Rudy Giuliani
Date of Birth: May 28, 1944
GeminiRUDY's personality is mind-oriented. Thus, language and symbolic expression, written or oral, are his primary resources in life, although they are also potential pitfalls. His eloquence, wit, and verve, his mastery of lanlanguage, unquestionably give him power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). But taken to extremes, this fffaculty may lead to incoherent babbling.
Finding a partner for play within himself in many cases, he sometimes amuses himself by acting out a variety of roles on the stage of life, just for the fun of it. His animation and wit give him a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability is a two-bladed sword. He is liable to find himself in a superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in order to move about more freely. RUDY is also sensitive, but his emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of his intellect.
Wary of his irrational instincts and urges, he tends to control or repress them. But he will have to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a complex inner world, RUDY sometimes feels vulnerable, due to his emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer world. Because he relies first and foremost on his adaptability and agility to wriggle out of trouble, he may, on certain occasions, make rather dubious compromises with himself - all the more likely if his moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the case, instead of steel. The weaknesses he must overcome are instability, wishy-washiness, a lack of determination and coherence in his thought.
These contradictory influences form a character subject to split personality. One side of RUDY is flexible, agile, blithe, and perhaps even frivolous, whereas at other times, a cagey, materialistic spirit may make him possessive and perhaps even miserly. Attitudes and opinions which appear to be weighty and purposeful turn out to be weak and flimsy. His firmest convictions are subject to influence from the outer environment.
Due to his past, he refuses tried-and-true models, is always fighting to justify his innovative viewpoints, and tends to break away from tradition. He is hardly ever aware that he is making career and lifestyle choices which are based on an urge to modify his relationship to society, and the rigid standards and models from the past.
RUDY is self-centered and sees everything in relation to himself. Individualistic and fairly egotistical, he finds he is rarely of the same opinion as others, and may tend to isolate himself from the outer world.
RUDY is a realist: he approaches life pragmatically, and even his feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. He bases his judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, he takes pride in his own endeavors, and has a personal concept of his productivity. His possessions help him assert himself as an individual and act as an antidote to his feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy him more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, he becomes attached to anything which offers him certainty.
RUDY must work harder than others to understand other people's feelings. In fact, this relative lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors his own difficulty in understanding his own feelings and emotional needs.
He is not insensitive, but he is baffled by his own emotions. He sees the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, he may appear to be gruff. He is rarely able to sustain a rewarding relationship. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would be more respectful of other people's feelings.
He has a strong desire for emotional independence, and tends to discount other people's emotional needs. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others is unconscious; because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although he offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure him out of his emotional bind, he himself is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because his loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
RUDY is a free thinker and individualist who is convinced that his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative lifestyle. His passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism, sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an uncompromising, authoritarian, and arrogant partner. He should learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.
An eloquent speaker and compulsive charmer, RUDY has a powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make him seem arrogant or smug. He cares a great deal about his reputation, and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the people around him. Fond of social events and parties, he likes to be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests. Indeed, he has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general. He enjoys displaying his generosity, but he also displays a short temper at times; he is easily offended. His partner will have to be a brilliant woman, strong and sure of herself, devoted to her hero and capable of enhancing his reputation.
RUDY's intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, he does not always avail himself of it, and may be confused or irrational in some situations. Although he enjoys playing with words, ideas, and concepts, his thought rarely dips below the surface, and sometimes lacks discipline and structure. He is fairly preoccupied with details, and may tend to waste his nervous and mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, his feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and people, which may cause him to make errors in judgment.
RUDY maintains strong ties with his past, and it often seems difficult for him to open his heart to new people. His love affairs often remain shallow and superficial, because his lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for him to meet women who combine the feminine ideals of the tender mother and the sexy mistress.
His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood, which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother who was loving, indulgent, and generous with herself.
