Billy Wilder
general characteristics

Billy Wilder's fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).

Wilder's "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Billy is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that he needs to consciously develop that particular aspect in order to appreciate and/or work harder in that dimension of life.

Sometimes we overestimate the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following pages.

Finding his life's work - a concrete means of self-expression - and discovering his place in the world is one of his fundamental challenges. Billy Wilder tends to feel out of place in the world, with no solid sense of security. Billy Wilder often lives in the private world of his imagination and though he may have a very rich inner life, Wilder has the tendency to avoid doing anything productive with it. The more prosaic, material side of life either baffles or disinterests him, yet Billy needs to develop this side of himself.

Constancy, patience, and practicality are qualities that Wilder needs to cultivate.

His outward behavior, which - as we shall see in the next chapter - is rather lighthearted and rational in nature, can be very deceiving since, overall, Billy Wilder is quite an emotional, deeply feeling, often irrational person.
