Pope John XXIII
in Relationships

Serious and responsible, he tries to carry the world on his shoulders and rarely lets others know that he needs help and support. Pope John XXIII denies or ignores his own emotional needs and feels that others will not accept him if he appears "weak". He is especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and tells himself and others (even children) not to be a "baby". Pope John XXIII needs to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with his "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, he may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. His feelings and loyalties run deep, but he often does not let people know how much he cares. Pope John XXIII also sometimes needs to learn to relax, enjoy himself, and play.

Pope John XXIII has a soft exterior and tends to relate very personally and sympathetically to other people. However, Pope John XXIII sometimes lets his emotions overpower his reasoning and logic, and consequently he is sometimes biased in his opinions. Pope John XXIII is impressionable and rather gentle, or at least that is the way he appears. His feelings are on the surface and Pope John XXIII cannot hide his emotions.

He is easygoing, agreeable and tolerant, willing to overlook others' mistakes, forget the past, and begin anew on a positive note. He enjoys making others comfortable and happy, and he sometimes overdoes his generosity. Pope John XXIII often feels that "everything will turn out all right no matter what I do", thereby becoming lazy and lackadaisical.

He is uninhibited and spontaneous and will often do something unexpected or humorous in order to loosen people up and get them out of their rut. Pope John XXIII craves emotional stimulation, excitement, surprises and anything new. Angelo Roncalli also loves to feel free and unfettered.

In love relationships, Pope John XXIII desires a deep, intense and passionate union with his beloved and forms very strong emotional bonds and attachments. Pope John XXIII "marries" the person he loves at a very deep emotional level, and is often extremely possessive and jealous of anyone who may pose a threat to that union. Angelo Roncalli can be very demanding of his love partner. Pope John XXIII tends to be somewhat suspicious of his partner's relationships, even if they are merely platonic. If he is ever betrayed, Pope John XXIII is capable of hating with as much force and intensity as he once loved. He is attracted to people who have an aura of mystery about them.

Promoting beauty, the arts, or entertainment can make Pope John XXIII very happy. Pope John XXIII wants to contribute something positive and loving to the world at large and he wants to be recognized for his beauty, artistic gifts, or loving generosity. Pope John XXIII may "marry" his work - that is, being more involved in his career than in his private life. Angelo Roncalli is a natural host or diplomat.

Pope John XXIII is warmly romantic and he openly expresses his appreciation and love of the opposite sex, though rarely in a crude or insensitive manner. He enjoys playing matchmaker and bringing people together romantically. Angelo Roncalli is likely to find fulfillment and harmony in love relationships because he knows what he wants and needs in a romantic sense and expresses his desires honestly.

Pope John XXIII tends to be attracted to people who are not quite what they seem. Gullible, romantic and rather easily seduced, Pope John XXIII frequently falls in love with an image in his own mind, which he then projects onto the object of his affections, only to discover later that this person never really had the lovely qualities he endowed her with. Pope John XXIII also confuses love relationships with pity, sacrifice, or misplaced notions of "selfishness", thereby setting himself up to be taken advantage of. He is capable of great devotion to a spiritual cause, for he is actually seeking some sort of transcendent or mystical experience through love.

He may be caught in a conflict between caution and optimism frequently, resulting in restlessness and discontentment. In love relationships, Pope John XXIII could feel controlled, rejected or not accepted at times, and at other times experience great ease, happiness and content.

His energy and initiative seem to be a bit weak and could frequently inhibit Pope John XXIII's sex life. His unrealistic ideals about relationships could lead to disillusionment, and Pope John XXIII may feel that real mortals are disappointing, and prefer his fantasies.
