Wes Bentley
general characteristics

Wes Bentley'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).

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

Wes Bentley has a great capacity to relate to, appreciate and understand different people and points of view, and he tends to be quite liberal in his attitudes. He is primarily a thinking person who requires much intellectual and social stimulation, conversation and interaction. Wes Bentley comprehends abstract reasoning and concepts very quickly and he likes ideas, language and culture. Bentley cannot imagine being happy in a world without books, films or interesting relationships.

There is an androgynous quality to Wes, and he relates equally well to men and women, having both male and female characteristics in nearly equal measure within himself. Wes Bentley tends to see someone as a person first, rather than as a woman or a man.

Friendship is very important to his sense of well-being. Wes Bentley thrives on camaraderie, teamwork, social endeavor and sharing. However, he is also quite objective about them and there is often an impersonal touch to his relationships with others.

His mind is Bentley's real gift: thinking clearly, logically and creatively, planning and organizing efficiently, and communicating intelligently. However, Wes Bentley tends to "live in his head" - reading about, talking about, and observing life without becoming completely immersed in it. Wes should avoid becoming a dabbler. He also needs to foster constancy, stability, and depth.

As described in Chapter 3, Wes Bentley has a conservative, down-to-earth, and practical focus in life. So, while he will entertain numerous theories and listen to many people's points of view, Bentley always comes back to what is real, solid, and proven in his own experience.

As you will read in the next chapter, Wes Bentley actually comes across to others as intuitive and empathic, but (as indicated here) he is quite capable of being cool and impartial - more so than he might seem.
