Gregg Araki
challenges and difficulties

Gregg Araki has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Gregg is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Gregg Araki 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 Araki's which may inhibit him a great deal. Gregg Araki 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.

Gregg Araki takes both his work and his health very seriously, but he may demand so much of his at work that he compromise his health. Gregg can become a workaholic, not so much because he has lofty ambitions, but because he never feels like he has done enough. Gregg Araki is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that he may not enjoy it at all.

Araki can also get overly involved in self-improvement or his health, and he tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

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

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Gregg Araki copes with stress. Gregg Araki also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Gregg Araki to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Gregg Araki is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Araki's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

Gregg Araki tends to be fascinated by new and obscure things and may be strongly attracted to the occult. He may contribute to spontaneous forming of groups and could gain spiritual enlightenment together with other people.
