Themes
They may find the hustle and bustle of life easily overwhelming (Theme: Task too big for me).
They may prefer solitude to the noise and attention they may find in groups (Theme: Withdrawn).
Although being a part of the group is very important, (Theme: Rejected) They do not like being the centre of attention and this makes them very uncomfortable.
The Sheep are perennial nurturers (Theme: Good Samaritan).
They remain calm in all situations and love to take care of other people (Theme: Remaining calm).
They are very much like their animal counterpart: gentle, easy going, content and peaceful.
For sheep, their two areas of sensitivity are to feeling inadequate and to being rejected by the group. They are very task-oriented, meaning that life is about doing what is expected of you.
There is a sense that they will not be able to live up to expectations and that they will let people down as they try to perform their job. Inside is the feeling that they are inadequate and they will try their hardest to hide this. They work very hard and are often overwhelmed (Theme: Hurried).
They may be kind at heart, but they are not always mentally sharp (Theme: Low energy).
They often feel that things are hopeless and they are trying to do too much in too little time. This brings out their pessimistic side, that tends to give up in situations that feel too big for them. In the end, they feel overwork and they may find themselves exhausted (Theme: Low Energy) as their capabilities fall short of the mark.
In a flock of grazing sheep there is little or no sign of dominance. In small domestic flocks, sheep will compete for small amounts of food by pushing and shoving rather than active bunting. For the sensitive sheep they expect equality within the group and they will get irritated if they are left to do more than others (Theme: Equality). However, they fear being kicked out of the group and will tolerate being uncomfortable (Theme: Gentle, not complain) in order to offend anyone.
Feeling of being forsaken (Theme: Forsaken) and the conflict between two wills, one their “bad” instinctual animals side and the other their “good” human side (Theme: Two wills). They also have feelings of self-disgust (Theme: Disgust).
