Carrie Fisher
challenges and difficulties

Carrie Fisher has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, she prevents herself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Fisher is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Carrie Fisher takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

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

But Carrie Fisher is very judgmental and hard on herself if she fails to attain success, and she can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize her efforts.

Once she decides what she wants to do, Carrie Fisher will pursue her goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for her deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Carrie feel a little out of step with others. Carrie Fisher takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Carrie feels and how driven she is about the things that are important to her. Carrie Fisher has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to her, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

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

She is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on her path, but when under stress Carrie Fisher becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what she has, she is apt to ignore the subtle signals she receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Carrie Fisher needs to learn the limits of her ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for her. Fisher also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Carrie Fisher tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

It is in her public life and career that Carrie Fisher is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Fisher's reputation and standing in her community or professional circle, as well as how Carrie Fisher achieves her important life goals and aspirations.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Carrie Fisher back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Being bound to past events and experiences because of her desire to belong, deep attachments to family and the familiar (even if they are neither nourishing nor helpful), the desire to nurture or be nurtured by others, and a strong resistance to cutting the umbilical cord.

The following are specific activities that will support Carrie Fisher in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Fisher, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Carrie Fisher should foster self-discipline and learn to handle responsibility. She may shoulder an inordinate amount of responsibility as well as burdens that sometimes limit Fisher's activities and opportunities in life. However, this is a maturing and ultimately empowering process. She is also likely to be offered positions of tremendous responsibility, whether Carrie really wants such jobs or not, usually because she has invested real effort and made some sort of substantial contribution.

There may be considerable obstacles in her path - more adversity than others seem to face - and Fisher's task is to learn to cope with pressure and persevere.
