The relative strength of this aspect depends on how exact it is; that is given by the "strength" and "orb" in the header above this reading in your own personalized book You and the Universe. The unconscious part of you that you reject in yourself and/or project onto others—your "shadow"—becomes activated and illuminated (made more conscious) in your relationships to men, authority figures, and your father. Your relationships are very intense, and put you and your partners through a lot of changes. You feel you have something very special to accomplish, and therefore want to shape and control your own destiny through the use of your will. In order not to operate in a vacuum, however, you need to link your special, individual purpose to some socially relevant need.

In this incarnation your relationships are your arena for learning the limits of personal power. Depending on your karmic situation, you may have had either a dominating, intimidating father, or one whose very life symbolized that reality is what we make it, and that you can do anything if you commit yourself to what you want to become. You may identify with larger-than-life figures who stand for social power or who have transcended society entirely.
