Juniper Personality Profile

The Juniper personality is radical in that they have no concern for human authority, preferring to be directed by their intuition or religious belief.

They have a reverence for anything sacred and will inevitably take a spiritual path through life - Whatever form that may take. As children they may be drawn to the church or other spiritual places, without knowing why and even if their parents never go to them.

One young man I had as a patient always had the desire to go to church but was never taken by his parents so joined the local youth centre held in the church hall and would pop into evensong service every day on his way home from college - and his mparents never knew a thing!

The Juniper personality doesn't consciously seek out spiritual places, but just seems drawn to them. The Juniper personalityhas a profound spiritual ease, which is obvious to all who come ointo contact with them.

This doesn't mean that they are religious fanatics, in fact they may never tell you how they feel about spiritual matters, apparently feeling this is a private matter between them and God. This spiritual thread runs through everything Juniper does through life.

Juniper is also a personality of Spring - of things fresh and new. To others, it sometimes appears that Junipers are immature because they take such a delight in new experiences and knowledge. This is a mis-judgement.

However because Junipers are simply not afraid to enjoy themselves in a way that expresses their delight.

They rejoice in simple pleasures like meeting new people, taking a trip to the country, having a drink with friendsor lunch with the family.Although these things would have been experienced many times before, each time is like the first to them, fresh and new.

This actually a very endearing quality because it show Juniper's apprecation of the uniqueness of each occasion and the fleetingness of the moment, and their ability to live in the present time.

Junipers always have time for other people. They'll invite you along to whatever activity they may be going to not out of obligation, but because genuine pleasure is taken in sharing your company.

When they're negative, Junipers appear very vulnerable, as if their very soul is being attacked. They become uneasy among other people and dis-quieted by all manner of things. Anyone used to their usual easy-going nature may sense the disquite that is being generated.

During these bouts of doubt and anxiety Junipers can become very weak-spirited, depressed and exhausted - as if they've fought an enormous battle. Their faith never falters though, which is a great strength.

No matter what life throws at them juniper will always pull through and once again laugh and believe in themselves and others.

junipers are best suited to professions which allow them freedom of thought and speech. They don't take kindly to authority or to being the underdog, and are best suited to jobs in which they can be left on their own to carry out the work in their own way although they can have a wishful nature, approaching things in ways that are not always practical  or efficient.

This type of person has difficulty choosing romantic partners because they eed someone who understands why they require to withdraw into themselves for inner reflection, without feeling excluded.There are many personalities Juniper is not compatable with and they often wrongly feel that they will never find their soulmate or true love.
