Janet Jackson
challenges and difficulties

Janet Jackson 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 Jackson.

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

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

Janet has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Janet Jackson needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve her aspirations. Jackson will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

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

Janet Jackson benefits by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world, learning to slow down and allow life to unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some other living, growing thing gives Janet Jackson a sense of inner balance.

Janet Jackson 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... Janet needs to learn to accept things as they are.

Jackson also needs to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding herself in her daily work and behaving consistently and reliably towards others.

It is in her public life and career that Janet Jackson is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Jackson's reputation and standing in her community or professional circle, as well as how Janet Jackson achieves her important life goals and aspirations.

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

Escapism through fantasy, intoxicants, or passive, vicarious activities (television, movies, etc.), waiting for a miracle instead of taking constructive steps to help herself, aimlessness or an inability to make and keep commitments, and self deception regarding other people. Janet has a tendency to be a martyr.

The following are specific activities that will support Janet Jackson in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Jackson, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Janet Jackson should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put herself "out there", be seen and shine. Janet needs to be willing to take on a leading role. She needs to be a hero - a protagonist in her own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities she possesses. Doing creative work that she is proud of - anything that comes from Jackson's heart and bears the stamp of Jackson's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than she is a way for Janet Jackson to grow and become more whole herself.

Janet Jackson should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems she faces. It is in Jackson's best interest to act on her own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for her. Janet Jackson needs to assert herself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. Janet needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick herself up, and go! She also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.
