Zooey Deschanel
general characteristics

Zooey Deschanel'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).

Deschanel's "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Zooey 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.

Her common sense and her ability to make use of, enjoy and effectively handle the physical world are Zooey's greatest strengths. She is down-to-earth and capable of managing practical affairs, working and taking care of the business of day-to-day living very well. Zooey Deschanel has a strong urge to be useful and productive. For Deschanel, the bottom line is practicality: Does it work? Is it functional? What practical purpose does it serve? Theories and speculations mean little to Zooey Deschanel unless there is some concrete purpose, some way to use them in the real world.

She is methodical and enjoys, even thrives on, a steady routine. Her first response to anything novel or experimental is caution, resistance, or skepticism. Fundamentally conservative, Zooey Deschanel usually makes the best of the status quo rather than venturing into the unknown or making changes that could jeopardize her security in any way. Material security is particularly important to Zooey and her sense of well-being is directly linked with financial assets or knowing that she has a steady, reliable source of income. Zooey Deschanel may hold herself back or pass over opportunities simply because she cannot control or know the outcome ahead of time. Patience and persistence are her gifts, and Deschanel builds her life on a firm foundation through discipline, work and planning.

Zooey Deschanel also has a deep affinity for the natural world and needs to be close to the earth (gardening, camping or working with her hands using natural materials) in order to be at her best.

She is likely to be overly humble or unsure of herself and to look to others for inspiration, motivation, reinforcement and approval. Tending to be somewhat passive, Zooey Deschanel must learn how to take initiative and motivate herself.

A lack of warmth (either physical, emotional or both) may be evident in Deschanel and can manifest physically as a low energy level, paleness and lack of color in the skin, or a tendency to be easily chilled. Emotionally, it can be reflected in a marked coolness or aloofness with little spiritedness, joyfulness, or enthusiasm for living. Eating warming, spicy foods, living in a warm, sunny place, and using fire in her daily life (lighting candles, using a wood stove or fireplace for heat) can help balance Zooey. Also, spending time with warm, cheerful, positive-minded people and developing a philosophy based on spiritual optimism can stir up Zooey's own zest for life.

On the positive side, Zooey Deschanel is unlikely to be egocentric and has a capacity for ample patience and peacefulness.

Zooey Deschanel tends to lack the ability to analyze herself or her life in a detached, objective way. Zooey feels and experiences but does not necessarily understand or reflect upon her experience, and thus finds it hard to talk about it. Really taking in what someone else has to say can be hard for Zooey Deschanel - she does not readily adapt to new ideas or people, and as a result may become inflexible or limit her experience of life. Broadening her education and gaining exposure to different cultures is very beneficial to Zooey. Otherwise she is apt to be rigid and even prejudiced against those outside her own circle. (This may be manifested in arthritic conditions, poor flexibility, or poor circulation).

She also tends to distrust people who communicate freely or to feel inferior to those who are more articulate and intellectual than she is. Zooey Deschanel learns much more readily by watching, doing or apprenticing than by reading or being told about something.
