If you want to improve, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses that may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. These could include your defensive attitudes, your fear of being dispossessed, your ambivalence, your radicalism, and your over-reliance on your instincts.

Emma Stauffer may experience discord in relationships. Although she is friendly and outgoing and commits herself to friendships and partnerships, she often finds it difficult to balance her own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. To understand and overcome this problem, 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.

Emma Stauffer is fairly organized. She is able to work long and hard to achieve her goals and elaborates fairly rigid strategies to protect herself against any foreseeable obstacles. She is so absorbed in her business that she does not always realize that she tends to be somewhat peremptory with the people around her and that she might do well to soften her tone and be more tactful at times. Her friendships seem stifling and superfluous to her, and she is sometimes tormented by inner conflict when she is forced to submit to another’s will. To succeed, work to be less dogmatic. Trust in yourself and other people and flexibility.
