Carly Simon
drive and ambition

Once Carly Simon sets her mind on a goal, her dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Simon pursues her ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Carly labors patiently and steadfastly until she achieves what she wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. She is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and she often shoulders more of the workload than her co-workers, usually without complaint. She often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. She prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to her success because once she gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Carly Simon to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. Carly Simon has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for her to overcome before Simon gets going; but once she gets a momentum going, her energy level is strong and steady.

She is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Carly Simon needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for her efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what she does. Carly's stamina and persistence are her greatest assets, but they can also work against her; she can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Carly Simon also tends to play it safe, and to limit herself as a result.

Carly Simon encounters numerous challenges and possibly defeats in the pursuit of her goals and desires, and her setbacks often occur because Carly has been too rash or intent on satisfying her own will regardless of the impact on others. Carly Simon is intense and passionate, and simply does not know when to stop sometimes! Recklessness with others can be a problem for Simon.

Conscientious, responsible, and serious about her work, Carly Simon accomplishes a great deal through her dedication. She is the person in the office or company who follows through, quietly sustains the effort, and keeps on going in spite of tedium, setbacks or dry spells. This is often the key to Carly's success. However, Carly Simon is humble about her accomplishments and contributions, and may thus fail to receive the recognition or recompense that she deserves.

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

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

Rebelling against authority seems to be one aspect of her life's plan. Carly Simon simply cannot force herself into a pre-cast mold of any kind.

Carly has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. In other words, she is liable to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless she achieves extraordinary things. Carly Simon should avoid get-rich-quick schemes that promise tremendous returns in return for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Simon's ideals and values could be compromised.
