challenges and difficulties

Jason Bere may deny himself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. He may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Jason Bere feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

Jason Bere takes his commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. His strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Bere a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but he often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between him and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it.

However, Bere will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Finding inner strength through spirituality and attunement to a higher source is ultimately the answer for him.
