Andie MacDowell
motivation

Although Andie MacDowell is quite proud and likes to show off and impress other people with her accomplishments and appearance (as described on the previous page) - she is really quite practical, solid, and down to earth (as discussed below). Because of this, she is likely to actually earn the right to be admired - that is, to have actually done something to be proud of.

She is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of her greatest assets. Once MacDowell's course is set, she pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway her from her purpose.

Andie MacDowell has a very practical nature; she wants to see concrete, tangible results for her efforts, and she is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of her "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for she has a great love of the physical world and she wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Andie MacDowell will work long and persistently, she also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and she wants to enjoy what she has worked for. In fact, MacDowell can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Andie MacDowell also loves the beauty of the natural world and she probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, her needs are simple and she is easy to please. Andie MacDowell has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless she is forced to do so. She is not very demanding emotionally, though she does crave a great deal of physical closeness and affection. Because of her faithfulness, emotional steadfastness and gentle strength, others often depend upon MacDowell for support. Though she hates upheaval and sudden changes, Andie MacDowell usually maintains her poise and equanimity. Andie MacDowell also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. She makes an excellent parent, especially if she follows her instincts more often than "the experts".

Andie has three major faults: one is her bullheaded obstinacy. The second is her unwillingness to deviate from her safe, predictable routine. And the third is MacDowell's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Andie MacDowell lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open her mind to new horizons.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to MacDowell. Andie MacDowell has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Andie MacDowell may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Andie MacDowell aims high, dreams big, and has a tremendous sense of what she is capable of achieving. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be her faults. Generally, however, MacDowell's great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation involved, is ideally suited to Andie.

Andie MacDowell is extremely sensitive, compassionate and giving, often to her own detriment. Her ideals and spiritual values motivate Andie MacDowell, and she cannot live for personal gain or materialistic concerns alone. There must be an element of beauty, magic, imagination, inspiration or creativity in what she does. Otherwise Andie MacDowell becomes listless and aimless. The arts, theater, music and/or charitable work are ideally suited to Andie.

Andie MacDowell deeply believes in her own power and her ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Andie has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, she pursues her desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and she may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Andie likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

She is creative and talented, but must develop self-discipline to channel her energies productively. Andie MacDowell may feel that everything is going to be all right, that she cannot lose and may take risks by gambling or speculating, which could result in disappointments.

She may find it hard to establish relationships with other people and she tends to look for more timid partners. Andie MacDowell could also have difficulty expressing her ideas to others as well as coming to an understanding with them.
