Greta Garbo
challenges and difficulties

Greta has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave her feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with her peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Garbo.

Garbo 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 Greta Garbo 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 Greta Garbo better than being with groups of her own peers.

Her attitude toward life is quite serious and she is very thorough. Greta has the need to be by herself and think out everything very carefully before she takes action. Greta Garbo may enjoy doing some type of creative art work shaped from hard or heavy materials.

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

Greta Garbo's path lies in her development as an individual, the discovery of her own strengths and joys, the capacity to express her uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Garbo's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Greta Garbo is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, she may believe that striving to do her personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Greta should let go of this notion. Finding her own center and doing what gives her delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Greta Garbo can offer the world at large.

The arena she is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Greta Garbo should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials she feels she possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Greta Garbo back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Greta Garbo's rigid self-control overly restricts her ability to freely express herself or explore possibilities. She is excessively concerned with work, duty and security. She tends to be fearful, judgmental towards herself or others, and can feel alone and cut off from sources of nourishment outside herself. Greta Garbo should try to learn to relax and recognize that not everything is Garbo's responsibility.

She is very social, loves artistic events and entertainment, and has the ability to show her feelings without reservation. Greta Garbo probably found joy in learning things early in life and she keeps in close relationships with her family and other relations.
