Trusting others and letting them get to know her intimately does not come easily to Annie, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Annie Sprinkle is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Sprinkle.

Annie Sprinkle has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life that colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Annie limits herself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in herself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness. Others find Annie Sprinkle difficult to get to know intimately, as Sprinkle tends to distance herself from them or to outwardly adopt a rather stern, "adult" demeanor.

Sprinkle may find it difficult to relate to people and express her feelings, especially in love relationships. On the hand, Annie Sprinkle wants relationships yet on the other, she would rather be by herself. A sense of personal inadequacy makes Annie withdraw from others and feel lonely as a result.

Since she lacks the capacity to adapt, Annie Sprinkle tends to be rebellious and fight hard against oppression. This could even lead to violent incidents, so Annie should try to keep her temper at bay. She may have to work extremely hard and handle a great many responsibilities.

Annie Sprinkle has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Annie Sprinkle needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Annie Sprinkle needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Sprinkle's inner, personal life and her career or involvement with the world at large that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Annie Sprinkle needs to focus attention on her home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.
