Diane von Fürstenberg
motivation
Although she is intensely emotional and fervent in her loves and hates (as described on the previous page), Diane von Fürstenberg is also pragmatic and able to swing to the opposite extreme and be completely dispassionate and unsentimental, especially when it suits her overall aims.
Serious, disciplined and quietly ambitious, she is driven to prove herself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. Her work, her position in the world, and her contributions to society are very important to von Fürstenberg. Diane von Fürstenberg will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal she has set for herself, and she often sacrifices much in the area of personal relationships and home life in order to do so.
Diane von Fürstenberg has a thoughtful, quiet and self-contained disposition and does not readily show her inner feelings and needs. Diane von Fürstenberg seems to always be in control, capable, efficient and strong. She is often the person in the family or group who is given more responsibility (and more work) than the others. She is highly conscientious and even as a child she possessed great maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.
She is basically a pragmatic realist, and though she may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, she feels that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. Diane has an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in her as well.
She is clear-headed, detached and objective, and is not swayed by emotional dramatics. She is often authoritarian - strictly fair, but without mercy. Diane von Fürstenberg has a great respect for tradition and even if she does not agree with certain laws, she will abide by them or strive to change them, but never flagrantly disregard them. Cautious and conservative, Diane von Fürstenberg plays by the rules.
She is subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to get to know intimately, and never superficial. She is a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Giving herself (and others) permission to feel, play, be spontaneous and silly, and sometimes weak and vulnerable is not easy for von Fürstenberg.
von Fürstenberg's strong points are her depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity and faithfulness. Her faults are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.
The urge to learn and to communicate is essential to Diane von Fürstenberg, and she expresses herself very well through writing, teaching or sharing ideas and information. von Fürstenberg is persuasive and fluent with language.
Restless and inquisitive, Diane enjoys being mobile and taking short trips and excursions in order to see for herself what is going on in the world around her.
She is assertive, energetic, active, courageous and vital. Diane von Fürstenberg has a very strong physical drive that expresses itself as sexuality and passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to fight. Diane von Fürstenberg has a victorious spirit and the will to win.
While Diane von Fürstenberg does have a strong drive, she frequently holds herself back. One of her challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in her life (or her own internal caution and resistance!).
Diane has to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill her personal destiny. However, she does have the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from her father or other significant men in her life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of Diane and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of her greatest handicaps, and at times she may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of her own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in her life. Diane von Fürstenberg needs to learn to follow her own creative impulses and heart's desires, regardless of what her critics or the authorities say.
Along with her energy and drive, Diane von Fürstenberg has high ideals and an active fantasy life. There is a dreamer and an idealist in von Fürstenberg, as well as a doer and a fighter. Diane wants to win but not at the expense of others, and this may be somewhat of a dilemma for her.
While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Diane von Fürstenberg also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.
Diane is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and she can get lost in her dreams, fantasies and visions. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Diane von Fürstenberg is also drawn to mysticism and she has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, von Fürstenberg may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make her way in the world. She is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.
She is inclined to feel uncomfortable or restrained in some way in the presence of others and prefer to be alone. Diane von Fürstenberg is modest and shy in her approach to others and tends to accept more responsibility than she really needs to.
