Ron Howard
general characteristics

Ron Howard's fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).

Howard's "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Ron is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that he needs to consciously develop that particular aspect in order to appreciate and/or work harder in that dimension of life.

Sometimes we overestimate the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following pages.

It is very difficult for Ron Howard to be objective and detached, or to view a situation from anyone else's point of view - his own feelings and personal experiences color Ron's judgment too much. Though he may sympathize or feel for others, Ron may in fact not really understand where they are coming from. Ron Howard needs to develop the ability to stand back, reflect on life and analyze a situation logically. It is also essential that Howard learn to communicate. Because Ron senses and feels so much, he may expect others to know what he is experiencing without filling them in. As mentioned earlier, words do not come easily to Ron Howard but he would benefit greatly by learning to articulate and express himself verbally - otherwise he can stew in his own feelings too much, or find himself at the mercy of his own poorly-understood emotional patterns.

Fortunately, as you will read in the next chapter, Ron Howard does have an active, spirited way of expressing himself, which helps him overcome his tendency towards indolence. He picks himself up and keeps going after being emotionally bruised. He is a survivor. Ron Howard can become very angry when frustrated, so he should try and find ways to vent anger when necessary.
