Benedetto Croce
drive and ambition

He is very socially oriented and works well with others. He may be active in community affairs or unite with others of similar ideals and intentions to work toward a common goal. Progressive and democratic, Benedetto Croce is not concerned with hoarding personal power or having authority over others. He is a team player.

New, unconventional methods appeal to Croce, especially ideas that involve bringing people together or creating fairer working conditions - such as networking, profit sharing, and job sharing. New technologies also interest him.

His energy level is high but somewhat erratic. Benedetto Croce can be impatient, rebellious and inconstant in pursuing his aims.

Croce is attracted to feisty, dynamic, strong-willed people, and he seems to need a lot of fireworks in his personal relationships. Benedetto Croce can be very combative, or get involved with people who are. Ideally Benedetto will join with people who are energetic and ambitious, but not too domineering or aggressive.

Benedetto Croce works hard and patiently to achieve his objectives and perseveres in spite of difficulties and discouragement. When concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, Benedetto is able to accomplish a great deal, but he often feels that the path is long and arduous, and that he must struggle on alone and shoulder the burden single-handedly.

He is capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard taskmaster, expecting far too much of himself. He also tends to hold himself back and doubt his own power and ability. Benedetto Croce feels that he meets with great resistance whenever he tries to assert himself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big problems for Benedetto Croce, especially when he tries to work with other people or depend too much on others for support. Benedetto works best in solitude.

Unlike some who have hopes and fantasies, Croce is a person who tries to live out these dreams, no matter how impractical or fantastic they seem. Benedetto Croce has a quixotic, idealistic streak. He may be more inspired to work for some higher cause than simply for his own personal achievement.

Benedetto Croce has a powerful will and when he wants something, he pursues it passionately and relentlessly until he achieves it. He may be so driven by his desire that he loses all objectivity. Benedetto Croce often becomes compulsive, even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard he must work for it. His forcefulness may be veiled or subtle, for often Croce does not reveal his real aims and intentions to others until they cross him. Intense power struggles and relationships with a strong dominance/submissiveness theme are likely to erupt. Benedetto Croce has enormous energy reserves, and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if he uses his energies for constructive purposes.

His attunement to the intangible or unseen world is very strong. Thus, Benedetto's drive and ambitions in life are apt to be colored by his subtle awareness, his mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe", creative fantasy, and the ability to visualize may be aspects of his career, also. Benedetto Croce has the ability to "channel" healing or inspirational messages.

His profession could involve physical strength and prowess, such as athletics, fire fighting, law enforcement, or the military. Benedetto Croce would never be happy in a quiet, sit-down job. Vigorous competition and strenuous work are undoubtedly key components of both what Benedetto Croce does and how he achieves his long-range goals.
