Juan Román Riquelme
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Riquelme. Juan Román Riquelme tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Juan.

He may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Juan Román Riquelme does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Juan Román Riquelme 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.

Somewhat shy, Juan finds it difficult to relate to people and tends to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for Juan Román Riquelme to establish relationships, he would rather be by himself. Juan likes everything simple or plain and prefers a more humble and secluded life.

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

Social skills and graces and what Juan Román Riquelme calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Juan Román Riquelme 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 his relationships with others that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Juan Román Riquelme between acting spontaneously and being true to himself versus modifying himself or his behavior to suit others. Juan Román Riquelme seesaws between being inordinately concerned with his self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about him. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Riquelme's task.

He enjoys relationships with others who can tune into the spiritual world and Juan Román Riquelme is likely to join groups or associations that sponsor psychics and that explore the connection with karmic influences.

Juan Román Riquelme tends to be a bit too idealistic and may place too much hope on his relationships, resulting in frequent disappointments. Juan could be attracted to naive people, but some of his contacts also may turn out to be swindlers.
