Her desire for harmonious relationships and surroundings is so strong that she avoids personal confrontation or any expression of intense, unpleasant emotions.

She is able to see points of similarity and unity with people who are vastly different from her, and befriend many different types of people. She is a considerate and thoughtful friend, and has a real flair for making others feel accepted and appreciated. Inwardly, Erma Bombeck is often torn with indecision and is much more at odds with herself than others would ever guess based on her flawless disposition.

Erma Bombeck may have done extensive traveling in her early years, or in some way had a background which enables her to understand and identify with many different types of people or cultures.

There is a side to Erma Bombeck which loves comfort and the easy life, and unless other factors in her chart indicate strong drive and ambition, Bombeck can be lazy and overly permissive with herself.

If Erma's parents made the unfortunate mistake of indulging her too much as a child, this may be a very hard habit to break. Erma Bombeck can be so soft and affectionate that it is hard to say no to her. Eating too many sweets is a vice Erma is particularly prone to.

Erma Bombeck tends to surround herself with people who are gentle, sensitive, peace-loving, and artistically or spiritually inclined, and there is a strong element of mutual compassion and sympathy in her personal relationships. It is easy for Erma to tune in psychically to other people's feelings and emotional worlds.

Her thinking and acting are strongly influenced by her feelings. Erma has great mental energy, is somewhat restless, curious and impatient, and at times she may need to slow down. Erma Bombeck loves debate and argument and also has good writing ability.

Tremendously softhearted and sympathetic, Erma Bombeck gives very selflessly and devotedly to those she loves and often allows others to become overly dependent upon her.

She is excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. Erma Bombeck falls in love very quickly and has little self-restraint or concern for propriety when her feelings have been stirred. However, it may be difficult for Erma to sustain relationships after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if Bombeck's partner is basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal to Erma Bombeck, and personal freedom is or paramount importance to her.

It is absolutely essential for Erma Bombeck not to deceive herself when it comes to love relationships, romance, or the true nature of other people.

Somewhat over-enthusiastic in matters of love relationships, Erma Bombeck could fall in love with the wrong person. She may be too selfless and have the illusion that her only need in relationships is to make the other person happy, leading to disappointments and regrets.
