Simon MacCorkindale
challenges and difficulties

Simon MacCorkindale takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing experience. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Simon enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Simon MacCorkindale also fears entrapment in close relationships.

His childhood or his relationship with his parents was restrictive, unloving or unhappy in ways that may prevent Simon from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Simon MacCorkindale feels that he was deprived in one form or another, regardless of whether he actually was or not. His early life - at least as MacCorkindale remembers it - may have been marked by emotional separation or repression of his needs and feelings. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Simon MacCorkindale needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Simon accomplish this task.

Simon MacCorkindale tends to seesaw between hope, optimism and faith versus doubt and oppression due to limitations and practical realities. He needs to overcome impatience and restlessness in order to achieve his dreams and desires for a better life.

Simon MacCorkindale takes his ideals and dreams very seriously and goes through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision. Simon has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but he can also become so involved in his imaginative, idealistic pursuits that he looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

Simon MacCorkindale becomes tense and upset rather easily. He becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In his eagerness to see his inspirations materialize, MacCorkindale is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving his goals. His occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Simon tries to keep his sensuality under control and is likely to suppress the tension he feels in his love relationships. At times he could feel somewhat emotionally inhibited, while at others, Simon MacCorkindale may have a strong wish to break all moral barriers.

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

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance MacCorkindale's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, he is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and he can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

Simon MacCorkindale has to learn to relax and surrender to the flow of events without having to figure everything out all the time. He should let his feelings and intuitions flow more freely, be more flexible and fluid, use his imagination and let his dreams emerge!

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Simon MacCorkindale has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. MacCorkindale will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.
