Lenny Kravitz
challenges and difficulties

Lenny Kravitz 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 Kravitz.

Lenny Kravitz takes his commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. His strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Kravitz a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but he often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between him and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Lenny Kravitz and it may seem that he is always "working on" his marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Kravitz will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Lenny Kravitz 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 Lenny has to or should do and what his spontaneous impulses tell him to do. All of this creates enormous inner tension as well as friction with people in his environment. Lenny Kravitz may, for instance, bitterly resent government or authority figures who "crush his individuality", yet ignore his obligations and responsibilities, thus ensuring that they will pursue him. Learning to give each side its due is an ongoing challenge for Kravitz.

Lenny Kravitz may often be coerced into doing things that he does not want to do, leaving him frustrated, irritable and touchy. Lenny could turn hard and unforgiving toward others and may break up some important relationships.

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

When under stress, Lenny Kravitz is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Lenny Kravitz's growth. Lenny Kravitz needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

It is in any involvements he has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Lenny Kravitz is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

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

He needs to give and receive affection, love and pleasure (primarily with the qualities described previously). Lenny Kravitz has to learn to respond to, appreciate and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships. He needs to be aware of aesthetics and to do things in a gracious, pleasing manner. Lenny Kravitz has to start enjoying life, nurturing friendships and cultivating his ability to love and to receive love.
