Rita Hayworth
challenges and difficulties

She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Hayworth. Rita Hayworth tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Rita.

Her childhood or her relationships with her parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Rita from allowing other people to get close to her in later life. Rita Hayworth felt deprived in some manner, whether or not she actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of her needs and feelings may typify her early life, at least as Hayworth remembers it. Forgiving her parents and/or letting go of any resentments she has about the limitations that she experienced early in her life is crucial. Also, Rita Hayworth needs to build her own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into her home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Rita accomplish this.

Rita Hayworth seesaws between playing it safe, and doing something unique and original, between self-control and letting loose, between being a responsible adult and a rebellious adolescent, between what Rita has to or should do and what her spontaneous impulses tell her to do. All of this creates enormous inner tension as well as friction with people in her environment. Rita Hayworth may, for instance, bitterly resent government or authority figures who "crush her individuality", yet ignore her obligations and responsibilities, thus ensuring that they will pursue her. Learning to give each side its due is an ongoing challenge for Hayworth.

At some time in her life Rita Hayworth could have a possible tragedy in love relationships that affects her deeply. Some disturbing experiences may rest heavily on her shoulders and as a result, Rita may turn cold or bitter.

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

It is easy for Rita Hayworth to become distracted from her path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to her. Rita Hayworth needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Rita directs her attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", she is apt to dabble, scatter her energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for her life and aligning her daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Hayworth's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward her personal development.

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

The following are specific activities that will support Rita Hayworth in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Hayworth, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Rita Hayworth should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems she faces. It is in Hayworth's best interest to act on her own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for her. Rita Hayworth needs to assert herself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. Rita needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick herself up, and go! She also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.

Rita Hayworth tends to have deep bonds with the people she associates with and is likely to encounter some unusual or fated relationships. Some of her contacts could be with very influential people who may be of help to Hayworth in the future.