RUDY has a lively, sparkling personality which wins him a multitude of amorous successes. Ruled at times by a narcissistic longing, he is attracted to exceptionally beautiful or socially prominent women. From conquest to conquest, affair to affair, his emotional life may be a series of brief flashes of love which prove to be disappointingly fleeting. But, one day, he may allow himself to be subjugated by a woman with a strong personality, powerful ambition, and a great deal of influence on him.
RUDY expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. He is fairly extroverted, and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, he looks forward to a bright future, but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
As an intellectual, RUDY has a curiosity so lively it borders on the inquisitorial. His interest in dark secrets and hidden knowledge leads him to do all sorts of arcane research. He is both sensitive and pragmatic, with an intuition so keen he seems to be able to sniff out and expose the complex, mysterious inner workings of both systems and individuals. Although he is sometimes unable to express the findings of his investigations clearly, he is nevertheless an expert in symbols, hieroglyphics, runes, and other codes and ciphers. Rather ironic and sometimes cynical, he strikes out with his venomous wit the way a poisonous snake neutralizes its prey. His doubts and uncertainties may sometimes lead to nearly unbearable anxiety or anguish. Moreover, the people he associates with may sometimes have a negative influence on him, and he should be wary of questionable or illicit transactions. He is more prone to misjudgment than others, especially in matters concerning the exchange of large sums of money.
RUDY possesses a prodigious ability to fight for his goals and accomplish them. However, depending on how he applies it, it can lead to the best or worst results. If he commits himself to a noble ideal or experiment or a daring adventure, it will yield remarkable career achievements. However, it can also be a source of anger and intolerance, if it is committed to the defense of his own pride and arrogance.
RUDY does not always have a clear and precise vision of what he is capable of doing, or of what he really wants to do. He is ready to commit himself to ideals and causes which he appreciates personally, but the people around him sometimes disapprove of or scoff at these schemes. As a result, some of the people close to him criticize him for being unrealistic, because they do not understand his deepest motivations.. He is especially intrigued by the realm of the unknown, the mysterious, and the strange, and is likely to engage in activities which are highly unconventional. Nevertheless, he must be careful not to set in motion forces which will escape his control. He might satisfy his craving for the fantastic by devoting himself to such arts as theater, photography, or film.
RUDY's behavior and attitude are unique. He is sometimes excessive, and tends to be short-tempered; he may quickly become aggressive if he encounters the slightest opposition or resistance. Determined and obstinate in the pursuit of his goals, he is sometimes disappointed when he realizes that the object of his desire no longer interests him once he has attained it. Because his will mingles with his personal desire, he tends to be motivated by a quest for his own personal satisfaction, and sometimes finds it difficult to commit himself to activities which do not concern him personally.
. He takes his own superiority and authority over others for granted, and he has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. He is a born leader, who enjoys being in the limelight, and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. He has definite artistic leanings (although he is not always "tasteful "). The sense of his ideals is evident to him and may lead him to be somewhat arrogant and even despotic towards his friends. If ill-directed, his deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.
If RUDY really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution: - His shallowness bordering on superficiality - His lack of sincerity - His indifference - His frivolity - His fear of commitment
RUDY's fierce individualism will promote independent and original behavior. He tends to lack team spirit. On the contrary, he needs to feel free and untrammeled by others to be really effective.
RUDY is motivated by a thirst for power which gives him a certain authority. He has a feeling he is leadership material. However, he has a tendency to infringe on other people's freedom, and he may initiate troublesome power struggles.
Because he trusts in himself and his convictions, RUDY has personality and presence. He is quite sure of himself, and may tend to be rather smug and self-satisfied, although this does not eliminate his need for other people's approval and recognition.
Because he is often in a positive frame of mind, RUDY finds it easy to make decisions, and is only rarely hindered by negative feelings or anxiety. However, his optimism may lead him to overestimate his own potential, and makes him liable to misjudgment.
RUDY's thought processes rarely follow the laws of logical reasoning or linear thought; instead, they proceed from an overall vision, which is pieced together from more or less obscure and subconscious clues.
RUDY continually needs excitement and action. He is fairly fluctuating and faithless, and may abandon a project or commitment as soon as boredom sets in, to move on to a more exciting experience.
