Susan Sarandon
challenges and difficulties

She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Sarandon. Susan Sarandon tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Susan.

Susan Sarandon takes her commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Her strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Sarandon 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 Susan Sarandon and it may seem that she is always "working on" her marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Sarandon will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Susan has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Susan Sarandon needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve her aspirations. Sarandon will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

She is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Sarandon is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Susan Sarandon is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate her innermost feelings and thoughts.

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

Susan Sarandon needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Susan's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Sarandon's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Susan Sarandon to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Susan Sarandon is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Susan Sarandon needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

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

She is very social and her relationships with others are very warm and expansive. It is essential for Susan's emotional welfare to be surrounded by people and she is an active member of groups or associations she belongs to.
