Mind
Suppressed by family or partners, by a tyrannical and alcoholic father or a nasty stepmother. The theme of Cinderella, who is special but disrespected, not seen in her glory. They feel neglected, used, abused, despised, being treated as an outcast. Often they are maltreated and abused by their father.
They feel special, like a princess. They can be a spiritual and intellectual authority. They have the idea that they have good insight, are creative and can tell people essential things. But often they are not seen as special, they are unappreciated for who they are. They can feel humiliated, put down or belittled. Or they can start doing it to themselves.
Restlessness, always on the move.
