challenges and difficulties

Ford doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Gerald 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 him.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Gerald Ford works very hard to ensure that his assets are solid. He may be very conservative, even stingy, with his money because he is afraid there will not be enough. He may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

His faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by much caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions Gerald Ford has for his life are firmly held in check by his sense of reality. At times he may wish for more freedom, but Gerald also fears it and hang back. Gerald Ford may blame practical limitations or some external condition or the prevailing Authority for his own inhibitions.

The direction Gerald Ford 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 Ford's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature.
