Rosa Bonheur
challenges and difficulties

Rosa has difficulty asserting her will and desires directly and openly. She may also suppress her anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in herself are important tasks for Bonheur.

Rosa Bonheur takes her commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Her strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Bonheur a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but she often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between her and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Rosa Bonheur and it may seem that she is always "working on" her marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Bonheur will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Her aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Rosa Bonheur pursues her aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and she is willing to takes her time, advancing slowly and steadily on her way towards her goal.

Sometimes Rosa Bonheur underestimates what is possible, and holds herself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

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

Rosa Bonheur's path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Bonheur's actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Bonheur's life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Bonheur's ideals is one way to do this.

When under stress she is likely to become overly focused on herself and her own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Bonheur's focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Rosa Bonheur needs to strike a balance between doing for herself and doing for others, by discovering how Bonheur's unique gifts can benefit others.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Bonheur's inner, personal life and her career or involvement with the world at large that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Rosa Bonheur needs to focus attention on her home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Rosa Bonheur back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

The need to be first all of the time and demonstrate an aggressive or bossy attitude, impatience or irritability; an over-eagerness to use force or violence to gain advantage and the tendency to resort to fighting or using confrontation too quickly.
