Eric Winter
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Winter. Eric Winter tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Eric.

He is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with his duty, his public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Eric Winter 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 Eric Winter 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.

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

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Eric Winter 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 Eric Winter needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

He is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on his path, but when under stress Eric Winter 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 he has, he is apt to ignore the subtle signals he receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Eric Winter needs to learn the limits of his 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 him. Winter also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward his appetites and desires, as Eric Winter tends to overindulge and/or deny himself excessively.

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

The following are specific activities that will support Eric Winter in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Winter, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Eric Winter should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen his ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. He needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Eric can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships. Eric Winter has to be willing to be different and perhaps to be considered eccentric or odd.

Eric Winter seems to have an innate sense of cosmic awareness and is likely to have strong psychical or metaphysical talents. He is inclined to join some parapsychology groups where he may share his unusual experiences with others.
