François Truffaut
challenges and difficulties

François Truffaut has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. François is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. François Truffaut often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Truffaut's which may inhibit him a great deal. François Truffaut must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

François Truffaut has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though François limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find François Truffaut difficult to get to know intimately, as Truffaut tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

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

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance Truffaut's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, he is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and he can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

François Truffaut has to learn to relax and surrender to the flow of events without having to figure everything out all the time. He should let his feelings and intuitions flow more freely, be more flexible and fluid, use his imagination and let his dreams emerge!

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 François Truffaut 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. François Truffaut should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

He needs to give and receive affection, love and pleasure (primarily with the qualities described previously). François Truffaut has to learn to respond to, appreciate and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships.
