Mind/emotions

Easily vexed state, heightened sensitivity and irritability in face of aggravating disturbances.
General nervous sensitivity predisposes to experience the negative Holly dynamic. Response to a perceived threat, defensive overreaction; delusional, paranoid disorders develop in extreme cases.
Quickly aroused emotions of jealousy, hatred, and suspicion.  Easily incited rage and aggression, abusive tendencies; failing impulse control.  Aggressive impulses may be subdued, while inner Holly dynamic persists.  Quietly devious thought, malicious plotting, revenge; joy at the misfortune of others.  Envy and dissatisfaction; competitive attitude.  Indignation at being hurt in one’s honor, at being undermined. Emotions experienced in the Holly state can be very strong and rule the self.
Oftentimes, they are invested in with much personal force, as one relishes and stirs up the negative.  One may even feel empowered or invigorated by such sentiments, since the fighter’s charge runs through the self. Then again, as the initial thrust cools off, one may find oneself plotting calmly or quietly engaging in devious thought. The more one loses perspective and augments the negative sentiment, the more difficult it is to find the heart-centered balance that is called for.
This remedy is also of help to a person with good intentions who is irritable and easily annoyed without necessarily investing in negative thinking or doing.
