Jill St. John
challenges and difficulties

St. John either overvalues or undervalues her possessions and assets. She can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Jill St. John may deny herself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of her labors. She may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Jill St. John feels that she does not have "enough" to make her feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) she has!

She is serious by nature, and may have difficulty making small talk or participating in friendly, personal exchanges.

Jill St. John tries to be strictly accurate and is critical of people who exaggerate or discuss subjects they really know little about. St. John withholds her thoughts and opinions until she has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Jill's silence discomforts others.

Her mental concentration is very good but her breadth of understanding may not be.

Her aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Jill St. John pursues her aims in a systematic, disciplined and thorough manner, and she is willing to take her time, advancing slowly and steadily toward her goal.

Sometimes Jill St. John underestimates what is possible, and holds herself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

Jill St. John may often be coerced into doing things that she does not want to do, leaving her frustrated, irritable and touchy. Jill could turn hard and unforgiving toward others and may break up some important relationships.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Jill St. John 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 Jill St. John 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, Jill stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Jill St. John 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 Jill St. John feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Jill St. John calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Jill St. John 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 relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Jill St. John has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. St. John 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.
