Shauna Grant
general characteristics

Shauna Grant'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).

Grant's "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Shauna is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that she 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.

Shauna Grant often overlooks, ignores, or seems oblivious to the emotional aspects of a situation, focusing instead on "what needs to be done" in a straightforward and somewhat impersonal way. Grant can seem unfeeling or even callous. She is actually more likely to simply be uncomfortable and uncertain as to how to respond when confronted with a great outpouring of emotion or with needs that are emotional and subtle rather than physical and tangible.

She also tends to distrust feelings, intuitive perceptions, or anything outside the realm of the concrete and rational. In other words, if Grant cannot see it or touch it, she is likely to discount it.

Unless Shauna Grant learns to appreciate and open up to her own and others' feelings and inner experience, she is likely to live a rather dry existence, missing out on much of the richness of deep personal relationships and emotional intimacy.

Shauna Grant should beware of allowing her responsibilities or work to dominate her life to the extent that she forgets to emotionally nourish herself and her loved ones.

As discussed in more detail in Chapter 3, Shauna Grant also requires ample intellectual and/or social stimulation. At heart she is an idealist, but not a foolish or fanciful one. Shauna could thus be characterized as a practical idealist. Shauna Grant is blessed with the ability to test her theories and put them into practice, take ideas or mental images and give them form, and relate to people's ideas without losing her common sense.
