John Huston
challenges and difficulties

John Huston often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something he cannot name or specify, and he 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 Huston.

It may be difficult for John Huston to play spontaneously or just let his hair down, for he tends to inhibit that side of his by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression he is making.

John may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for he wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though he may indeed be outstanding, John Huston also needs to learn to relax and enjoy himself more.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which John Huston instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction John Huston needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

John Huston's path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Huston's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress John Huston is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but John should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution John Huston can offer the world at large.

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

The following are specific activities that will support John Huston in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Huston, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

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

John Huston should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Huston's best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for him. John Huston needs to assert himself 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. John needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.

Not at all selfish, John Huston has the ability to share the joy he feels with other people. John seems to have a gift for getting more reserved people to open up, teaching them how to give and receive love and affection.
