Selena
challenges and difficulties

Selena either overvalues or undervalues her possessions and assets. She can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Selena may deny herself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of her labors. She may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Selena feels that she does not have "enough" to make her feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) she has!

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

But Selena is very judgmental and hard on herself if she fails to attain success, and she can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize her efforts.

She is inclined to exercise self-control and tries to suppress her inner excitability or irritability. However, Selena can be somewhat self-willed and determined to be independent. If Selena feels that someone is holding her down too much, she may suddenly break up the relationship.

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

Selena's path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Selena's actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Selena's life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Selena'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?" Selena's focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

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

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 Selena to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Selena has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.

Selena has an extremely magnetic personality along with strong sexual attraction. Selena tends to put her heart and soul into her work and may prefer to work with partners of the opposite sex.
