Jon Finch
challenges and difficulties

Finch either overvalues or undervalues his possessions and assets. He can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Jon Finch 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 Jon Finch feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

He may have vague but ever-present feelings of guilt and fear that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Jon Finch does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Jon Finch must learn to overcome his ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Jon Finch pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined and thorough manner, and he is willing to take his time, advancing slowly and steadily toward his goal.

Sometimes Jon Finch underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

He is inclined to exercise self-control and tries to suppress his inner excitability or irritability. However, Finch can be somewhat self-willed and determined to be independent. If Jon Finch feels that someone is holding him down too much, he may suddenly break up the relationship.

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

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

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

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Jon Finch should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials he feels he possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

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

Jon Finch should become more aware of the spiritual side of life and its underlying unity by getting involved in charitable activities and opening up his psychic channels. Meditation that develops Finch's intuitive abilities, as well as learning about the unseen side of life through his own dream experiences or altered states of awareness, can be important steps in Jon's path.

Moreover, musical and artistic or imaginative endeavors will be important to him.
