If Elvis really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution:
– his coolness and distance
– his lack of consideration for others
– his rigidity
– his need for total control
– his fear of his emotions

Elvis Presley may experience discord in relationships. Although Elvis is friendly and outgoing and commits himself to friendships and partnerships, Elvis often finds it difficult to balance his own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs.

To understand and overcome this problem, Elvis 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 Elvis succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

Elvis Presley is restless and impatient. His dissatisfaction sometimes compels him to launch himself into an energetic effort to transform society. Because he has the ability to conceive of fairly radical models for social change, he sometimes demonstrates a desire to spearhead a progressive movement. However, his determination to impose his own ideas forcefully could turn off people he is so eager to help. He will do well to realize that only a transpersonal vision of the world (that is, a vision which transcends his own personal ego problems) is appropriate nourishment for the archetypes which could bring about a real transformation and improvement of social structures.
