically, even more quickly than they affect other people. You have a probing, penetrating mind and are highly analytical and critical in your thinking. Work that involves research, investigating mysteries or hidden causes, or deep study and analysis suits you very well. You are also a convincing speaker, bringing others around to your own point of view by the intensity of your convictions. Emotionally excitable, you have a desire to attain your objectives at all cost and apply your greatest efforts in order to succeed. Having spent too much energy pursuing personal goals, at times you may feel cut off from everyone, resulting in loneliness. You have a tendency to put too much trust in your luck and may adopt the attitude that everything you do will work out all right somehow. You are inclined to make many plans and expect them to materialize without much physical effort on your part. You want to take control of everything around you and are not likely to subject yourself to anyone else's will, leading to some very intense encounters with others. You should be careful not to resort to underhanded or subversive tactics when dealing with others.
