Jackson Browne
challenges and difficulties

Jackson Browne has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. He is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that he discourages himself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Browne knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Jackson Browne may be something of a hypochondriac also. Jackson must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Jackson. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Jackson Browne is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Browne wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Jackson dislikes tense or frustrating situations and has a strong desire to free himself from them. Acting quickly at times, Jackson suddenly overcomes his inner inhibitions. Jackson Browne also has the ability to grasp difficult situations correctly and to use them for his advancement.

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

Jackson Browne has a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take anything at face value and to see hidden agendas and dark motives even where none exist! Life does not have to be a constant conflict... Jackson needs to learn to accept things as they are.

Browne also needs to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding himself in his daily work and behaving consistently and reliably towards others.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Browne's inner, personal life and his career or involvement with the world at large that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Jackson Browne needs to focus attention on his home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.
