Trump v Harris...Their Character & Motives...



As a Graphologist I offer insight into the character and motivations of individuals through their handwriting.  My hope is that my analysis of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will offer objective clarity.

Sociable and passionate, Kamala Harris has the ability to easily adapt to various environments. Agile and tenacious, her impulsive and jovial mannerisms seek to captivate those she wants to impress and influence.  Tendency to exaggeration with feelings of superiority, she has the ability to present things in a more interesting manner. In an atmosphere of exaggerated self importance, she can tend to complicate things unnecessarily, attributing importance to things of no importance. There is also evidence of cunning intrigue along with coquettish pleasing in her interactions that can easily switch from cordial behavior to aggressive reactions. Her judgment is superficial.

In contrast, Donald Trump offers a disciplined strength in his well developed professional attitudes. He's a fierce fighter who doesn't abdicate easily. His mental activity is quick & decisive with great ability to concentrate. Dignified, laconic, ethical with integrity, he respects others and expects them to keep their word. His commanding qualities can be combative and obstinate as well as modest, gentle and reflective.
His ability to compartmentalize enables him to concentrate his forces to produce successful results with attention, order and circumspection. His fighting spirit can be emotionally vulnerable.

Which of these characters do you feel offers America the leadership she deserves to survive...

Mondrian... Insight into the Artist's Subconscious


Finding Logic...Gesso Charcoal Pastels on Paper
32" x 40"    2018

Piet Mondrian entered my life during one my Art School Drawing classes. I was having difficulty connecting with the mannequin still life until my professor suggested a Mondrian projection.  The animated energy subconsciously came out of me, it even made it into the Spring Show Exhibition. Yet...I struggled to orally describe what I had drawnMy conscious mind was hopelessly silent about this piece until I stumbled upon this Mondrian tree drawing on a friend's Facebook page.

There was something about this animated tree that spoke to me. The Melancholic Blue, Sanguine Red and Choleric Yellow are depicted in a rhythmic array of mental activity. There are hints of squares & rectangles in the instinctual area taking form for his later work. 

Mondrian's trees were created during his earlier years before his work evolved to the aerated focused lines, geometric squares & rectangles. What was it about Mondrian's character and personality that compelled such a transformation?  His handwriting, tree drawings and evolution of his art offer answers... insight.

It was a shocking experience for me to discover Mondrian's handwriting.  I expected it to have a formal controlled quality analogous to his clear & precise geometric forms. But it was lively & energized... negligent and impulsive in an intelligent way.


Mondrian Tree Drawing & Handwriting 1908

Mondrian's outgoing impulsivity is also verified in his tree drawings. This natural winter tree is easily influenced, with attempts to control his release of energy while the black guards his emotional availability. What's really interesting are the loose yet strategically placed greenish rectangles and squares framing of the tree to give it support and structure.  They have a linear quality about them. The green color and the connected adaptability of his handwriting is equated to the Phlegmatic in the Hippocratic temperaments.  A calming avoidance to center his active mind.

Mondrian's handwriting reveals an Intuitive Extrovert in Jung. These squares & rectangles offer a balancing focus for his adjustable creative genius. This intuitively active mind is reminiscent of the Enneagram Type 7. It relishes in improvising solutions from the array of options and opportunities available.

Hence the evolution of Mondrian's drawings... 

The earlier tree drawings lacked in aeration...invisible space that allows for clear independent judgement. His later geometric drawings bring a sense of order & clarity to his original & decisive mind.

Found Ithaka...


As you set out for Ithaka

hope your road is a long one,

         full of adventure, full of discovery.    


— Constantine Cavafy 

                    



A kind soul from the past reached out to me. I only met him once, but he remembered my passionate nature from ten years ago. What was it about me that stuck in his mind?  I’ve been known to be too much for people at times… & it has gotten me into disquieting predicaments.


It was at his Workshop for American Society of Professional Graphologist’s in New York City that I was exposed to this invaluable yet haunting tool for assessing character and personality.   I  was excited to learn about his work equating Graphology with the Enneagram.   The Enneagram solved a hindering issue I had in my Graphology practice.  It resolved what to do for my clients to help them get unstuck.  To offer them a Guiding Orientation of what to do that would benefit them. This was my conscious mind speaking.  What was going on in my subconscious was a whole other scenario…


Here I was ten years later.  Since the Conference I had amassed any and every book on the Enneagram I could find from libraries, second hand book stores, mainstream bookstores and the Internet. I read and studied  them all. I felt that I had a working understanding of them because of how my graphology clients were receptive to the knowledge… it was an interactive exchange that seemed  to benefit them. 


But for myself… I was in limbo.


