Professional Diagnosis

A professional forecast is the result of a complex analysis. The human personality is so full of complications and contradictions that a given individual is quite likely to succeed in a field quite other than his primary sphere of competence; likewise, it is altogether possible for him to fail in what he had always been told was his natural calling. Moreover, psychological compensation mechanisms, which are entirely unpredictable at the outset, can make drastic changes in an individual's innate abilities (i.e. Toulouse-Lautrec's determination to succeed as an artist despite his physical handicap). Sociological data have demonstrated at length that an individual's destiny is overwhelmingly influenced by the social and cultural background into which he is born. But we cannot take such important criteria into consideration here. The intention of this forecast is to point out YAKI's true motivations, and the chief psychological functions which have contributed to his social and professional identity. We will complete the description with an analysis of his behavior and advice about the best approach to adopt in dealing with life.


Talents and Abilities:

Sober and disciplined, YAKI plans out his career with application and organizes his own work and that of others with care and precision. This great foresight would serve him well in a leadership capacity, although success is not his primary goal. His lack of flexibility with people and procedures may hinder him at times, making some of his tasks more difficult to accomplish. However, his persistence and ability to commit himself to a long-term plan will enable him to succeed with time- and energy-consuming projects.

He has a definite talent for taking initiative and starting ambitious projects; however, he sometimes runs out of steam, and does not always have the energy to complete what he has started. Paired with an efficient partner, this slight defect would be corrected, and he would learn to budget his energy better.

YAKI likes to reorganize, reconstruct, and recycle cast-off ideas and equipment. He relishes the challenge of salvaging a business or an object which is obsolete or in decline. His own professional career may be subject to a complete metamorphosis, in which a new activity would be born from the ashes of an old one. He is stubborn and persistent, and motivated mainly by the prospect of finding a reward in his work.

At work, YAKI is a veritable powerhouse. His continual need to assert his individual initiative and give a virtuoso performance drives him to accept many a challenge, for better or for worse. Because he enjoys gauging his strength and abilities, he tends to thrive in a competitive environment. Generally, he is able to electrify any team of which he is a member; however, his energy is sometimes difficult to harness to the goal set by the group.


Ambitions and Motivations:

As a worker, YAKI will follow his career plans with persistence and tenacity. Once he defines his professional role and begins to implement his system of production or work, nothing will be able to stop him. He is pragmatic and sometimes even rigorous, but his initial motivation is the profitability of his time and talents. He is creative, and has a sense of artistry and design. Conversely, he is sometimes destabilized or impaired by sudden changes he did not initiate himself.

The words that are his keys to success:

Exchange - Bind together - Diplomacy - Balance - Justice - Hesitation.

YAKI's social status is influenced by his circle of friends. He hopes to write, to speak, and to travel.

YAKI's perfectionism and scrupulousness sometimes hobble him with short-sightedness and inhibition in his search for a way to fit into society. His striving for discipline and order may cramp his expansion and keep him from obtaining mastery over a material world in which he is too closely engaged. He is so meticulous about the details of his job that he sometimes fails to see the whole picture. It is hard for him to stand back and assess all his resources and possibilities, so he is sometimes forced to toil away at correcting the little mistakes he encounters on a day-to-day basis. Nevertheless, his manual and intellectual talents and his logical and analytical mind are the key to a number of career possibilities: teaching technical or hard science, medicine, etc.

In his striving to accomplish and renew his potential, both professionally and socially, YAKI plays the role of the relay, the middleman, the reporter, the retailer. More than any other, he has an ability to deal with daily emergencies quickly and directly. It is easy for him to adapt to an established field of activity. He is not picky about his work and does not invest too much of his ego into it. Rather than specializing in a single field, he might try to develop his skills in a variety of areas. He might also manage tangible goods, ideas, information, anything related to reports, archives, written work organization, and any other kind of paper work (journalism, teaching, communications media, etc.).


Career Keywords:

YAKI should be able to succeed using his sense of organization, his intellectual ability to summarize and draw conclusions, and the broad scope of his ideas and projects which are usually in the public interest and win other people's approval easily. His refusal of boundaries, his excessiveness, and his identification with his social persona, however, could be drawbacks for him.

The desire for power and greatness is a strong motivation for YAKI. He is fairly self-confident and may sometimes tend to be domineering.

Aggressiveness, need for admiration, need for power, virility.

Strongest Domains

Relations with Others:

Among his friends and acquaintances, YAKI may find partners who are freedom-lovers. They will reveal more universal concepts to him and teach him how to relate to other people, instead of being so self-centered.

YAKI will seek a family relationship.

