J. K. Rowling
challenges and difficulties

J. K. Rowling often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something she cannot name or specify, and she may have both: great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for Rowling.

It may be difficult for J. K. Rowling to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Joanne may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, J. K. Rowling also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

J. K. Rowling seesaws between playing it safe, and doing something unique and original, between self-control and letting loose, between being a responsible adult and a rebellious adolescent, between what Joanne has to or should do and what her spontaneous impulses tell her to do. All of this creates enormous inner tension as well as friction with people in her environment. J. K. Rowling may, for instance, bitterly resent government or authority figures who "crush her individuality", yet ignore her obligations and responsibilities, thus ensuring that they will pursue her. Learning to give each side its due is an ongoing challenge for Rowling.

J. K. Rowling feels that she must work very hard and struggle against tremendous odds that impede her chances of fulfilling her life's ambitions. Joanne may adopt a very hard, cynical, or nihilistic attitude that will only drag her down further. There are major problems with her father or figures of authority. J. K. Rowling may fail simply to spite "them", without realizing that she is primarily hurting herself. If she can overcome her feelings of loneliness, bitterness or isolation, and direct her energies toward constructive endeavors, Rowling can be immensely effective because of her tremendous tenacity and potential for achievement.

She is inclined to exercise self-control and tries to suppress her inner excitability or irritability. Rowling can be somewhat self-willed, though, and strive to be independent. If J. K. Rowling feels that someone is holding her down too much, she may suddenly break up the relationship.

She is likely to have very intense experiences in her emotional life and should guard against feelings of depression and inhibition. J. K. Rowling could be plagued by inner turmoil and obsessive ideas or notions.

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

J. K. Rowling needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Joanne's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Rowling's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable J. K. Rowling to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, J. K. Rowling is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. J. K. Rowling needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where J. K. Rowling has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Rowling 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.

She may have an inner fear of separation and could feel left out or ignored at times. J. K. Rowling may have not received much affection while she was growing up or it had to be shared with others. Joanne could find it difficult to show her love in her relationships.