At the end of his lecture I remember Claudio Garibaldi asking the audience for a handwriting sample and for us to indicate which Enneagram Type we felt we were. I somehow managed to get my husband to attend the Conference.  We both submitted. My husband wrote and indicated Five. I put myself at Four because of the sense of melancholy in my relationships. The Five for my husband made sense to Claudio, but he felt that my energy didn’t fit the Four. I couldn’t grasp what he was trying to tell me. He offered the  consideration of the One.


It wasn’t the first time that the One was brought up to me.  Usha Mullan wrote three books on integrating Graphology with the Enneagram which I referenced to figure out my Graphology clients.  So I thought to contact her, submitting my handwriting and tree drawings from different decades of my life. Bernadette and Frederic Schmidt also saw me there.

 

Why did these respected authors of the Enneagram choose to put me at One? The One as my home just didn’t feel right. My mentor, Renna Nezos, Founder of the British Academy of Graphology, appeared in my head…she had trouble deciphering my handwriting, but told me that she worked at it.  ‘You’re undisciplined… you must dissolve the hurdles not jump over them.’  This was not a Dominant Sign for the One.


This lack of discipline revealed itself when I discussed my book, Coffee with the Subconscious,  at an ASPG Workshop in 2012. I had agonized for months on how to structure my talk.  I’ll never forget this observation from the audience when I had presented for a Mensa Group… 

‘Your words do not correlate with the image on the screen.’ This wouldn’t happen to a One.


Unlike my Five husband who loves to educate from structured PowerPoints, I tried to follow his recommendation, but failed miserably. It’s something that has haunted me most of my life. The calming compassion of Pat Siegel, President of ASPG, assured me the improbability of One as my home. She offered Four, but when I expressed that my energy didn’t seem to fit there…. The only other place that made sense to her for me was Seven.

 

 Seven’s don’t even know how much they suffer because they don’t have the direct    experience of suffering, but they’re always running away from the present into the                                                         future or the past or into thinking or into dreaming.


There’s a rejection to reality that appears as if reality were not enough, but ultimately reality is painful and this is not directly known.


Claudio Naranjo, M.D.


Whenever I would experience a sad & despondent state of mind,  I would revert my thinking to finding my home at Type Four. What I came to realize is that Fours welcome this state of being, I sought ways to spring away from it. This is what Claudio meant when he stated that I didn’t have that Type’s energy.  


I even entertained that my dismal state of mind could be the result of falling asleep to myself…going along to get along with the difficult relationships in my life in order to avoid conflict.  

This is the Enneagram Type Nine that I tried to make work for a while.


Every time I tried to offer a convincing argument to my Five husband that I was complacent… 

It was received by an incredulous sobering stare.


I’ve been on a never-ending quest to figure out myself since my early twenties. Unlike my closest friends and husband, carving out a specific goal was very difficult for me to commit to. I switched my major several times during college. I initially wanted to enter the Art Department, but since I didn’t have the required Portfolio I settled on History.  I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Literature, Poetry, Greek Philosophy…I had an aptitude for math and could surprisingly solve complicated essay problems in Economics.  When it came to multiple choice exams, the essay usually saved my life.


This continued on during my British Academy of Graphology days. On the written exams, I missed giving the specific signs that the examiners were looking for, but I was able to capture the character and  personality in the essay.


It took me three heart wrenching failed attempts to pass my Oral examination. 

Why was I afraid to open my mouth… to express myself… to offer my opinion?

The pain buried in my subconscious was towering.


Anne Jelson, my earliest Graphology teacher, was able to analyze my husband’s handwriting, but  threw her arms up in dismay as I pressed her for my analysis. ‘You’re an Enigma!’


My heart skipped a few beats when I learned that Claudio Garibaldi published his book, The Psychology of the Enneagram Applied to Graphology


There it was on page 174… I was  FINALLY able to find the dominant signs of my earlier handwriting… Flung out, Thrusting, Confused.  


And on page 175…


‘Optimistic enthusiasts often have Thrusting in their handwriting. When they fail at something, it fazes them only for a brief period and they try again. If they fail again, they simply go back to it until they succeed.’ —Moretti


I finally understood my depressive states.  They weren’t the melancholy of the Type Four.  They weren’t the falling asleep to myself in order to avoid conflict of the Type Nine. My incapacitating states of mind resulted from an overly enthusiastic whirlwind of manic energy.  

It would take me days, sometimes weeks to recover, but then something would rekindle my energy for more.


The most noteworthy evolution of my handwriting since my early twenties is that it became  more Disconnected, Aerated, with increased Heavy Pressure. My energy had become more controlled to analyze situations with better judgement and targeted focus.


