Margaux Hemingway
challenges and difficulties

Hemingway both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting herself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Margaux, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Margaux Hemingway is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Hemingway.

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

Once she decides what she wants to do, Margaux Hemingway will pursue her goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for her deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Margaux feel a little out of step with others. Margaux Hemingway takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Margaux feels and how driven she is about the things that are important to her. Margaux Hemingway has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to her, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

She is a bit skeptical, somewhat irritable, and others may think of Margaux Hemingway as quarrelsome or nagging. Her nervousness seems to stem from her tendency to over-work herself, and Hemingway should try not to make more demands on others than they are able to handle.

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

Margaux Hemingway has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Margaux Hemingway needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Margaux Hemingway needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures that Margaux Hemingway is most likely to wrestle with these issues.
