Tilda Swinton
challenges and difficulties

Tilda Swinton has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Tilda is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack the capacity for joy and play. Tilda Swinton often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Swinton's that may inhibit her a great deal. Tilda Swinton must avoid becoming cumbersome and cynical, or a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose sense of practicality and realism rob her of the playful, imaginative side of life.

Tilda Swinton has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life that colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Tilda limits herself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in herself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness. Others find Tilda Swinton difficult to get to know intimately, as Swinton tends to distance herself from them or to outwardly adopt a rather stern, "adult" demeanor.

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

Her natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing her situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing her situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Tilda Swinton copes with stress. Tilda Swinton also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

Her development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Tilda Swinton to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Tilda Swinton has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Swinton 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.

The following are specific activities that will support Tilda Swinton in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Swinton, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Tilda Swinton's path to wholeness involves confronting her dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming herself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Swinton's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for Tilda.

She is a born leader and has the ability to persuade members of a group or association she belongs to. Swinton always promotes the fostering of good fellowship and teamwork, which ensures the success of any plans or joint undertakings she may pursue.

Tilda Swinton thinks of others before she thinks of herself and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is deeply concerned with the community she lives in, loves her family and relatives and has a strong need to maintain close relationships with them.

Her relationships with others may be rather unstable and unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, Tilda Swinton avoids opposition and escapes her responsibilities. In her relationships she is likely to choose people who are asocial.
