Michael Douglas needs to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with his "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, he may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. His feelings and loyalties run deep, but he often does not let people know how much he cares. Michael Douglas also needs to learn to relax, enjoy himself, and play sometimes.

He is likely to be a great collector of things - a real pack rat in fact - for his belongings give Michael Douglas a sense of security and continuity with the past, which is important to him. Antiques or things with sentimental value from Michael's past are especially dear to him.

Michael Douglas may also cling rather tightly to money and possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing freely with those outside of his immediate circle.

He is a dreamer, attracted to the inner, mystical side of life, and may have trouble distinguishing the real from the imagined or illusory. Michael does not enjoy confrontation and becomes very evasive when problems in his personal life or relationships arise, escaping into his imagination in order to avoid dealing with them directly. He is also rather gullible and naive about people, especially if his sympathy has been aroused. Michael Douglas is very sensitive to music and can use it to bring himself into emotional balance and harmony.
