Irina Spîrlea
mental interests and abilities

She is more of a poet than a rational scientist, for her mind does not function in a strictly logical, linear fashion. The language of music, art or poetry comes naturally to Irina Spîrlea, and she is also able to think in highly abstract and symbolic terms. Translating her thoughts and impressions into concrete, everyday language may be difficult for Spîrlea at times she may consequently appear less intelligent or at least less quick-witted and verbal than others. This was especially true of Irina Spîrlea as a child, and she probably daydreamed a good deal as well. She is intuitive and able to sense the thoughts and feelings of others even before they say anything to her. Irina often forms an opinion about a person or situation without much factual knowledge of them, and her impressions are usually correct. Spîrlea can be somewhat absent-minded and she becomes so immersed in her own thoughts that she overlooks things in her immediate, tangible environment. Irina Spîrlea is extremely open-minded and believes that anything is possible. Intangible or spiritual forces seem just as real to Irina Spîrlea as anything in the concrete world. Her imagination and sympathetic understanding of other people are two of her greatest gifts.

Irina has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and wisdom, and for an increasingly broad understanding of life. Irina Spîrlea is the perpetual student who will be involved in higher education, philosophy or religion. Law, broadcasting, publishing or communication are also areas of interest to Spîrlea. World travel and studying other cultures are also strong urges of hers.

Irina has a knack for establishing a rapport and communicating with people, is blessed with great interpersonal skills, and is adept at dealing with the public. Irina Spîrlea communicates concern, interest, and the ability to listen, which encourages people to open up and confide in her even if they do not know Irina well. Spîrlea fosters close relationships with others by talking to them (even gossiping will do), or by writing intimate, personal letters. Women feel that Irina Spîrlea understands them.

She enjoys philosophical speculation and theorizing about abstract ideas and concepts. Spîrlea is interested in a broad perspective, universal principles and systems, and connecting relationships and patterns - namely, she prefers to see the whole picture rather than the sum total of its components.Irina Spîrlea has a great respect and thirst for knowledge and education, and is the proverbial "perpetual student". Irina Spîrlea also has a talent for teaching and sharing her knowledge, and as a teacher, Irina presents herself as a fellow participant in the ongoing quest for understanding rather than as a figure of authority.

She may become involved in television, publishing or other fields that involve sharing ideas with large groups of people. Irina Spîrlea excels in areas that require long-range planning and foresight, and can therefore be very successful in business, but she is rather sloppy and haphazard when it comes to implementing her ideas concretely. Irina Spîrlea should leave the details to someone else. Travel or long-distance contacts and communication will play a major role in her life and work.

Her mind is highly imaginative and creative and she possesses dramatic, artistic or musical abilities. As a child, Irina Spîrlea enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing and pretending, and probably lived in "her own little world" a good deal. She perceives things that are not obvious to other people and Irina Spîrlea has an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations without being told anything about them. However, Irina Spîrlea must learn to discriminate between true psychic perception and her imagination. Learning to discipline and focus her mind is necessary if Spîrlea wishes to use all of her creative potential. Otherwise, Irina Spîrlea could be simply a dreamer.

Communication with others is difficult for Irina Spîrlea because she often finds words frustrating and inadequate to express her experiences and perceptions. Also, Irina may purposefully mystify or deceive others.

Irina Spîrlea has a probing, penetrating mind and in her view, nothing is as simple, innocent, or straightforward as it appears. She may not totally understand the undercurrents she perceives, the secret machinations, the dark underside of a person or situation - but she is intrigued by them and Irina sometimes cannot stop thinking about them. Once Spîrlea's interest has been piqued, she can become obsessed with getting to the bottom of the matter. At times Irina Spîrlea makes more of something than is actually the case, like assigning dark, convoluted motives to a person where none exist.

Irina Spîrlea has a talent for organizing and the ability to sum up conditions quickly. She is curious and inquisitive, but tends to criticize others and to interfere in everything. Irina has to learn to fight the tendency of finding fault with others.
