Aaron Copland
motivation

Although Aaron Copland appears conservative, polite and unassuming (as described on the previous page), at heart he is very strong-willed and passionate. His cool, refined exterior masks a raw and intense nature, as discussed below.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Aaron Copland is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Aaron Copland usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Aaron Copland also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Aaron Copland commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Aaron merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Copland has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Aaron will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Aaron does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Copland can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Copland can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Aaron Copland emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Aaron Copland loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Aaron never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Aaron Copland tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

The urge to learn and communicate is essential to Aaron Copland, and he expresses himself very well through writing, teaching or sharing ideas and information. Copland is persuasive and fluent with language.

Restless and inquisitive, Aaron enjoys being mobile and taking short trips and excursions in order to see for himself what is going on in the world around him.

Aaron Copland often feels that he is at cross purposes with himself, for his conscious intentions and desires conflict with his subconscious emotional needs and drives. He is torn in two different directions. Aaron has difficulty satisfying both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Aaron sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to him or what Aaron really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

He is direct, energetic, sometimes aggressive and combative. Aaron Copland often feels that he needs to fight to get what he wants, and he tends to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. He is hasty, restless, impatient and sometimes reckless.

Aaron Copland has a great need for security which he may seek in a partner who could be older than him and perhaps married before. Aaron Copland probably feels restrained in expressing affection, giving the impression of being cool and indifferent toward those he loves.
