Albert Einstein
challenges and difficulties

Albert has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for Einstein.

He is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with his duty, his public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Albert Einstein understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But Albert Einstein is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

The side of Albert Einstein that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Albert finds it hard to relax. Albert Einstein may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Einstein's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

Albert Einstein tends to be shy, sensitive and stiff with his emotions and may have difficulty expressing his true feelings, even though his affection for someone is there. One of Einstein's parents may have been too strict and unloving, and so Albert may fear close relationships.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Albert Einstein instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Albert Einstein needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Albert Einstein's path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Einstein's actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Einstein's life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Einstein's ideals is one way to do this.

When under stress he is likely to become overly focused on himself and his own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Einstein's focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Albert Einstein needs to strike a balance between doing for himself and doing for others, by discovering how Einstein's unique gifts can benefit others.

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Albert Einstein has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Einstein will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.

The following are specific activities that will support Albert Einstein in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Einstein, and often there is some feeling of resistance or initial awkwardness about doing these things, but they are important on his path to wholeness.

Albert Einstein should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Einstein's best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting, or hoping someone else will do it for him. Albert Einstein needs to assert himself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or fall down; any new initiative is likely to have a few trial runs. Albert needs to stir up a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a way to grow.

Albert has an inspiring, trustworthy and courteous manner, bringing lots of friends and acquaintances with similar interests into his life. His parental home is probably very harmonious and Albert Einstein feels strongly connected with his family.
