Mackenzie Phillips
challenges and difficulties
Mackenzie Phillips has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Mackenzie is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Mackenzie Phillips often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.
There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Phillips' which may inhibit her a great deal. Mackenzie Phillips must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.
Mackenzie Phillips takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of her at work that she compromise her health. Mackenzie can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough.

The direction Mackenzie Phillips needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.
Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary.

Mackenzie Phillips has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Mackenzie Phillips feel that "it is me against the world".
