Michael Palin
challenges and difficulties

Palin doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Michael is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

Palin is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Michael Palin does participate in a group, he may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or he may simply feel that he does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Michael Palin better than being with groups of his own peers.

Michael tries to keep his sensuality under control and is likely to suppress the tension he feels in his love relationships. At times he could feel somewhat emotionally inhibited, while at others, Michael Palin may have a strong wish to break all moral barriers.

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

Michael Palin's path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Palin's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Michael Palin is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Michael should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Michael Palin can offer the world at large.

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Michael Palin needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Michael Palin should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.