Could the reigning in of my handwriting be the visual representation of channeling my subconscious energies to understand the pain that Type Seven’s prefer to run from? 

To dissolve those hurdles that Renna observed.


It gives me a profound sense of accomplishment to unravel a hindering component for my graphology clients. I enjoy spending hours analyzing the evolution of their handwriting and tree drawings along with how they relate to the important relationships in their lives.


Life is about relationships, the resolved and  unresolved… 

This is the first line of my book, Coffee with the Subconscious.


This crippling phenomenon to understand the important relationships in our lives and the how and why we’re affected has plagued me for years. 

Renna used to say to me…’Let light into your o’s and a’s.’ 

It was very hard for me to grasp what she was trying to tell me. 

Hence, Naranjo’s wisdom of the Seven’s elusive suffering clarified this for me.


The Art Portfolio that escaped me during my early twenties subliminally materialized over time. The scattered energy of my earlier years became more purposefully targeted in Creativity.

It even earned me a Scholarship to a four year Art School.


My artwork is full of dreamlike animated renditions of the subconscious. I love doing portraits that are more gestural in quality. I need to feel a connection with the subject to capture their essence. Working with glass allows an amorphous freedom amidst a shattering fragility. It inspires a sense of adventure to accommodate the flame. It’s a balancing act that comforts my inner being, but I still struggle to assign words to my art.


I didn’t know how to think about my most recent piece, Found Ithaka, when it presented itself out of the kiln. My earliest notes for this article mentioned Cavafy, but as I contemplated writing,  those thoughts didn’t return until later. The atmospheric quality of the blue light is reminiscent of the summer that I studied in Greece. The same time as my earliest thrusting confused handwriting. It’s also the occasion when I chose to memorize Cavafy’s poem. It’s my subconscious rendition of the adventures experienced from that ship on the horizon. 

My handwriting evolved … my husband’s remained the same…a little looser perhaps. 

His nuancée intellect and sobering energy comfort my soul. It was his support and encouragement that enabled me to navigate the right sources to learn the science of Graphology. 

A discipline that helped ground my internal energies to the reality of people  and situations. 



And… my Australian friend, Ingrid Seger-Woznicki understood this from our first encounter…


”You talk too fast to be a Nine or Four…and even in misery, you laughed and joked about it… 

you are very vocal and know your own thoughts…all that pointed to a Seven influence to me.”


When I press my husband for one word that describes me…

Zany.


He saw it from the beginning…

It took me a bit longer to acknowledge.




Pensive



 

This is a subconscious piece of an intimate friend. 

A calming energy throughout my life.

I tried to draw her animated and smiling... A congenial personality 

Voted the 'Friendliest' in high school.

But this is what came out of me.


Her handwriting revealed a Phlegmatic character of the Hippocratic Temperaments.

Calm, stable, consistent and wise...

Loyal in feeling... Traditional in habits.

Comfortable with routine and instruments of precision.                                        

The Enneagram Type 9 seemed to fit for her.

She agreed.

Don't Fear Medusa...

               
Don’t Fear Medusa…
     

  

Don't be afraid to look at Medusa.

You won't turn to stone.

The irony here is that if you Fail to look at Medusa...

You WILL turn to stone.

This is a quote from my book, Coffee with the Subconscious, that I wrote over ten years ago. It's currently haunting my soul because people are turning to stone all around me. 

When I communicate to people that I'm a graphologist their quick thought is that they're afraid to have me look at their handwriting. They're afraid of criticism. The ones who are initially afraid shouldn't be. They are usually the more  intelligent. They suffer from those who have positions   of power over them.  They are the victims of Medusa's propaganda. Medusa's secrets. Medusa's invisible restrictions piercing their soul.

False Promise after False Promise after False Promise. Façade after Façade after Façade. 

Competent people are too aware of what they don't know and become another's prey. They put faith into the hands of the Veiled Exploiter. 

"Worldwide Streaming Headlines: Covid 19 is Deadly... Business Lockdowns... Mask Mandates.

"Why are Governments and  Mainstream Media creating fear and shutting down the world when there are effective therapeutics that treat this disease. Why are Physicians suppressed from prescribing?

"Hospitals are full of people dying from Covid 19."

The hospitals are NOT Full and are financially incentivized to code Covid 19. More people are being hospitalized from the side effects of this experimental shot. Why the lies, censorship and distortions of factual data?

"The Government and Mainstream Media is mandating this safe and effective vacc!ne."

This poisonous shot is NOT safe & effective. It causes death and debilitating long term side effects including infertility.

"You MUST get this vacc!ne. If you don't comply, you will be banned and isolated from school, segregated and fired from work, prohibited from indoor and outdoor recreational facilities." 

