Betty Friedan
drive and ambition

She is non-combative, noncompetitive, and something of a pacifist. Friedan will give something up rather than fight for it. She may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for she does not have a strong ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else. Being first, being best, being on top does not mean much to Betty Friedan, and she can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that she believes in. Betty Friedan is gentle and impressionable and is motivated by less mundane and less tangible things than most other people. She may have difficulty formulating clear, definite personal goals and making her way in the world. Betty has many dreams, high ideals, and a strong mystical or religious impulse. Betty Friedan also has a creative imagination and can successfully apply herself to art or music. Betty Friedan has a sensitive physique and she needs to maintain good regular health habits in order build strength and stamina.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Betty Friedan enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. She is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Friedan 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 Betty's aggressive intellect.

Betty Friedan struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is an uphill battle all the time. She is also prone to squelch herself, especially any aggressive or angry feelings. This can lead to chronic resentment and bitterness which actually undermines her goal far more than openly expressing her anger would.

Positively, Betty Friedan is capable of immense patience, endurance, and quiet steady efforts to attain her goals and desires. Betty Friedan seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. But if she can avoid a negative attitude about this, and "keep on keeping on", Friedan will achieve something substantial. She is much more effective working for someone else also.

Happiness and fulfillment in Betty'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 Friedan.

Enormous aid is apt to come to Betty Friedan 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.

Betty has two different career paths which appeal to her, and which may at some point be blended. The first has to do with the arts, entertainment, film, or music industry. The other is an involvement in the ministry, social betterment, charity or volunteer work. Betty Friedan has a high degree of sensitivity and this compassion is apt to be a key factor in her professional decisions and overall goals in life.
