Harry Houdini
in Relationships

Secretive and inclined to brooding silences, it is difficult for others to really know his inner core, for Harry Houdini only trusts and opens himself to a select few. Allowing himself to be vulnerable and to relinquish control in relationships is not easy for Houdini.

Harry has intense, passionate loves and hates and is a jealously loyal and protective friend - or a fearsome foe. Harry Houdini has a nasty habit of holding onto past hurts, resentments and guilt - and to keep such feelings to himself. It is important for Harry Houdini to learn to forgive and let go, as well as to express his feelings openly and directly, rather than hiding or repressing them.

Though he yearns for close relationships, Harry Houdini often closes himself off and does not really trust others who may wish to get to know him. Houdini is very wholehearted in his feelings and responses to people, and he wants all or nothing from the people he cares for.

His intimate and close personal relationships are often intense, highly-charged and difficult, as they trigger deep emotional responses in Harry Houdini that have more to do with unsatisfied hungers and unmet childhood needs than with the present situation. He may feel like a voracious, bottomless pit when it comes to nurturing and emotional reassurance, and Houdini's neediness often drives others away. When Harry Houdini does let himself feel close to another human being, painful, long-buried feelings bubble to the surface as do - perhaps - grief at the losses he suffered or anger at the neglect or hurt he endured. He may also reenact these situations in his present day relationships, in an unconscious effort to resolve and heal old issues. Houdini will do a lot of cleansing if he can listen to what his feelings are telling him. If not, Harry Houdini will simply have a tumultuous, passionate and stormy emotional life.
