Barbra Streisand
drive and ambition

She is a "busy bee" - energetic, restless, and forever on the go. Her active mind is always buzzing with ideas and Barbra finds it difficult sometimes to relax, slow down, or take time to reflect and replenish herself. Barbra Streisand tends to live on nervous energy. She can accomplish much in short bursts but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina, and steady, persistent effort are not easy for Streisand. Barbra Streisand often scatters her energies into so many directions and activities at once that she cannot finish or follow through on some of them. She needs variety, change, and mental challenges.

Barbra Streisand has a sharp and eager mind, and she enjoys games and competitions that have a mental component. Barbra likes to match wits with someone else.

Streisand often achieves her desires by her verbal skill, her ability to speak clearly, vigorously, and convincingly for what she wants. Her drive and energy is more mental than physical. Barbra Streisand uses her wit, intelligence, communication skills, social sophistication, and awareness to achieve her goals.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Barbra Streisand enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. She is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Streisand can be very convincing about her point of view, but she is prone to a "hard-sell" approach which sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is a good avenue for Barbra's aggressive intellect.

Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to Barbra and she must have something that stirs her imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate her. Barbra Streisand has a strong urge to act out her fantasies or to live her dream, and she will act upon things that others only talk or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which Streisand can express herself imaginatively are excellent for her.

Work that serves only her own narrow personal interests does not satisfy Barbra Streisand. She may lack the competitive edge, the fighting spirit, the "me-first" attitude that is often required for material advancement and success. She also tends to either overestimate or underestimate her own power and abilities.

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

Happiness and fulfillment in Barbra's career are likely, because she gives her all to it and will not make the sorts of compromises that others feel compelled to make in order to succeed. Self-expression and being her own person are very important to Streisand.

Enormous aid is apt to come to Barbra Streisand through her father or another important man in her life. Her relationships with superiors and those in a position to boost her career are usually excellent.

Fluidity of speech and thought, and using intellectual gifts or communicative skills to achieve her ambitions in life are featured. Convincing, selling, persuading, reasoning, bringing ideas into public awareness are also part of Streisand's professional life.

Streisand may well have an unusual destiny or pivotal role to play in a drama that involves much more than her own personal ambitions and professional aims. This could involve uncovering secrets, bringing deception, cruelty, or injustice to light, or making fundamental changes in some field. Barbra's work may also include dealing with life and death situations, crises, and emergencies. Somewhere along the way, fate may force Streisand's hand - and it may require some self-sacrifice on her part. On the other hand, her real work may be rather subtle - a quiet transformation of a particular area or field. Barbra Streisand is meant to do in-depth work.

Her self-control is well developed and Barbra Streisand is patient, cautious and responsible. Streisand knows that success comes with hard work and is willing to do her share. Barbra likes to be by herself and to do her own thing, but at times she may also feel lonely and deserted.

Barbra Streisand has a lot of energy and is determined and ambitious in the pursuit of her goals. But she has a tendency to change her aims or objectives frequently, is quite restless, and always ready and excited to start something new.

Her resistance and stamina are inclined to be a bit low and Barbra Streisand tends to be easily influenced by others. She may leave herself open to being corrupted by others and should guard against involvement in situations that she may later regret.
