Jeanette MacDonald
challenges and difficulties

Jeanette has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave her feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with her peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for MacDonald.

Jeanette MacDonald takes her commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Her strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes MacDonald a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but she often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between her and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Jeanette MacDonald and it may seem that she is always "working on" her marriage rather than enjoying it. However, MacDonald will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Jeanette MacDonald has a desire to break away from tradition and to free herself from restrictive conditions. Somewhat inflexible and rigid, she may suddenly become inhibited before she sets out on her goals, which could be to MacDonald's detriment.

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

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Jeanette stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Jeanette MacDonald has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Jeanette MacDonald feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Jeanette MacDonald calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Jeanette MacDonald needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in her way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Jeanette MacDonald is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In MacDonald's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, she needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

Because of certain people and circumstances in her environment, Jeanette MacDonald may sometimes find it difficult to follow her ambitions. It could be to Jeanette's advantage to sever her relationships with those who control or try to abuse her.

MacDonald is inclined to seek out relationships with people who have the same interests and she has a desire to work with them on obtaining mutual objectives. Some of Jeanette's contacts or introductions could come about suddenly.
