Eugène Atget
drive and ambition

He is non-combative, noncompetitive, and somewhat of a pacifist. Atget will give something up rather than fight for it. He may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for he does not have a powerful ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else. Being first, being best or being on top does not mean much to Eugène Atget, and he can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that he believes in. Eugène Atget is gentle and impressionable and is motivated by less mundane and less tangible things than most other people. He may have difficulty formulating clear, definite personal goals and making his way in the world. Jean Eugène has many dreams, high ideals and a strong mystical or religious impulse. Eugène Atget also has a creative imagination and can successfully apply himself to art or music. Eugène Atget has a sensitive physique and he needs to maintain good regular health habits in order to build strength and stamina.

Atget is attracted to feisty, dynamic, strong-willed people, and he seems to need a lot of fireworks in his personal relationships. Eugène Atget can be very combative, or get involved with people who are. Ideally Jean Eugène will join with people who are energetic and ambitious, but not too domineering or aggressive.

He enjoys risky, exciting activities and cannot tolerate too much routine, tedium, or inactivity. Unless other factors in his chart suggest staying power and the ability to follow through, Eugène Atget may be the person who initiates a new venture but cannot happily participate in the ongoing, sustained effort it requires. "Independent" is Atget's middle name! Eugène Atget needs to be a totally free agent, to run his own show. Jean Eugène likes to introduce new concepts to people, and then move on.

While Eugène Atget is often charged with energy and inspired about what he wants to do (as mentioned earlier), there is a dreamy, visionary, or passive side to him as well. His energy level may fluctuate from being superabundant to rather lax.

Eugène Atget has a very active and fertile imagination and Atget's ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical and concrete. Eugène Atget has a strong desire to act out his fantasies, dreams, visions and ideals. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which Atget can express himself imaginatively are ideally suited to him. Ordinary life seems drab and uninteresting to Atget, and he needs to have some lofty dream or something grander than his own narrow personal interests to live for. Sometimes Atget may be confused about exactly how and where to direct his energy and he often drifts along rather than making clear decisions about what he wants. Eugène Atget has a passive side and at times lacks the will power, physical energy, strength and fighting spirit to achieve his aims.

His aspirations in life are apt to be quite unusual, extraordinary, or ahead of their time. Eugène Atget is a nonconformist, insistent on doing things his own way, and he will follow a zigzag course to the fulfillment of his ambitions.

Rebelling against authority seems to be one aspect of his life's plan. Eugène Atget simply cannot force himself into a pre-cast mold of any kind.

Eugène Atget really wants to leave his mark on the world in some way, to achieve stature and recognition for his contributions, and he is not willing to take a back seat - at least not for very long. In order to achieve his aims, though, Eugène Atget will have to compromise and "give" more than he may be willing to. Thus, conflicts with others, particularly important men in his life, may arise. To accomplish his goals, Jean Eugène may have to put aside some of his self-centeredness, and learn from these men! However, Eugène Atget may also be required at some point to make a break in order to stand on his own and fulfill his own destiny.

His profession could involve physical strength and prowess, such as athletics, fire fighting, law enforcement, or the military. Eugène Atget would never be happy in a quiet, sit-down job. Vigorous competition and strenuous work are undoubtedly key components of both what Eugène Atget does and how he achieves his long-range goals.

He is very reserved and may try to avoid contact with others as much as possible. Eugène Atget tends to suppress or hide his feelings and could see himself as unappreciated or worthless. He is likely to go his own way and appreciate solitude.
