Philippe Junot
challenges and difficulties

Junot either overvalues or undervalues his possessions and assets. He can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Philippe Junot may deny himself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. He may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Philippe Junot feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

Philippe Junot has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life that colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Philippe limits himself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in himself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness. Others find Philippe Junot difficult to get to know intimately, as Junot tends to distance himself from them or to outwardly adopt a rather stern, "adult" demeanor.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Philippe Junot will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Philippe feel a little out of step with others. Philippe Junot takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Philippe feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Philippe Junot has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to him, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

He may frequently feel hindered or oppressed by other people and may suddenly join forces with others in order to overcome difficulties. Philippe Junot seems to be afraid of his own courage and may find it hard to express his desires.

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

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Philippe stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Philippe Junot has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Philippe Junot feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Philippe Junot calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Philippe Junot needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

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

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

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

Philippe likes beautiful surroundings and knows how to create harmony in his environment. Philippe Junot loves to be around people and has a strong desire to be influential in social circles.
