Emmylou Harris’s confidence in herself sometimes falters, and she might try to compensate for this weakness by insisting on her authority over others. With the people she is emotionally committed to, the same nagging feelings of insecurity prevent her from expressing her generosity and love fully; her extreme independence sometimes hides an inability to abandon herself and a lack of assurance.

You have a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding your identity. Perhaps your father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during your childhood, which deprived you of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because you lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, you were forced to protect yourself against negative influences and find your own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to you as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with your evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber your mind or inhibit your developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for you to assert yourself, and you tend to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because your authoritarian urges are mainly directed at yourself rather than others, you sometimes feel guilty about your behavior. You judge yourself severely, and sometimes punishes yourself by setting difficult tasks for yourself. Gradually, you should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

You are an extremely sensitive and receptive person who is constantly surrounded by a flood of sensations and impressions. It can be difficult for you to communicate your feelings to other people or to engage in any structured, analytical thought. This may be because you experienced difficulty as a child when you were unable to understand your teachers’ disciplinary measures and authority. As a result, you withdrew into yourself and constructed your own inner life, which they couldn’t invade. This allowed you to indulge in your passions without having to worry about what others thought of you. However, because you enjoyed this inner life so much, it can be difficult for you to acquire an objective vision of reality. As a result, you tend to create imaginary problems for yourself, regardless of the objective facts outside. Although your imagination is a source of inspiration and intuition, your fluid inner structure and organization can occasionally make it difficult for you to grasp the essence of your dreams and share them with other people. You are not at all combative, and this can hinder your efforts to fit into society and assert yourself productively. You are more likely to prefer fantasy to reality, but your refusal to abandon your dreams can be a psychological trap you have fallen into without realizing it. You must understand that by running away from your obligations and commitments, you only increase the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once you free yourself from this pernicious process, you have a great deal of potential for fulfilling yourself in the outer world, either by devoting yourself to some kind of social work or by cultivating your considerable artistic talents.

Emmylou Harris generally tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. She tends to give the best of herself in difficult situations which require crucial choices. Her ability to concentrate and her gift for solving problems by deductive reasoning are her chief resources in crisis situations or at turning points in her life.

Emmylou Harris prefers to adhere to a plan before taking any actions. Her behavior reflects this tendency. She will often adhere to more rigid models, which are based on logical or moral reasons. She does not readily express her personal feelings or emotions, and this may sometimes make her seem rigid to others. However, her conscientiousness and application make her thrive in a work environment, and she tends to treat social engagements and activities as a form of duty. Emmylou’s natural taste for clarity, detail, and technique would make her successful as a scientific researcher or high-tech designer.

Emmylou Harris maintains strong ties with her past, and it often seems difficult for her to open her heart to new people. Her love affairs might exist on the surface level, because her lust and sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for her to meet partners who combine the ideals of the tender parent and the great lover.

Emmylou Harris’ sensitivity often overwhelms her partners, and her compassion for the other is profound. She readily sacrifices her own interest to others, to provide help and assistance. A romantic as well as an idealist, she sometimes lacks discernment in the choice of her partners. She is fairly confused and evasive and has trouble expressing her feelings clearly. Nevertheless, she is capable of devoting herself entirely to the person she loves. She has a tendency to daydream and become lost in herself.

Emmylou Harris was born with an emotional function that is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, she is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Emmylou Harris tries to be patient with nature, but she can’t help but be dissatisfied with everything. She wants to subject her sexual and sentimental urges to her mind’s control, but if she’s happy with her companion, she’ll be an excellent partner devoted to her flock.

Emmylou Harris’ love life is full of ambivalence. Although she is sentimental, she is likely to be fickle sometimes, and despite her deep sensual urges, she may sometimes be extremely idealistic and spiritual. The result is relative instability and confusion. She might suddenly allow herself to be enchanted by a dream person when she is in the midst of trying to control her sex drive and attain true spiritual fulfillment. Conversely, she may commit herself to an exceptional marriage based on mutual devotion and great high-mindedness.

You are hypersensitive and tend to relive the anxieties, apprehensions, and romantic absolutes of your first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. You are exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. You will not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. You are sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to her. You usually hide your emotional reactions or do not even allow them to reach the level of your consciousness, in an effort to protect your sensitivity, which you see as your weak point. You are fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, you will disguise your strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside you, and you feel unworthy of the love which is lavished on you. This psychological prohibition which rules over all of your desires and affects should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, your fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of your romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if you want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify yourself emotionally, the defense mechanisms you have elaborated to make yourself inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled. Any profound relationship will also require that you learn how to forget yourself occasionally in the other.

Emmylou Harris has a rather rational mind and a modest intellect, which is usually subject to the rule of her well-mannered imagination. Although she is likely to have flashes of intuition which may prove to be correct, her thought processes are sometimes tidy and sequential. Her mind, which is oriented in many different directions at the same time, is ruled by her emotions and feelings. In tune with psychic and parapsychic phenomena, her thinking requires only the adjunct of structure to rise from the level of a blurry, uncertain, undifferentiated mass to that of a really significant vision with a grip on the real world.

Emmylou Harris expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.
