Laura Dern
challenges and difficulties

Laura Dern often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something she cannot name or specify, and she 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 Dern.

Laura Dern has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Laura limits herself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in herself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Laura Dern difficult to get to know intimately, as Dern tends to distance herself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Laura Dern seesaws between playing it safe, and doing something unique and original, between self-control and letting loose, between being a responsible adult and a rebellious adolescent, between what Laura has to or should do and what her spontaneous impulses tell her to do. All of this creates enormous inner tension as well as friction with people in her environment. Laura Dern may, for instance, bitterly resent government or authority figures who "crush her individuality", yet ignore her obligations and responsibilities, thus ensuring that they will pursue her. Learning to give each side its due is an ongoing challenge for Dern.

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

Laura Dern benefits by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world, learning to slow down and allow life to unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some other living, growing thing gives Laura Dern a sense of inner balance.

Laura Dern has a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take anything at face value and to see hidden agendas and dark motives even where none exist! Life does not have to be a constant conflict... Laura needs to learn to accept things as they are.

Dern also needs to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding herself in her daily work and behaving consistently and reliably towards others.

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

She is very social minded and it is easy for Laura Dern to show her affection. Her family or community probably provided good possibilities for her development. Dern may love to show off a little and she thrives on being involved with others in joyful group activities.
