Prince Charles of Wales
challenges and difficulties

Prince Charles has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. He is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that he discourages himself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Windsor knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Prince Charles may be something of a hypochondriac also. Charles must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Prince Charles works very hard to ensure that his assets are solid. He may be very conservative, even stingy, with his money because he is afraid there will not be enough. He may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

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

Prince Charles benefits by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world, learning to slow down and allow life to unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some other living, growing thing gives Prince Charles a sense of inner balance.

Prince Charles has a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take anything at face value and to see hidden agendas and dark motives even where none exist! Life does not have to be a constant conflict... Charles needs to learn to accept things as they are.

Windsor also needs to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding himself in his daily work and behaving consistently and reliably towards others.

It is in his public life and career that Prince Charles is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Windsor's reputation and standing in his community or professional circle, as well as how Prince Charles achieves his important life goals and aspirations.

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

Excessive thinking, rationalizing or talking, the overuse or misuse of Windsor's intellectual abilities and the tendency to allow his energy to be dissipated in trivial activities.

The following are specific activities that will support Prince Charles in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Windsor, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Prince Charles should care for and nourish children, plants, pets or other people. He needs to make a home, create and sustain strong relationships with his family or a community that can support him and give him a sense of safety and belonging.

Prince Charles should develop his listening skills and deepen his understanding and appreciation of women and their perspective. Prince Charles has to learn to trust his own feelings, intuitions and emotional needs. He needs to care for himself in an accepting, non-judgmental way.

It is in Prince Charles' best interest to take all that is good and helpful from his past and use it in a new way. (If he is so inclined, Charles may want to explore the potential of past-life regression to tap into gifts he has already developed).

Prince Charles has a friendly, open and sociable manner and a strong desire to cultivate relationships with warm and congenial people. He may enjoy participating in artistic events and he likes to associate with art lovers.
