Magenta Finances
Magentas are members of the Physical (environmental) Family; therefore, they always seem to have a handle on how the world of physical reality operates. They know what they have to do to make money, spend it creatively, and still meet their financial obligations.
Most important, they are able to play with money. Food and shelter are the necessary stage props. But in all else,
Magentas need and want to be creative. To a Magenta, those products and ideas that are creative, thought-provoking, or imaginative are the true necessities of life. Magentas are apt to think that a trip to the neighborhood thrift shop is more important than buying salad makings-unless, of course, they are planning a Mexican fiesta and need lettuce for tacos.
Money for a
Magenta is the ticket to new experiences, new ideas, and new ways of doing things. Magentas love to travel, to explore other countries, to mix with the people and live among them. They can be seen folk dancing in the town square and learning to speak the local language from children. Magentas are the free spirits of the spectrum and travel with the protection provided charmed individuals.
Magentas can also he practical and down to earth about money. They know the value of a dollar; they just don't want to be tied down by that value system. In their finances, as in all other aspects of their lives, Magentas know the value and meaning of living each moment as it comes. They are not much interested in deferRed gratification, but they have a healthy respect for the here and now.
Magenta Careers
Magentas do well in occupations that have a great deal of flexibility, creativity, and potential for innovative ideas and inventions. They need jobs and careers that require little supervision (such as art therapy with disturbed children) or, conversely, a great deal of supervision (such as acting under a strong director).
The ideal careers for
Magentas are those wherein they can make a great deal of money during a short period of concentrated effort. This gives them the financial flexibility to take time off to explore different aspects of themselves and their environment. Any career in the performing arts would serve them nicely. They do especially well in all forms of comedy improvisational, stand-up, and comic acting.
Because they are so ingenious, they can work independently as artists, inventors, or writers. They can take advantage of short, intense periods of creative, fertile solitude. They do not necessarily need the inspiration or motivation that comes from being with others. However, they do need a representative or agent to supervise their work from drawing board to production. They are not interested in the details, but are strongly aware of bottom lines and financial outcomes.
Magentas do well in any career or occupation on the leading edge. Such jobs appeal to their fascination with the bright, the young, and the new. For example, they would be good as art directors, photographers, or designers for slick new magazines. The Magenta would love to investigate, photograph, or sell whatever product or idea is the latest and hottest in clothes, music, people, entertainment, and travel.
Magentas make excellent salespeople, especially when they are selling toys-makeup, clothes, antiques, or concepts. They entice the customer into the fantasy and then make the sales pitch. Because of this ability to live in their fantasy, Magentas also make good entrepreneurs. They are capable of dynamically visualizing success, and then making the imagined goal a reality.

Magenta Social Interactions
Magentas love people. They are the madcaps of the spectrum-full of fun, willing to be outrageous, daring to do the things the rest of us wish we had the courage to do. They entertain with laughter, fin, skits, and foolishness. When you are invited to a Magenta's home, you never know what you will be in for. When they allow their imaginations free rein, a luau on the fire escape of a New York walk-up would not be an impossibility.
The only way to enjoy a
Magenta's party, social life, or friendship is to get into the swing of things. Magentas are unpRedictable, nonconforming, and relatively oblivious to rigid social customs. Magentas are without malice; they are not angry, nor are they antisocial. They simply have a different view of life. Often, when the pressure to conform becomes too great, they create their own hilarious backlash. Even when confronted with painful, restrictive childhoods, Magentas intuitively know that laughter is the best medicine. They enjoy the absurdities of life. Only a Magenta would have a pink plastic flamingo as a living room centerpiece.
Magentas find unusual things to see and do wherever they are. The more outrageous the event or activity, the more fun. They love mixing up their realities. When Magentas need a lift, they invite all their friends to attend a silent film and make up a story to go along with the action on the screen.
Magentas make friends wherever they go. Every encounter is an opportunity for them to get to know how others think and feel. Magentas collect a wide spectrum of friends who are as eclectic as their agglomeration of home decorating items. They take comfort in listening to the ways other people break away from their own bonds of conformity. The unifying factor among the friendships and relationships formed by a Magenta is that there is no unifying factor. They collect people with unusual occupations and interests the way some of us collect stamps, appreciating them for their beauty, their art, and their individuality.
Because most of their friends are as footloose as they are, they do not establish the tight bonds of catering that are often taken for granted by other Personality Spectrums colors. That is not to say that
Magentas are not considerate or caring. They prefer to be relieved from the pressure (and fear) of confining or stultifying responsibility of caring for another person. Occasionally their feelings get hurt when they think they have been ignored, but hurt feelings are a small price to pay in exchange for being relieved of the burden of responsibility.
Magentas tend to marry often, not out of fickleness or an inability to maintain long-term relationships, but because they feel that when they have learned all the life lessons they can from a given relationship, it is time to move on. They also marry because they know that commitment enhances a couple's opportunity to learn from the experience of being together. Magentas also love to be the guest of honor at a party and what more appropriate party than their own wedding?
Magentas also have a facility for departing from relationships in such a way as to leave the other person emotionally, physically, and spiritually intact. Magentas are not destroyers. They are learners and experimenters; they are the participant observer within a culture of their own creation. They remain friends with their former mates, often regarding them as part of an extended family, so to speak.
Individuals who marry frequently or who have had many serial relationships are not necessarily
Magentas. Magentas are distinctive in that they choose their partners carefully for the life lessons a relationship with them offers. In addition, the Magenta's partners are usually aware that the relationship, even though they have gone through a marriage ceremony, is not necessarily permanent.