Because of his natural optimism and enthusiasm, YAKI enjoys taking a dominant role in groups. By acting as leader, he can infuse the other people with some of his energy. This virtually instinctive need to take part in a group enterprise indicates that the best opportunity for him to know and discover himself is likely to occur as a result of his personal identification with the interests of a group, a business, a political party, or a religion. Once he accomplishes this identification, he must learn not to avoid the trap of his fascination with his social image. Indeed, the private YAKI is not always the same person as the public one. He is somewhat arrogant and vain, and must be careful of a tendency to solipsism. He must not neglect his direct involvement with other people.


Material Assets and Resources:

YAKI works methodically and efficiently; he has technical gifts and the desire to be useful.

The type of career YAKI chooses could involve human contact and communication: business, journalism, writing, etc.

Early in life, in his social and familial setting, YAKI probably learned the value of being financially independent and self-sufficient. In declaring his financial independence, he may have criticized and challenged his family's relationship to wealth and material things. Perhaps he took issue with the way he had been taught to think about and use money, and with his family's treatment of material things, in general. Since then, YAKI has viewed money merely as a means to achieve his ultimate end, true freedom and independence. To him, wealth will never be an end in and of itself. He often takes risks, and nonchalantly makes or loses large sums of money without showing any special concern for the future.

YAKI has a fairly complex relationship to money and material wealth. He is by turns greedy and detached; his ambivalent and sometimes destructive attitude is relatively hard for those close to him to understand. One way or another, life will lead him to reconsider his sense of values and the way he manages his financial resources. At that point, he will have to become more aware of his relationship to money. He will have to learn to smooth the peaks out of his appetite the material world, which alternates with an aversion to it.

YAKI may not inherit the assets he expected.

YAKI feels a need to make wealth acquired by association prosper.

YAKI is plagued by feelings of insecurity which sometimes cause him to withdraw, socially. He feels like a loner in the midst of a crowd, somewhat aloof and isolated within the group; he will not participate without being coaxed. This apprehension in relation to others may keep him from cooperating and engaging himself in the partnerships and corporations in which his skills would be put to the best use. When he at last overcomes his shyness and manages to be part of a circle, his determination to prove his worth and his somewhat wary, guarded attitude may baffle the others. His love life is subject to the same dynamic. Regarding money, he sometimes tends to believe he will be left out. Nevertheless, despite his thorny personality, he may find himself assuming financial responsibilities for a business, corporation, or partnership. In this case, he will have to learn to overcome his egocentric tendencies and learn to be flexible, because the management of a corporate treasury is quite different from providing for one's individual needs. All of the above difficulties stem from a fear of emotional exchanges. This unconscious fear, bordering on the irrational, may have been aroused by problems he experienced in infancy and early childhood. To overcome it, YAKI will have to consciously assume the emotional bonds that connect him to others. Because money and sexuality are the main currency of these exchanges, he will have to examine and understand the financial or sexual difficulties that seem to recur in his life. The knowledge will be valuable.


Emotions and Creativity:

YAKI's mind is sometimes somewhat hesitant and unsure, and he seeks to fulfill himself through beauty, harmony, and justice.

YAKI has a sense of duty.

YAKI may face conflicts between his personal ideas and career realities. If he is not careful, an unstable situation harmful to activity may ensue. He should keep his mouth shut at work!

YAKI develops warm, positive relationships with the people close to him, and with his environment in general. Since he is adept at creating a harmonious whole from disparate parts, and good at organizing his ideas, he would be valuable within groups or associations with specific communications needs. In terms of emotional involvement, his love relationships often have an intellectual or cerebral cast; they may be related to his travels or necessitate an exchange of letters. However, he should make sure that his mind's tendency to dominate the emotional sphere does not impoverish his experiences with love.

YAKI sometimes needs to assert his political or religious beliefs with enthusiasm and impose them on others.

YAKI is fairly self-confident.

YAKI has great abilities to adapt. His openness to other people enables him to embark upon a variety of social activities and unfamiliar situations with ease, freedom, and self-assurance. His sensitivity makes him naturally receptive to the changing settings, and he intuits the most appropriate behavior and attitude for facilitating his personal integration, either socially or psychologically. He is respectful of foreign or abstract values which are usually underestimated or ignored by most people, and he has a talent for abstract thinking and an attraction for travel and exploration. As a result, he may settle in a foreign country. He would also be a talented teacher, because he enjoys sharing his knowledge.


Cultural and Intellectual Pursuits:

YAKI would be intrigued by pioneering a home in unexplored realms. He may feel a secret, conspiratorial relationship to his ancestors.

YAKI derives the basis of his identity from an ideology. He may have an opportunity to live in a foreign country.