Why are you deliberately trying to jeopardize my health, putting a noose around my neck and segregating me when this disease has a 99% cure rate with a healthy immune system and effective therapeutics. This is Genocide, Stalinist Russia & Nazi Germany.

"If you don't comply, you must submit to daily / weekly nasal swab testing for Covid 19."

These swabs are saturated with sterile / EO made in China.  The  EPA classified Ethylene Oxide as a Carcinogen to Humans. This inhalation is VERY TOXIC... Causes Genetic Defects, Cancer, Neurological Disorders, Reduces Fertility, in all ages! It is Mutagenic... it can change the DNA in your cells.

"Vacc!nated people need to wear masks and get the booster."

The Pharmaceutical Companies are not liable for any deaths and side effects from this poisonous shot that they're illegally calling a 'vacc!ne'. Vacc!ne classifications are void when therapeutic treatments exist. Plus, the Pharmaceutical companies were losing profits pre Covid 19.

"Mask your children."

These muzzling diapers are stifling our precious gems from self expression and social engagement... A form of abuse that leads to mental illness and physical disease.

"Sit in the back of the bus."

Rosa Parks.

Enneagram Energy Points...

When I first came to the Enneagram I was looking for a solution to a problem...

My formal training as a Graphologist was to analyze people's character and personality through their handwriting to develop their individual portrait.  When the handwriting sample had good equilibrium and an energized force, it was a productive and easy delivery.

However...
When I received a conformist, stuck handwriting I didn't know how to get them out of their shell to be themselves.  These static portraits were difficult for me to deliver...
I was unable to tell them something that would benefit them.

There was also a comment I heard at a British Academy of Graphology Workshop that kept ruminating in my head...

'She's not living in her Jungian Dominant function.'
I was able to see in the handwriting sample what the instructor was talking about...
But she was unable to offer a solution to arouse the writer's psychic energy to return them to their more natural flow.

OK....
Now that we've identified what's going on...
How do we help them evolve
Unstick or redirect their energy in a way so the writer can feel better about themselves.

I first stumbled upon the Enneagram at a Graphology Workshop.
I got excited!
Could this ancient concept help unstick the psychic energy of those handwritings that tormented my soul?

What are these wings about?
Do they help or are they an indication that the person is off balance?
That they're unsure which Core contains their inherent energy flow.

When a person finds a need to hold to their wing...
Which forking avenue balances them out?
Brings them greater comfort?!

After examining a myriad of handwritings....
Watching their progression, regression or stalemate over time
A pattern evolved that made sense when I was able to peel away the external layers of influence to isolate the Core Type of the writer.

Those that were able to overcome life's compensations became more balanced...
I was able to see the influence of each Core's energy points as their handwriting progressed, regressed, got off-balance or got stuck.  

It seems that people arrive at greater health and peace when they're able to isolate a specific Core Type that moves along its energy points in rhythmic vitality.

Nonetheless...What about those people who are unable to get their peace and have been exposed to the Enneagram for a while?!  What's going on with them?  Is there a pattern that can be discerned from their handwriting over the years?!

As fate would have it...
I met a colleague online on the Enneagram Facebook Groups.
My quest to understand led me to partner with Leighah Beadle-Darcy to conduct an Anxiety Study.

To receive information about our results:

Life is About Relationships...

Are you in a relationship or trying to find one?
Do you feel unsettled…
Anxious…
Not sure what to do or how to think?

Hi… I’m Betty Rozakis…

Learning Graphology, the study of character and personality through handwriting, helped me sustain a happy marriage for over 36 years.  It also facilitated my relationship as a daughter, mother, friend and employer.

If you’re seeking a healthy relationship…
It’s important to look at your self first.
The hardest thing is to see our selves objectively.
We unconsciously use our defense mechanisms unaware that they’re stifling and hurting us. 
Our minds get stuck somewhere because of the external influences that have penetrated our lives.

What’s going on with you?
Are you using your positive strengths or are you stuck in your weaknesses?
Did life get you off track and you don’t know how to return to your better self?

Let’s examine your handwriting to assess your energy…
Is it stuck, off balance or are you in sync with your self?

Once you understand your self…then we can objectively look at the handwriting of those relationships that are important to you. 

Is your current relationship healthy for you long term?  Can it be salvaged?

Get your customized answers…
Learn how to be kind to your self and sustain those relationships that enhance you.

Because You Deserve a Great Relationship...

 










           



Trump v Harris...Their Character & Motives...

As a Graphologist I offer insight into the character and motivations of individuals through their handwriting.  My hope is that my analysis ...
