Rudolf Nureyev
challenges and difficulties

Rudolf has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for Nureyev.

He is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with his duty, his public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Rudolf Nureyev understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But Rudolf Nureyev is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

His attitude toward life is quite serious and he is very thorough. Rudolf has the need to be by himself and think out everything very carefully before he takes action. Rudolf Nureyev may enjoy doing some type of creative artwork involving hard or heavy materials.

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

He is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on his path, but when under stress Rudolf Nureyev becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what he has, he is apt to ignore the subtle signals he receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Rudolf Nureyev needs to learn the limits of his ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for him. Nureyev also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward his appetites and desires, as Rudolf Nureyev tends to overindulge and/or deny himself excessively.

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Rudolf Nureyev should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials he feels he possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

He is very obliging in his interaction with other people and can easily relate to them. Rudolf Nureyev is likely to have many friends and acquaintances who share the same ideas and viewpoints as he does.

Rudolf Nureyev has a very sympathetic and compassionate attitude toward others and shows an interest in their well-being. His relationships are more on a personal basis and people are drawn to Nureyev because of his sincerity and kindness.

Because of rigid and somewhat unpleasant family relationships, Rudolf Nureyev is inclined to seclude himself from others. He may prefer to live in archaic surroundings and may be interested in antiques.
