Musetta Vander
challenges and difficulties

Vander 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. Musetta Vander 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 Musetta Vander feels that she does not have "enough" to make her feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) she has!

Musetta may be plagued by fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death. She strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for her.

On another level entirely, Musetta Vander is very careful about joining forces, and especially her material resources, with others. Vander wants to keep her own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Musetta Vander has a tendency to be overly critical of herself. She may be plagued by feelings of guilt about certain past events, leading to further self-doubt. Musetta must learn to handle her frustration, depression and discontent and try to overcome her lack of self-confidence.

Basically shy, Musetta may become a bit inhibited when talking with other people. Musetta Vander tends to withdraw from others and likes to live a humble, quiet life in seclusion. She may get involved with a group of a secretive nature, although Vander is not generally one to join groups.

Musetta Vander has a sense of duty and responsibility, but may find it difficult to make up her mind and come to a decision. Vander is somewhat slow to act, and her need to be fully prepared inclines her to let good opportunities slip away at times.

She is not afraid of hard work and leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of her objectives. Musetta Vander has a strong desire to overcome any difficulties or obstacles in her way and will do this at all cost, even if it means having to use force.

Musetta wants to go her own way and tends to withdraw into herself. She prefers to be alone and tends to cut herself off from other people. Musetta Vander may be a bit too serious and conservative.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Musetta Vander 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 Musetta Vander 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 Vander'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.

Musetta Vander 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 her marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. She may see the qualities that she needs to develop more fully (described above) in her partner. It is important for Musetta Vander to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Musetta Vander has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Musetta Vander back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Being bound to past events and experiences because of her desire to belong, deep attachments to family and the familiar (even if they are neither nourishing nor helpful), the desire to nurture or be nurtured by others, and a strong resistance to cutting the umbilical cord.

Musetta Vander tends to over-rely on luck or grace, living for tomorrow and gambling. Musetta is overconfident and tends to overextend herself and take on more than is humanly possible. Musetta is often dogmatic about her philosophy of life or religious beliefs.

Going to extremes, willful rebelliousness and an instinctive anti-authoritarian attitude. Musetta Vander seeks constant (and often purposeless) movement or change, involvement with unreliable people, and individual freedom at any cost.

She is very social and her relationships with others are very warm and expansive. It is essential for Musetta's emotional welfare to be surrounded by people and she is an active member of groups or associations she belongs to.
