Thomas Huxley
in Relationships

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

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

He is emotionally expressive and often dramatizes his feelings, acting them out or blowing them out of proportion. Thomas Huxley cannot hide his instinctive emotional reactions to people or situations, and he does not make any pretenses about his personal sympathies or antipathies.

Thomas Huxley has a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others, but which sometimes gets him into trouble, as Thomas takes risks on impulse or whim.

He needs love, affection, nurturing and enjoys being pampered - all of which is fine, as long as Thomas Huxley is willing to give as well as receive the attention and "babying". Thomas has a rather childish dependency on loved ones, which can make him cling to them, or be very uncomfortable with any conflict that could conceivably lead to separation. Creating a loving family is certainly a challenge for Thomas - one that can be enormously satisfying if he can achieve it, and a source of great sadness if he cannot.

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. Thomas Huxley often feels that "everything will turn out all right no matter what I do", thereby becoming lazy and lackadaisical.

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

Some rather acute fears of being excluded, rejected, left out in the cold or separated from loved ones can make Thomas Huxley either extremely cautious about getting close to people or clingy toward whoever gives him any warmth or security. Thomas Huxley tends to withhold and clamp down on many of his feelings and craves nurturing and security, perhaps feeling that they are unacceptable or will never be satisfied. Learning to be open and trust others to nurture him is important to him. His earliest years, especially Huxley's relationships with his mother, will determine whether Thomas Huxley will overcome his fears or retreat behind a mask of self-sufficiency and indifference.

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

He is inclined to identify duty and happiness with each other. Self-disciplined and realistic, Thomas Huxley expects very little. Once he has found his mate, Thomas Huxley will be faithful, self-sacrificing and strongly attached to his partner.

In a love relationship, Thomas Huxley is more interested in the person's sense of humor and intelligence than in her physique. Thomas likes a partner who is mentally alive and keeps him guessing and Thomas Huxley becomes restless and bored with someone who never asks questions, changes or surprises him. It is very important to Thomas Huxley's happiness to talk, share ideas, go places together and learn new things together. Thomas Huxley needs ample social stimulation, is somewhat of a flirt, and likes to have many friends of both sexes. Huxley finds a possessive, jealous partner very stifling.

Huxley is a very sociable, congenial person and he wilts very quickly without relationships with good friends and people to share good times with. Thomas Huxley thoroughly enjoys working with others on group projects or community activities. He is quite happy when he is a part of a club, support group, or team of some sort.

Thomas Huxley loves to laugh, celebrate, and to enjoy himself with his companions. Emotionally open and easygoing, Thomas considers just about anyone a friend or potential friend. His good humor and friendliness make him quite popular and well-liked. At times, Thomas Huxley overdoes the festivities, but he rarely regrets this.

Thomas' pleasure-loving nature and his emotional and material generosity discussed above are counterbalanced by a certain caution or restraint in expressing his affection, and by a fear of heartache. At times Thomas Huxley is likely to be the jovial, friendly, rather extravagant person mentioned previously, but at other times he is far more contained as described here. Because he is upbeat and fun-loving, people probably do not suspect how sensitive Huxley is to being left out or unappreciated.

Intimacy does not come easily to Thomas Huxley and he may appear cold or unfeeling to others due to his emotional reserve and caution. Perhaps due to painful relationships and separations in his early life, Huxley does not trust others very easily and it takes a long time to break down all of his barriers and defenses. He may feel that he has few friends or people that really care about him. Thomas Huxley needs to learn to value and love himself more and to express his appreciation for others more openly.

His romantic relationships tend to be deep, intense, passionate, and highly emotional. It is "all or nothing" with him. Oftentimes Thomas Huxley is irresistibly attracted to someone and feels that he has very little choice or control over his powerful feelings.

He may well be highly magnetic and sexually attractive himself. Thomas Huxley should beware of using this power to manipulate people, for he could gain the reputation of being a "user".

Thomas has the ability to share the abundance of love he feels with many people. But there also is a very strong self-indulgent streak in Huxley, and he has to be careful not to eat or drink too much and feel bad as a result of it.

His feelings are very rich and Thomas Huxley has an enormous capacity to express his love. He is very cordial and likely to experience happiness in love relationships. Thomas Huxley may also have artistic aspirations or aims and could be very successful in some kind of artistic work.
