Cherríe Moraga
challenges and difficulties

Cherríe Moraga takes her personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing.

Cherríe has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but she can also become so involved in her imaginative, idealistic pursuits that she looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

Cherríe Moraga becomes tense and upset rather easily. She becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In her eagerness to see her inspirations materialize, Moraga is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving her goals. Her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

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