She absolutely cannot tolerate being passive or even patient about getting what she wants. Ada Lovelace feels that it is up to her to take the initiative and she pursues her goal or desire very aggressively.

She is also self-reliant, in that she does not depend on others to do things for her or help her along, and Ada Lovelace is often irritated when other people offer advice or direction. Cooperation rarely comes easily to her. She is willful and can be quite oblivious to others' desires or feelings when she is pursuing something she wants. She is highly competitive, enjoys a challenge or a good fight, and may be downright pugnacious at times. Abounding in energy and enthusiasm at the start of a new venture, Ada Lovelace needs a very positive response and encouragement in order to sustain her interest throughout. If a project is not successful from the start, she is liable to drop it and move on to something else rather than rework or refine it. She has a strong desire to blaze new trails and put her own twist to things. Countess Ada of Lovelace can discover, invent and initiate new things, but she is impatient and may lack the stamina and perseverance needed see a long-term project through.

She is a doer and an achiever. Energetic, courageous, and often impatient, Ada Lovelace will forge ahead with her plans regardless of others' reservations.

In meeting her challenges and difficulties in life, Ada Lovelace does have allies: her ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, her ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort.

She may have to overcome something in her background or personal past in order to achieve her long-range goals and ambitions.
