Empath to Ruler Part II

In plain terms, if they can learn to be more guarded or detached, perhaps even sometimes a little emotionally cold, they will make progress; if not, they will continue to flounder until they learn to muster a tougher brand of objectivity. Here, being a ruler implies learning to rule the fortress of self.

In establishing a firm identity for themselves, they will have to learn to identify and fearlessly express what they really believe and feel, sticking to their guns and refusing to vacillate when challenged. Taking responsibility for one’s own feelings and being honest about them will lead to their learning more straightforward approaches to having their feelings acknowledged or honored. Their background is often such that emotional blackmail or manipulation is second nature to them. Here is a pattern that must be dealt with ruthlessly. They tend to seek out people who will nurture them in a motherly fashion. Often, subconsciously, they mother others out of a feeling that they will be mothered in return. This often leads to disappointment and anger when their own needs are not met.

 Part of their life journey may involve channeling their sensitivity into artistic expression. By redirecting it into a physical form and structuring it via the development of a skill or craft, they may be able to operate in more practical terms. Usually, creativity can be both a method of managing feelings and an eloquent form of expression. Understanding will occur by virtue of the fact that creating art can be an act of detachment and objectivity.


  Ultimately, whether in business, the arts, or service, they are promised great career success. Implicit is a focus on the creation of structure, not just within individuals but also in the outer world. Once they have created a firm strong sense of self and determined what they want, they may be unstoppable. Combining their strong intuitive and psychic ability with their tremendous capacity to get things done, those who evolve successfully are sure to make their mark on the world. Though they may never become so ruthless that they strive to rise to the top of the corporate ladder, their projects will always achieve results. They possess a certain financial astuteness, and they will put this talent to good use—once their judgment is no longer clouded by their emotions.

    The best kinds of people for them to spend time with are other strong­-minded, independent people who will strengthen their ego-building process.

And despite becoming stronger in their sense of self, they will still need to find a special someone to whom they can expose their more sensitive side. Thus, the choice of a partner is crucial and particularly difficult since their discrimination in this area is not good. Tending to be ruled by emotion and, in love, falling back into codependency, they will usually make a few disastrous choices before ultimately finding the right partner. More conscious or evolved friends, those who do not judge or take advantage and who understand the wonderfully broad palette of human psychology, are best for them. Ideally, their friends will point out their excesses and encourage these sensitive people to stand up for themselves.
