Betty White
drive and ambition

Betty White is extremely strong-willed and she pursues her goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. She is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and she is very difficult to influence or sway once her mind is made up. When Betty White wants something, White can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. She is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why she feels as strongly and deeply as she does.

She also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal her aims and intentions, and the intensity of her will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, White is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Betty White often manipulates or forces her will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. She is not interested in confrontation but she is a formidable foe if she encounters opposition or aggression. Betty is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.

It is not easy for Betty White to show the world at large her angry or competitive side, but her family sees this side of her more often. Temper tantrums, tumultuous family relationships, or a great deal of competition between White and one or more of her relations, are likely. Betty White likes to be the one in charge in her home and she puts a lot of energy into making things go her way.

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

Work that only serves her own narrow personal interests does not satisfy Betty White. 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.

Betty White has a strong sense of mission and instinctively knows that in order to achieve anything great, one must eliminate superfluous activities and give oneself wholly to the task at hand. Her zeal, enthusiasm and clarity of purpose enable Betty White to succeed and to achieve whatever she sets her mind to. Betty White has a strong will, but is usually quiet and understated by nature.

Her imagination is great and White tends to think with a purpose in mind. She is able to function despite a degree of uncertainty that colors her actions, and she is likely to have an alternate plan when matters do not progress the way Betty wants them to.

Conflicts in her early childhood are apt to be played out in Betty's later professional life. Unresolved rivalry with a parent or sibling may result in antagonism toward superiors or competitors. If Betty White can work through some of these past events, she will have even more energy and drive to achieve positive goals.

In order to achieve her long-range goals and ambitions, the process must be interesting and mentally stimulating, as White gets bored with work that is not intellectually challenging. Betty White needs variety and social stimulation as well. One problem she may have is saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or to the wrong person. Betty needs to watch her words. At time, her tongue or even sense of humor can get Betty White in trouble with superiors.

Indecision and confusion over her ambitions or direction in life may hold Betty back from achieving anything solid, especially in her early life. She is very much a dreamer and her interests and inclinations may not translate very readily into concrete goals. Personal glory or accomplishment can never be White's sole motivation or drive in life. Ministering to others in some way may be her calling, however. Alternatively, Betty White could use her dreamy, imaginative energies in creative ways - in the arts, music or entertainment.

She is attracted to careers, which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and offer Betty White a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not her cup of tea. Betty may make her living in diversified ways rather than by focusing on one specific area or talent, and she is happiest when she can create a place in the world for her unique combination of diverse talents and interests. Betty White finds it hard and unnatural to try to fit herself into a ready-made mold.

Betty has an aptitude for detective or research work, or any field that involves digging beneath the surface for the hidden elements. An interest in psychology, hypnosis and subconscious forces or subliminal messages may well be a key factor in her career.

Whatever her choice of profession, Betty White is apt to feel a sense of inner mission about it and may pursue it with great zeal and intensity.
