P.J. Harvey
challenges and difficulties

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

It may be difficult for P.J. Harvey to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

PJ may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, P.J. Harvey also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

The side of P.J. Harvey 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 as a result, and at times PJ finds it hard to relax. P.J. Harvey 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. Harvey's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in her life.

Her physical vitality and mental energy tend to be somewhat low. For this reason P.J. Harvey should try to avoid any unnecessary emotional and physical stress and maintain good health habits in order to enhance her resistance to illness.

Because she lacks self-confidence, P.J. Harvey has the feeling that her luck has abandoned her. She is inclined to sit and wait for the right opportunities to come along, place too much emphasis on wishful thinking, and then get disappointed when nothing happens.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which P.J. Harvey 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 P.J. Harvey 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 Harvey'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.

P.J. Harvey 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 way of thinking, processing information and communicating that P.J. Harvey is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Harvey's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, she needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

The specific habits which are likely to hold P.J. Harvey 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.

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in her life.

Staying in relationships with domineering, controlling, abusive people or being manipulative. PJ sometimes abuses her own power to use others to her own selfish ends.

P.J. Harvey thinks of others before she thinks of herself and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is deeply concerned with the community she lives in, loves her family and relatives and has a strong need to maintain close relationships with them.
