Julian Ríos
challenges and difficulties

Julian 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. Julian Ríos 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 Julian Ríos feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

It may be difficult for Julian Ríos 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.

Julian 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, Julian Ríos also needs to learn to relax and enjoy himself more.

Julian forges ahead diligently, but may have to work harder than others to gain recognition for his efforts. Reserved and shy, Julian Ríos tends to build a wall between himself and others and he seems to be more receptive to older and more mature people.

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

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance Julian's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, he is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and he can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

Julian Ríos has to learn to relax and surrender to the flow of events without having to figure everything out all the time. He should let his feelings and intuitions flow more freely, be more flexible and fluid, use his imagination and let his dreams emerge!

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Julian Ríos needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Julian Ríos should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.
