Cherríe Moraga
in Relationships

Open and generous, Cherríe Moraga enjoys a wide circle of friends and acquaintances and she thrives on sociability and fellowship. She is adventurous, playful, freedom loving, and always ready for a good time. Moraga rarely allows obstacles or difficulties to keep her down, for no matter how bleak the past or present, Cherríe always expects a better, brighter future. In fact, she is uncomfortable with her own or other people's problems and emotional pain. Cherríe Moraga often tries to "cheer up" or offer philosophical advice to those who are hurting, but she unwittingly avoids or ignores the emotions involved.

Friendship means a great deal to Moraga, perhaps even more than love relationships or romance. For Cherríe Moraga to be happy, her mate must be her best friend and encourage Cherríe's aspirations and ideals. Cherríe Moraga also needs a great deal of emotional freedom and mobility.

She is likely to be a great collector of things - a real pack rat in fact - for her belongings give Cherríe Moraga a sense of security and continuity with the past, which is important to her. Antiques or things with sentimental value from Cherríe's past are especially dear to her.

Cherríe Moraga may also cling rather tightly to money and possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing freely with those outside of her immediate circle.

Cherríe Moraga feels that she must always be doing something, and she becomes impatient and irritable if she has to slow down or wait for anything. A stormy home life may be the result of her own tendency to fight for what she wants, rather than compromise. Cherríe may not realize how competitive she is.

Although she is impetuous and easily provoked (as mentioned above), Cherríe Moraga also has a good-natured, live-and-let-live attitude and a sense of humor, which balances it all out. While hotheaded at times, she is usually a good sport.

She is prone to be overly indulgent, overly permissive, overly generous, and disinclined to budget or diet or set reasonable limits for herself or others. Subconsciously Cherríe Moraga feels entitled to bounty, and sees no reason to be deprived. At her worst Moraga can be greedy but insatiable, and addicted to "the good life". However, if other factors in her chart indicate a capacity for discipline and prudence, there is a positive side to Cherríe's emotional indulgence - Moraga tends to be quite charitable and tolerant, freely giving and willing to embrace others despite their shortcomings.

Although Moraga gets hot under the collar rather easily (as mentioned above), she also has a certain degree of emotional self-control and composure, which enable Cherríe Moraga to rein in some of her more aggressive tendencies. This side of her is described below.

There is another side to Cherríe Moraga as well, a rather introverted, self-contained, even pessimistic side which tempers her good cheer and generosity, as discussed below.

She is dedicated to the people she cares about and conscientious about meeting her responsibilities, especially to family. Family solidarity and cohesiveness are very important to Cherríe Moraga and so, therefore, are the traditions, rituals, and memories that keep the bonds strong.

Cherríe Moraga is apt to do more than her fair share in the family, to go the extra mile, but for the most part this is satisfying rather than burdensome to her.

In addition to Cherríe's rather introverted, serious or self-contained side, she has a wild streak and urge for emotional freedom that breaks through erratically. Cherríe Moraga craves both stability and excitement, and the conflict between these two impulses can make Moraga rather tense and irritable. However, they can also balance each other out. Her freer and unpredictable side will now be described.

Cherríe Moraga tends to have strange quirks, idiosyncrasies, or domestic habits, and she may feel that she does not fit in with "normal" people. These could be endearing eccentricities, or truly outlandish tastes and behavior. Establishing a steady routine and rhythm in her life and relationships would be very beneficial but may not be easily achieved. Ideally Cherríe Moraga can create a unique lifestyle that affords her a lot of personal space, freedom, and flexibility to follow her own somewhat erratic rhythms - while at the same time providing some order and consistency. There is a current of emotional discontent or restlessness within Cherríe also, which may be reflected in unstable personal relationships of the on again/off again variety. Cherríe Moraga craves change and excitement whether she realizes it consciously or not.

Although Cherríe Moraga was portrayed above as being assertive and combative, she also has a diametrically opposed tendency - namely the urge to escape all contention and ugliness. This may mellow Cherríe's fiery reactions somewhat, or she may seesaw between the two. Her softer side is described in the following paragraphs.

Cherríe Moraga tends to surround herself with people who are gentle, sensitive, peace-loving, and artistically or spiritually inclined, and there is a strong element of mutual compassion and sympathy in her personal relationships. It is easy for Cherríe to tune in psychically to other people's feelings and emotional worlds. Cherríe Moraga may share this type of telepathic link with her mother, sisters, or female friends in particular.

She enjoys emotional intensity and is attracted to the mysterious, the unknown, and dangerous or challenging experiences that draw on all of her inner resources. She is able to handle an emotional crisis very well and is interested in the underlying root of emotional problems and how to cure them. Cherríe Moraga insists on bringing feelings between people out into the open, for she craves real closeness and intimacy in her relationships, without barriers or secrets.

Cherríe Moraga tends to be emotional inhibited when she is with others and therefore appear rather aloof. Although she may feel lonely, Cherríe is inclined to flee from crowds of people and to give the impression of needing protection.

Cherríe Moraga possesses the gifts of tact, courtesy and consideration, and has a strong desire to please and understand her love partner. Because she values harmony so highly, Cherríe Moraga will compromise a great deal to avoid any discord or conflict in her relationships. Cherríe does not like to dwell on controversial or emotional subjects and often tries to "smooth things over" or "sweep them under the rug".

In love relationships, Cherríe Moraga wants an intellectual peer, an equal and a friend. She is attracted to people who have a certain finesse, delicacy and subtlety. Cherríe Moraga appreciates good manners and refinement and is not happy with coarseness or bluntness in a person.

Cherríe Moraga often hides her affection, or finds her feelings difficult to express or get across to the person she loves. Being openly affectionate and trusting often does not seem safe to Cherríe. She may feel her love will not be appreciated or reciprocated. Cherríe Moraga may get involved in secret love relationships or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to her. Love and sacrifice often seem to go hand in hand for Cherríe Moraga - having to give something up to be with the one she loves, or having to relinquish some person or some aspect of an important love relationship.

She is very romantic, idealistic and imaginative about love relationships. Cherríe Moraga yearns for her "true love" or "soul mate" and may become disappointed in those who never quite live up to her dream image of the perfect lover. Moraga frequently fantasizes about love and often falls in love with someone she can only love from afar. She may avoid making a definite personal commitment. Gentle and sensitive, Cherríe Moraga does not like to be approached in a very direct or aggressive manner. She is attracted to those with artistic or mystical inclinations.

Her association with those around she may have a depressing influence on Cherríe Moraga causing her to shy away from relationships of any kind. Finding it difficult to express herself emotionally, she is quite likely to become a loner.

Cherríe Moraga tends to be somewhat hypocritical and artificial and may even fool herself at times. Her desires are likely to be a bit unrealistic and she may tries to hide her deception from others as well as from herself.
