Venus Williams
challenges and difficulties

Venus Williams has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Williams knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Venus Williams may be something of a hypochondriac also. Venus must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

She may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Venus Williams does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Venus Williams must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

Venus Williams strives and struggles a great deal with her ideals or spiritual aspirations. She may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or she may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, she can never quite divorce herself from her idealistic concerns.

Venus Williams has a tendency to feel inadequate, perhaps even unlovable, and she tends to withdraw from others. Consequently, Williams may feel lonely and out of touch with everyone and that she has no support from anyone.

Venus dislikes tense or frustrating situations and has a strong desire to free herself from them. Acting quickly at times, Venus suddenly overcomes her inner inhibitions. Venus Williams also has the ability to grasp difficult situations correctly and to use them for her advancement.

Basically shy, Williams tends to be somewhat inhibited in love relationships and may feel uncomfortable or awkward expressing her love for someone. Venus Williams longs for love relationships and dreams about love, but she is also inclined to torment herself because of a seeming lack of affection.

Not very adaptable, Venus Williams tends to be rebellious and fight hard against oppression. This could even lead to violent incidents, so Venus should try to keep her temper under control. She may have to work extremely hard and may have a lot of responsibilities that she cannot let go.

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

Venus Williams' path lies in her development as an individual, the discovery of her own strengths and joys, the capacity to express her uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Williams' instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Venus Williams is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, she may believe that striving to do her personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Venus should let go of this notion. Finding her own center and doing what gives her delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Venus Williams can offer the world at large.

It is in any involvements she has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Venus Williams is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

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

Venus Williams should care for and nourish children, plants, pets or other people. She needs to make a home, create and sustain strong relationships with her family or a community that can support her and give her a sense of safety and belonging.

Venus Williams should develop her listening skills and deepen her understanding and appreciation of women and their perspective. Venus Williams has to learn to trust her own feelings, intuitions and emotional needs. She needs to care for herself in an accepting, non-judgmental way.

It is in Venus Williams' best interest to take all that is good and helpful from her past and use it in a new way. (If she is so inclined, Venus may want to explore the potential of past-life regression to tap into gifts she has already developed).

Venus Williams loves to show off the strength that she possesses and she has a strong desire to dominate others. Venus seems to have an exuberant craving for recognition and importance and a need to influence and lead large groups of people.

Venus Williams has a very obliging manner and is always in search for new relationships. She is able to identify with people quite easily and probably will make many friends who can be of help to her.

She is reserved and somewhat conservative in presenting her viewpoints to others and prefers a philosophical discussion rather than small talk. Venus Williams is quite selective in her choice of subjects and only wants to study what is really of interest to her.

Williams makes a big impression on everyone she meets and has the ability to attract many people. Others find Venus Williams very fascinating and she is likely to see herself as their model or example in groups or associations.
