Nico
challenges and difficulties

Nico has difficulty asserting her will and desires directly and openly. She may also suppress her anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in herself are important tasks for Nico.

She is serious by nature, and may have difficulty making small talk or participating in friendly, personal exchanges.

Nico tries to be strictly accurate and is critical of people who exaggerate or discuss subjects they really know little about. Nico withholds her thoughts and opinions until she has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Nico's silence discomforts others.

Her mental concentration is very good but her breadth of understanding may not be.

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

She is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on her path, but when under stress Nico becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what she has, she is apt to ignore the subtle signals she receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Nico needs to learn the limits of her ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for her. Nico also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Nico tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

It is in any involvements she has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Nico is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

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

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

Nico has a very obliging manner and is always in search of new relationships. She is able to identify with people quite easily and probably will make many friends who can be of help to her.

She is very obliging and always looks for relationships with other people. Nico tends to really feel at home with her family or in groups or associations that she may join. Nico has a strong desire to feel at one with her community.
