He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Ayrton's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Ayrton Senna himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Ayrton Senna is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Ayrton Senna is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Senna probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Senna's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties.

Ayrton Senna is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Ayrton Senna needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Senna's work or outside social activities.

Ayrton Senna is extremely sensitive to all the impressions and energies around him and at times can be overcome or dominated by more forceful personalities. Learning to establish clear boundaries is important for him, as Ayrton Senna tends to become enmeshed emotionally and/or psychically with whomever he is with.
