Introduction
The main problem is about love and passion. They feel very much in love, have the feeling of butterflies in the abdomen. They can also be very erotic with it, very sexual. They are often very much on a high, in a dreamy fantasy world of love. It can be as if they are not realistic, not grounded, too much elated. They can be so much in love that they get abused by a man or woman. They are too open for the other sex. They are very passionate, can be in love in a dramatic way. They can be very sexual, attractive, magnetic. They can even be somewhat hysterical, with laughing alternating with weeping. They can be very romantic and dreamy.
They can easily seduce others or they can be seduced into a relationship that they do not want. It is as if they have been taken over, that their will is put aside. They can feel it as if someone penetrates their body and takes over. They do not want to become intellectual for fear that it will bring them out of their loving state.
Individuality Self
They want to follow their own way but are often hindered. Social convention can make their relationship difficult; people in power want to decide for them what is best. Their love can be forbidden or impossible, leading to situations like “Romeo and Juliet”. Or their lover decides for them what to do, so that they cannot go their own way. They want to discover what they really want for themselves but that is often hard for them to discern. They can have the feeling that they cannot be themselves. They feel unappreciated in their love, not allowed to be who they are.
Social constraints
They feel that they cannot live their love completely. They fear that society or their family will not approve of their relationship. They feel that their love is not allowed. They feel blocked. It is the story of Romeo and Juliet.
When they feel really blocked they can retreat into themselves and do not want to talk anymore, they even do not want to see anyone anymore. They retreat in their grief.
