Trusting others and letting herself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Reba, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Reba McEntire is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for McEntire.

It may be difficult for Reba McEntire 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.

Reba 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, Reba McEntire also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

Once she decides what she wants to do, Reba McEntire will pursue her goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for her deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Reba feel a little out of step with others. Reba McEntire 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 Reba feels and how driven she is about the things that are important to her. Reba McEntire has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to her, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

Reba McEntire has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Reba McEntire needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Reba McEntire needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.
