André Previn
drive and ambition

André Previn avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. His ego drive is not very dominant and Previn is not especially ambitious or eager to push his way to the top. He may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which André Previn will really fight is when he senses that his loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case he is a fierce defender. André Previn has a very strong protective side. He acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone he perceives as threatening to André's home or family. However, André Previn will rarely initiate a confrontation. His goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

He is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. André Previn is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. His energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in his home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Previn to achieve his goals and desires.

Asserting himself and being direct and forceful about what he wants is often very difficult for André. Though he may have a great deal of energy and drive, André Previn lacks confidence or simply the desire to put himself and his interests first. On the positive side, Previn can be very unselfish, working more for the benefit of others than for himself.

However, André Previn denies his own desires and needs too much, and he is likely to secretly become very angry, which will sabotage his finest efforts.

André Previn has a rather cocky, confident, we-can-do-it attitude that people in his environment pick up on quite readily. Inspiring, motivating, and encouraging others to go out and do their very best is one of André's innate gifts. André Previn has faith in the power of action and boldness, and enjoys initiating new programs and projects.

Intensely restless, dynamic and energetic, he is always on the go. When André Previn wants something, he wants it NOW, and he acts decisively and impulsively, albeit sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, André finds it difficult to slow down, pace himself or relax. He is fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. André Previn has a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not Previn's strong point! He is often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when he is pursuing a desired goal. He may demonstrate an explosive temper when his will is blocked. André Previn has a superabundance of energy and he needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in his own style and at his own pace.

When André Previn wants something, he goes after it with passionate zeal and is sometimes so driven by his desire that he loses all objectivity. André gets so deeply involved in whatever he is pursuing that he becomes one-sided, even fanatical. Strong-willed and stubborn, André Previn insists on having his way no matter the cost. He is fascinated with power. Previn often tries to overpower anything or anyone he perceives as an obstacle, if not physically, then by the force of his will. Previn can be ruthless and impersonal when it comes to achieving his ambitions and goals in life. André Previn has enormous energy and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement. Previn can also become a compulsive workaholic.

Others may find André Previn a bit strange and conditions in his immediate surroundings may not be as harmonious as Previn would like them to be. Not very assertive about protecting his interests, he could attract people who will take advantage of him.

He is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. André Previn 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. André Previn feels that his destiny involves leadership or distinguishing himself in some way. André possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for his talent. André Previn should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit his opportunities.

His aspirations in life are likely to be quite unusual, extraordinary or ahead of their time. André Previn is a nonconformist who insists on doing things his own way and follows a zigzag path toward his ambitions.

Rebelling against authority seems to be one aspect of his life's plan. André Previn simply cannot force himself into a pre-cast mold of any kind.

Previn is intensely competitive and may engage in furious battles of will, numerous conflicts, and possible public controversy on the road toward meeting his objectives. André Previn may be drawn to activities that are dangerous - in the line of fire, so to speak. He puts himself on the line. Anger or recklessness could be his downfall.

In some ways André Previn may feel that he has little choice about his role in society. He is compelled either by unusual external circumstances or by an inner drive, to bring potentially dark, difficult, or taboo issues into public awareness. André delves into the hidden side of life - things which may have been purposefully concealed or repressed - and sheds light on them. André Previn could come into direct conflict with the authorities or powers-that-be as a result. He is apt to have extraordinary ambitions, and could also become overly zealous and fanatical.

He is strongly attached to his home and family, and harmony in his surroundings and relationships is important to him. André Previn has a good sense of team work and a strong desire to feel complete oneness with people around him.
