If you are familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, you know it is a Pyramid, the Base being "Physiological" needs, and the Top of the Pyramid being "Self-Actualization".

In order from the Base of the Pyramid to the Top of the Pyramid is as follows:

Base - (First need) Physiological
2nd - Safety
3rd - Love
4th - Esteem
Top - Self-Actualization


My question is twofold:

First, if you had to choose ONE of the following to do first, which would you choose:

A) Fulfilling your altruistic passionate mission in life

B) Finding and establishing a stable "true love" relationship

C) Establishing a stable permanent home base


The other questions is:
If you were to apply an astrological influence to each of the 5 levels of the Pyramid, what would they be from Base to Top?

Woah, woman, does that mind of yours ever rest? LOL...Ok, another good question

Obviously, you HAVE to have a stable home base first and foremost. It's fundamental to your physical well being and the other things are not, but rather speak to your psychological and emotional well being. If it was cold outside and you were living on the street, would you be looking for the love of your life, your dream job, or a warm place to sleep? See my point?

Next important I think is love and freindship. You need to have a safe and comfortable place to cultivate your relationships, so good thing you've got a home to invite them too! LOL...

Then, when you know you have someone rooting for you, and someone who is somewhat relying on you as well, you'll want to go out into the would and carve your niche somewhere, making a living while your at it. Well, you start out just trying to make a living, then you evolve to doing more what you want rather than what THEY want. (ideally)

If I had to tag each need with a sign, it would be...

Base=Aries
Safety=Taurus
Love=Libra
Esteem=Capricorn
Self-Actualization=Leo

Is that how you would tag them A/J? Any of them?

I agree except for the lat one. I think Pisces should be self-actualization.
