Mariah Carey
challenges and difficulties

Carey either overvalues or undervalues her possessions and assets. She can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Mariah Carey may deny herself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of her labors. She may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Mariah Carey feels that she does not have "enough" to make her feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) she has!

She is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with her duty, her public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Mariah Carey understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and she is capable of much self-discipline and patience once she sets her sights on a goal.

But Mariah Carey is very judgmental and hard on herself if she fails to attain success, and she can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize her efforts.

Mariah Carey tends to seesaw between hope, optimism, and faith versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. She needs to overcome impatience and restlessness in order to achieve her dreams and desires for a better life.

The side of Mariah Carey that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with her urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Mariah finds it hard to relax. Mariah Carey may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on herself, in an attempt to strictly control her "wild" impulses. Carey's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in her life.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Mariah Carey 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 Mariah Carey 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 Carey's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, she is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and she can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

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

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 Mariah Carey is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Mariah Carey needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Carey.

Mariah likes beautiful surroundings and knows how to create harmony in her environment. Mariah Carey loves to be around people and has a strong desire to be influential in social circles.
