Diane von Fürstenberg tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Diane.

Her attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Diane von Fürstenberg may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to her. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Diane may tenaciously cling to her grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

Her overall outlook on life is serious, and Diane von Fürstenberg may feel that life or God will punish her if she does not watch her steps!

Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Diane's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting von Fürstenberg's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Diane von Fürstenberg to really test her belief system and discover more about life.
