Emma Thompson
drive and ambition

Emma Thompson avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. Her ego drive is not very dominant and Thompson is not especially ambitious or eager to push her way to the top. She may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which Emma Thompson will really fight is when she senses that her loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case she is a fierce defender. Emma Thompson has a very strong protective side. She acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone she perceives as threatening to Emma's home or family. However, Emma Thompson will rarely initiate a confrontation. Her goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

She is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Emma Thompson is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. Her energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in her home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Thompson to achieve her goals and desires.

She is a team player and works well in collaboration with others who share her goals, ideals, and intentions. Emma Thompson can coordinate group efforts and inspire people to work toward a shared goal.

Team sports are also a lot of fun for Emma, and she could be a leader, coach, or director of any group endeavor.

While Emma Thompson enjoys challenging herself to extend her abilities or try new activities, she is apt to bite off more than she can chew. Failures or accidents due to overestimating her prowess or capacities and being overly eager and poorly prepared, may result. Fortunately these disappointments or blunders do not dampen Emma's spirits or her ambitions permanently; she has a lot of resilience and optimism. Most likely Emma Thompson will need to develop her physical coordination and sense of timing in order to do some of the activities she dreams of doing.

Although enterprising and proactive, Emma Thompson is also capable of ample much self-discipline, patience and effort. She may swing from confidence and trust in the future to pessimism and doubt, when it comes to achieving her aims in life.

Emma Thompson struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle. She is also prone to suppressing her feelings - especially aggressive or angry ones. This could lead to chronic resentment and bitterness, which actually undermines Thompson's goal far more than openly expressing her anger would.

On the positive side, Emma Thompson is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain her goals and desires. Emma Thompson seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. However, if she can avoid a negative attitude and keep "plugging along", Thompson will achieve something substantial. Moreover, she is much more effective when working for someone else.

Her competitive drive and lofty ambitions (commented upon earlier) feed on either intense spiritual idealism or a rather inflated, grandiose idea of what Emma Thompson can actually accomplish. Her energy level is apt to fluctuate from being very high, as noted earlier, to rather low, as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

When difficulties arise, Emma Thompson prefers to avoid conflict and confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems. Thompson finds it satisfying to work in order to help others or for a cause that transcends her own narrow, personal interests. Emma Thompson has an artistic flair and appreciates the colorful, unique or strange.

When Emma Thompson wants something, she can be amazingly persistent and unrelenting, even a bit obsessed, although quiet about it. In fact Emma may hide her deep purposes and intentions even from friends. Whenever she does a thing, it is done wholeheartedly and thoroughly - and if Emma Thompson does not want to do something that others wish her to do, somehow she will find a way out of it. Thompson is strong, though subtle.

Thompson is able to do her work and take responsibility for overcoming her own problems and challenges in life, while at the same time being open to spiritual comfort, aid and guidance. A good balance between being well-grounded and being receptive to spirit or the inner world is working in Emma's favor. Enjoying simplicity and cultivating peace enable Emma Thompson to evolve and to work through her challenges.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence, and stature in her community can be hers. Emma Thompson feels she has a destiny which involves leadership or distinguishing herself in some line of endeavor. Emma possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for her talent. Emma Thompson should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit her opportunities.

Emma Thompson is always trying to escape routine and has a strong desire for new experiences. Thompson may feel that the course of her life is oppressive and will use all the strength at her disposal to rebel against it.

Emma Thompson tends to be somewhat pessimistic and may frequently feel frustrated and depressed. Others may try to hold Emma back in the attainment of her objectives, and success may come to her slowly but steady.

Emma Thompson strives to be at one with others, but somehow is not able to synchronize her feelings or viewpoints with them. Feeling disappointed, Emma may prefer a life in seclusion and away from other people.
