Ode to Nux

Nux hamsters all in a cage

“We’ve got to win” they all will rage

“Do it myself, Now! Now! Now!”

“Get out of my way, you plodding cow!”

Happier in corporate world so he can ascend

Needs to have spasms things

Not so much doing it by himself

Not a lot of morality (Nux-v and Ign inimical remedies, Ign. highly moral and idealistic,

Nux-v doesn’t matter what it takes to get where I want to get)

So focused on what they want to get – they don’t care how they get there

Takes an intense effort to recover

Acute Miasm (H)

A “Cadillac” prescription, just recognize it

IF THEY DON’T OUTPERFORM EVERYONE, THEY WON’T GET WHAT THEY NEED/WANT

Too many hamsters in the cage

Slim chance of survival,

Delusion; bed, someone had sold it

Like a metal,

independent and performance oriented

MOST IRRITABLE REMEDY

It’s all the little things that drive them nuts

Hyper-sensitivity to light, noise, smell

Quarrelsome if disturbed

WORLD AS SERIES OF OBSTACLES

GET ANGRY/choleric (fiery temperament)

Everything filters to anger at some point

Their primary reaction

Can be mad as a hornet!

Gets home, try to take their shirt off and button sticks and just rips it off

“I don’t have time for this!”

Capable of revenge, 2nd degree murder

“I don’t want to get angry, I want to get even”

Usually hot-blooded

Don’t cut them off/are going to yell and make noise

Fear of killing her child, desire to kill, but don’t do it

RAW AMBITION

If they will it, they can do it/Driven/Often work-aholic/push themselves beyond

Corporate Nux, just as driven just as busy but never get out of their chair

Never lazy

A Self Made Person

6th grade education, became a millionaire

Can get rich/want money

A drive to get cash/drive to get what they want

DO IT MYSELF

Usually self-employed

Nobody else does it right anyway

It’s their own strength that will get them what they need

Not looking for handouts/won’t be giving them either

TOUGH AS HELL, SCRAPPY

HURRIED

“can” do a job well, but it’s done fast

Fits and spurts

How are you doing? “I don’t know I haven’t had time to …”

REALLY INTENSE PEOPLE, ARDENT, PASSIONATE

Too many things in the fire

On the phone doing 12 things

The worse thing about being sick, is that I have to miss work

If a Nux can’t work, they feel survival is threatened

ALWAYS WANTS MORE/CAN’T RELAX

Always future oriented, always thinking about the next thing to do/“Doesn’t have time”

Relaxation = Mission impossible

NOT INTROSPECTIVE

Not Sensitive

Nothing is that wrong with me

EFFICIENCY

They want order so they can work fast

Well organized, versus super clean

Inefficient drives them crazy

House is messy, desk is clean

JUST SEDATE ME

Relax = go out and get drunk

Typically fall asleep in chair with a beer

Jack themselves up in morning with caffeine

Whatever to get back to work

They want Stimulation/over-sensitive to stimulation

INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE/WANT TO WIN

They are a survivor

Not about power or ego/not huge braggers, not a big ego

SEXUAL ENERGY/HIGH SEX DRIVE

Not deep in Relationships/like one night stands, quick, easy. let’s not get all tangled up in emotions

Could have affairs

Definitely anger problems in relationship

Men can perform sexually

Like the chase

Treat the relationships like possessions,

prone to jealousy

Ailments from deception, betrayal (Hyos.).

The frightened mouse won’t get the cheese

In order to win, they won’t express that

Suppression Version

If you ask, they will let you know

They will hold on to it

Comes out in PMS

Sympathetic?

As if someone gets screwed and they are angry for them

Will kick butt for you

Failing that, they can get depressed

When anger didn’t win results they wanted

A BIG COMPLAINER, A WHINER

All these things that bother them, complain and blame loud and openly
