Dorothy Brett
challenges and difficulties

Lady Brett doubts her own intelligence and mental capacities, and she may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Dorothy is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for her.

Her attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Dorothy Brett may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to her. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Dorothy may tenaciously cling to her grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

Her overall outlook on life is serious, and Dorothy Brett may feel that life or God will punish her if she does not watch her steps!

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Dorothy Brett 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 Dorothy Brett 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 Dorothy Brett 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.

Dorothy Brett 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. Lady Brett also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Dorothy Brett tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

It is in her dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Dorothy Brett needs to integrate in tangible ways: how she makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what she does with the resources she has. Dorothy Brett should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.
