A certain uneven, erratic quality characterizes Édith's career and rise in the professional arena. Sudden changes of fortune, unexpected upsets, and twists of fate are likely.

Édith Piaf feels that she knows who she is and therefore is confident that she can achieve her objectives. She may consider marriage as her sole aim in life and could become completely bound up in her marriage and family life.
