Kennedy understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But John F. Kennedy is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

John F. Kennedy takes his ideals and dreams very seriously and goes through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision. John has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but he can also become so involved in his imaginative, idealistic pursuits that he looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

John could find it difficult to express himself and consequently he feels inhibited and lonely at times. He tends to isolate himself from others and his relationships seem strained. Conditions in John F. Kennedy's parental home may be oppressive and constrained.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which John F.

The direction John F. Kennedy needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

John F. Kennedy has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that he is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, John F. Kennedy needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.
