Herbert von Karajan
challenges and difficulties

Herbert has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for von Karajan.

His childhood or his relationship with his parents was restrictive, unloving or unhappy in ways that may prevent Herbert from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Herbert von Karajan feels that he was deprived in one form or another, regardless of whether he actually was or not. His early life - at least as von Karajan remembers it - may have been marked by emotional separation or repression of his needs and feelings. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Herbert von Karajan needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Herbert accomplish this task.

Herbert von Karajan has a serious outlook on life and a tendency to dwell on his own flaws as well as those of everyone else. von Karajan may be rather reserved with people and may find it difficult to express himself, thereby leaving a more negative impression than he intended.

Herbert is inclined to be quite reserved and cautious in his relationships with others, yet he may also have an exaggerated regard for other peoples' views, thereby giving them more credence than they are worth.

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

When under stress, Herbert von Karajan is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Herbert von Karajan's growth. Herbert von Karajan needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Herbert von Karajan has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. von Karajan will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.

The following are specific activities that will support Herbert von Karajan in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to von Karajan, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Herbert von Karajan should become more aware of the spiritual side of life and its underlying unity by getting involved in charitable activities and opening up his psychic channels. Meditation that develops von Karajan's intuitive abilities, as well as learning about the unseen side of life through his own dream experiences or altered states of awareness, can be important steps in Herbert's path.

Moreover, musical and artistic or imaginative endeavors will be important to him.

He is very social and his relationships with others are very warm and expansive. It is essential for Herbert's emotional welfare to be surrounded by people and he is an active member of groups or associations he belongs to.
