Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan, b. 29 january 1970 into TO8 Day 58 is an 8:2. Resolving to 2:4, intensifying his self and his family interests over those of the group in which he finds himself. The overt or external qualities of 2, like concern with health and the measuring of social life through relationships, are intensified by his resolution,  Those of this type are great calculators and like to pin down numbers and quantities and can similarly measure up the personal debts and obligations that people around him owe or receive. He is a manager and adjuster of others to ensure that his own personal space and intellectual leanings remain unchallenged.  He is a static person in the sense that he is not affected by the need to fit into anyone else's ways of doing things and getting him to move in any one direction will not be easy.

What's truly interesting is that he has been picked by Mitt Romney, who is a 1:1.  In almost every way, the two would naturally not get along. Both Romney's deep seated trends and everyday decision-making antagonises Ryan's everyday Minor self while Ryan's deep-seated trends of his Major antagonises Romney's Major and Minor. Even although they have a superficial accord in that Romney, as a double 1, embodies something of the 8 in his everyday personality. 

You can expect not just policy differences to emerge between them but stylistic and energetic ones as well. Romney will have trouble channelling Ryan, who will develop an inner circle of planners,  and Ryan, in turn, will be surprised by Romney's attachment to fashionable advice. We can expect gaffs and slips to occur between them daily.
