Andrea Salinas became aware of her weaknesses and began to work on them. She began by acknowledging her overweening ego, and then worked on reducing her need to show off and her aggressiveness. She also worked on reducing her excesses.

Andrea Salinas feels a conflict between her desire for social and professional success and her need for a stable, secure domestic life. She is deeply committed to both ideas and does not always succeed in reconciling their schedules and demands on her. Sometimes it feels as though she will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy her if she has neglected her most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to her to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if she merely sacrifices her domestic life, she is only trying to fool herself. She should accept the fact that her domestic life is the true basis and foundation of her development. All her career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Andrea Salinas has found it difficult to balance her own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. She often finds it difficult to understand and overcome this problem, and in order to do so, she should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If she succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what kind of intimate relationship she and her partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

Andrea Salinas experiences conflict in relationships due to her tendency to be self-focused and impulsively take charge. Her certainty that she is bound to succeed, combined with aggressiveness, makes her want to take charge of everything. This lack of cooperation and resentment could arouse in others. Andrea would do well to meditate on the concepts of authority and individualism.

Andrea Salinas is sensitive and impressionable. This can be a productive and creative factor, but if she does not manage to control her emotionalism, it can also hamper her adaptation to the realities of life. Were that to be the case, her ability to find happiness within herself could gradually cut her off from her environment. She must thus work on detaching herself from her emotions and getting a handle on her sensitivity. Her intuitive ability to perceive other people’s inner energies could predestine her for a socially oriented career. As a caregiver, healer, helper, guide, or advisor, she could succeed in teaching, psychology or psychiatry, or social work.