Due to an unconscious feeling of insecurity, YAKI seeks stable psychological and material foundations on which to structure his personality and build a gratifying social life. his parents and forebears, his childhood and his past, the family he hopes to father in the future, and his dwelling all represent fundamental values to him. Instinctively, he feels a need to revive and integrate into his present life the deep roots he identifies with the past and his ancestors. Nevertheless, he balks at assuming the values of the past as his own; he is a little ashamed of being so old-fashioned. In fact, his primordial psychological task will consist in re-appropriating these ancestral values for himself, reformulating them as a whole system although he usually thinks of them as practically obsolete. Once has understood the function of these values and incorporated them into his personal philosophy, he will find he has acquired great self-assurance. Conversely, if he fails to do this work, his need for security will compel him to limit himself to a narrow scope of action.

YAKI should be aware that his personal desires and desire to develop his own individuality may interfere with his family life. He should give top priority to his pursuit of security and build a stable foundation. Once he satisfies his needs, he will be free to create, seek attention, and gratify his most heartfelt ambitions.

YAKI's ideas, opinions, and state of mind are strongly influenced by the intellectual and mental values his family imprinted on him. The home where he grew up was certainly lively with discussion and dialogue; he himself was probably often the center of these verbal exchanges and the main intermediary between the various family members. As a result, an atmosphere favorable to intellectual development probably reigned during his childhood and school years. It will make his own family life as an adult even richer and more animated. On another note, we might observe that YAKI could become an expert at certain domestic skills like do-it-yourself repairs or gardening. He might also develop an interest in history or genealogy.

Although, like most people, YAKI would like to establish a solid foundation for his personality and his life, he is still fairly confused about the means to achieve this goal. He has the impression that all his attempts are doomed to fail, and that he will never be satisfied by anything really solid. Because his strivings for security are so often disappointed, he continually questions his own idea of what would be good for him. In fact, the key for him lies in realizing that his need for security will never be gratified by the stability which reassures most people. Only the truly universal values, like faith and brotherhood, for example, will put his soul at ease and make him feel like a productive member of society.

Dominant Astrological Characteristics

Jupiter is the first dominant in YAKI's astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position... The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one's individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group. These growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego. Hence the planet's flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with him), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess. Although grandeur was the characteristic of the " king of the gods ", errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one's popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify his qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing his weaknesses and flaws. As a result, he must be aware of the risk of over identifying with his social mask, which would cause him to neglect his inner self and deep nature.

The Sun is the second dominant in YAKI's astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the Earth and the other planets, the Sun is the primordial Light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshiped: it has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The Sun-King, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates - his planets - revolved around him. In terms of psychological symbolism, the Sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules his psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the Father and the influence of fatherhood on an individual's consciousness and ideals. As a result, the Sun's position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to his goals and ideals: what his ambitions and aspirations might involve. A person whose chart is strongly " solar " usually identifies very positively with fatherhood. His personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. He takes his own superiority and authority over others for granted, and he has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. He is a born leader, who enjoys being in the limelight, and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. He has definite artistic leanings (although he is not always " tasteful "). The sense of his ideals is evident to him and may lead him to be somewhat arrogant and even despotic towards his friends. If ill-directed, his deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

Neptune is the third dominant in YAKI's astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

This planet is the quintessential symbol of individual receptivity and the fundamental reactions of the unconscious, including the collective unconscious. Opposed to Saturn, which is the principle of form, structure, and limitation, Neptune is a principle of dissolution. It concerns any effort to encompass the greatest variety of factors, any tendency to surround and blend all the narrow, individual points of view into a single, universal sea. Psychologically, the Neptunian effect is expressed as an exceptional psychic flexibility and extreme pliancy. YAKI thus displays considerable receptivity, and availability. He feels a need for unity, a need to be related: he is also deeply aware of the importance of dreaming, and, negatively, may be prone to delusions. At certain times, YAKI is overwhelmed by a feeling of subtle confusion related to a need for " something else . " When his well-being is disturbed this way, he either yields to a sort of passive, apathetic dissatisfaction, or loses himself in the search for an imaginary world, perhaps to escape or plunge into bliss. He is sometimes captivated by a need for illusion; he would like to experience change through the intermediary of events which are vaster than consciousness and would take him far from routine and daily banality. Nevertheless, usually these fantastic dreams only make him all the more painfully aware of the realities of earthly life. His spirit and emotions emerge confused, and his will is sometimes weakened.

