Introduction
We know only Aloe quite well. The keynote of losing stool involuntary and unnoticed show the Subphase 7 aspect. They have a fear of being rejected, becoming an outcast, which might easily happen when they are too filthy.
But there is also a strong desire to belong to the family, to have a good marriage. But that can become too limiting for them. They need more space, more experiences from life. This desire and their expression can provoke a fear that they will be outcast, that others do not like their extravagance.
Mind
Fear: losing their place with family, friends and self-worth, everything can collapse.
