Cooperation rarely comes easily to him. He is willful and can be quite oblivious to others' desires or feelings when he is pursuing something he wants. He 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, Aldous Huxley needs a very positive response and encouragement in order to sustain his interest throughout. If a project is not successful from the start, he is liable to drop it and move on to something else rather than rework or refine it. He has a strong desire to blaze new trails and put his own twist to things. Huxley can discover, invent and initiate new things, but he is impatient and may lack the stamina and perseverance needed see a long-term project through.

If his energy is not invested in a job or career, Aldous Huxley can become fanatic about his health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

Aldous Huxley struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle. He is also prone to suppressing his feelings - especially aggressive or angry ones. This could lead to chronic resentment and bitterness, which actually undermines Huxley's goal far more than openly expressing his anger would.

On the positive side, Aldous Huxley is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain his goals and desires. Aldous Huxley seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. However, if he can avoid a negative attitude and keep "plugging along", Huxley will achieve something substantial. Moreover, he is much more effective when working for someone else.

He is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. Aldous Huxley notices these qualities (or the lack thereof) more quickly than others and brings them up frequently. He is philosophical about life and very perceptive, but may have an exaggerated sense of his own wisdom and depth of understanding of religious, metaphysical, artistic, or intuitive subjects.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence, and stature in his community can be his. Aldous Huxley feels he has a destiny which involves leadership or distinguishing himself in some line of endeavor. Aldous possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for his talent. Aldous Huxley should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit his opportunities.
