If Tom Cruise 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 continual need for security
– his tendency to escape into fantasy
– his hunger for approval
– his longing for the past
– his fear of the future
– his investment systems

As we suggested earlier, Tom Cruise is endowed with great sensitivity and has profound aspirations, especially romantic ones. Nevertheless, his spirit is sometimes too delicate for him to have armored and structured himself for the constraints of life out there in the real world. Moreover, he sees little point in devoting himself to fulfilling the demands of practical reality, which strike him as rather futile and empty. His escapes into his fantasy world give him the illusion of a much greater reward. He tends to gloss over his vision of other people, and when they reveal their imperfections and incompetence, he feels guilty for them and suffers from his own vulnerability and illusions. He would do well to try to be more selective about the people he associates with; when he is moving in a dream world, he attracts the kind of dishonest people who are likely to take advantage of him.

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