Francesca Annis
challenges and difficulties

On the other hand, Francesca Annis may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for Francesca.

Annis is generally not a "joiner" and she does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Francesca Annis does participate in a group, she may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or she may simply feel that she does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Francesca Annis better than being with groups of her own peers.

Francesca Annis strives and struggles a great deal with her ideals or spiritual aspirations. She may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or she may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, she can never quite divorce herself from her idealistic concerns.

She is likely to find it hard to make decisions, looking forward to the future with great enthusiasm on the one hand, but afraid of misjudgments on the other. Never quite sure about anything, Francesca Annis may periodically withdraw from situations and people.

She is inclined to feel inferior and may easily be taken in by others. Francesca has to guard against being deceived or used by others, though her intentions may be good. Francesca Annis must not let her desire to have things cloud her ability to see what is really happening.

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

When under stress, Francesca Annis is apt to shut off the flow of her emotions and ignore her needs and feelings in order to do what she perceives as her duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of her, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering her tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Francesca Annis' growth. Francesca Annis needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both herself and others. Letting herself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

It is in any involvements she has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Francesca Annis is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

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

Francesca Annis should foster self-discipline and learn to handle responsibility. She may shoulder an inordinate amount of responsibility as well as burdens that sometimes limit Annis' activities and opportunities in life.

She is also likely to be offered positions of tremendous responsibility, whether Francesca 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 Annis' task is to learn to cope with pressure and persevere.

Francesca has the inclination to gossip and spread stories or she could be the subject of gossip herself at times. Her perception of partnership and family relationships tends to be somewhat unrealistic, and Francesca Annis may put up a good front and pretend to have a harmonious life.