The Ninth House is an area of the sky which is especially important in YAKI's theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to traditional astrology, this area is ruled by Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac. Its chief attributes are moral and political judgment (laws, ethics, and politics as a means of improving society), dreams, distant journeys, studies such as religion, philosophy, priesthood, spiritual guidance, and wisdom. More specifically, we can interpret astrology as demonstrating that the life and consciousness of an individual gravitate around two fundamental principles: the Self (the Ascendant) and Others (the Descendant). In life, everything begins in us and proceeds outward, but it is reflected, experienced, and renewed by our relations with others. Indeed, once the individual grows beyond the subjective field of his ego and reaches adulthood, he must be able to adapt and modify his abilities in such a way as to fulfill a specific function in the outer world. The reference framework he uses to judge his worth is not only his personal life, but the huge complex of values, principles, and laws which regulate life in a community. The Ninth House rules this much broader framework, which includes law as well as philosophy, psychology, science, religion, mysticism, occult studies, etc. An individual with a great deal of activity in this area of his astrological chart will probably feel a strong desire for personal expansion. An idealist, he will seek out experiences which reveal knowledge and meaning to him, and give him a better indication of his purpose in living. The difficulties he is likely to face will be hidden behind what appears to be success. They may arise from his expansiveness, which is sometimes uncontrollable, or disproportionate. Although at the outset, his ambition and desire for personal development are a source of strength, they later become powerful enough to cut him off from himself. If he identifies too strongly with the flattering self-image reflected by the community, he may gradually begin to neglect his personal essence. Because this perverse tendency to confuse form with function is reinforced by modern society's emphasis on packaging and advertising, he is liable to lose himself completely. A state of expansion could be expressed as a psychic inflation (a loss of oneself in an abstract ideal, or a delusion of grandeur) or as a partial loss of himself due to over identification with his personal mask (or persona). This House thus reveals that nothing is more difficult than failure in a period of success: ambition, which may be a compensatory personal over evaluation, sometimes transforms understanding, a principle of cohesion and love, into personal power.

The Fourth House is an area of the sky which is especially important in YAKI's theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules his Rising Sign. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

Traditionally, this house is associated with the home, family, inheritance, cultural heritage, traditions, the dwelling, the native land, etc. The South Node, one boundary of the Fourth House, corresponds to the vertical line connecting the Zenith to the Nadir. The polar opposite of the North Node, the highest point on the map of the sky, the South Node is the lowest and, as a result, symbolizes the individual's past; his foundation, sources, and inner self. Within the inner self, in the intimacy of the memory and the unconscious, the individual's family and ancestral past dwell concealed, mingled with the roots of his future development. Psychoanalytic theory demonstrates that an individual's future is determined by early childhood experiences. Astrology does not contradict this assumption, when it points to the Fourth House as the basis of any social or spiritual growth. The fact that this area is significant in YAKI's chart means that he is seeking his personal center. He sometimes experiences a feeling of insecurity which inspires him to establish a stable foundation for his life. As a result, he may be reluctant to leave behind the psychic and material pattern he inherited from his biological family and lineage. Certain important crises in his life may be related to this emergence, this construction of a new home in the here-and-now. If he is able to perceive the hidden bond between his reluctance to assert himself as an individual and his roots in his family's past, he will be able to attain true stability.

Synthesis and Advice

Many people mistakenly believe that astrology is too deterministic. However, as even the ancients said, " The stars incline but do not determine. " In fact, the astral chart is evidence that each of us is accountable only to himself for his life and his destiny. Neither Heaven nor the occasional Hell of human contacts can be held responsible for the situation down here on Earth. Astrology shows us that life is what we make of it: all we really obtain is what we decide to accomplish ourselves, of our own volition.

If YAKI really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution:
- His need to bluff
- His idealism
- His inability to manage certain things
- His instability
- His unwillingness to change certain opinions

As a young man, YAKI may feel out of phase with the social conventions and belief systems regulating his community, or the ethical codes he is supposed to follow. Although, like anyone, he wants to become a productive and valuable member of society, the models of success and achievement he sees around him don't particularly inspire him, for some reason. In order for him to find his own individual way to fit in, he will have to go through a period of long, hard introspection and self examination, if he has not done so already. This intense introspection will yield a new self-image, a new identity, and a new vision of the world. It will be a turning point in his way of participating in society. Possible opportunities for introspection include a major journey, or advanced studies, etc.

For YAKI, the main goal to aim for, in order to give purpose and meaning to his life, is to train his intellectual mechanisms to go from the specific to the general, and from the down-to-earth to the abstract. It might be necessary for him to broaden his consciousness, either by learning foreign languages and developing relationships with people from different cultures, studying philosophy or religion, or traveling. He must do so with the intention of opening himself up to a variety of cultures, art forms, and ways of thinking. If he remains at the level of collecting information and facts, he will never organize and weave the disparate threads of knowledge into a rich tapestry of wisdom.
