Harpo Marx
in Relationships

Harpo Marx responds very strongly to the emotional tone and atmosphere around him, and can be dominated by his fluctuating and unpredictable moods. Marx often appears irrational to others because he cannot always explain the reason or source of his feelings. Anyone who lives with Harpo Marx must accept his ups and downs and appreciate Harpo's need for times of withdrawal.

Harpo Marx is also very sympathetic and understands the unspoken feelings and needs of others. Harpo Marx takes slights and rebuffs very personally and though he may forgive a transgression by a friend or loved one, he never forgets it.

Marx works well with the public and has an instinct for what the public wants and will respond to. Having a "nest" is not especially important to Harpo, and he may invest more of his emotional energy into his career or public life than in his private life. Providing and caring for others, in a professional capacity is very likely.

Harpo Marx takes offense rather quickly and his instincts are to fight, defend or act first, and ask questions later. He has a tendency for impatience, irritability and outbursts of temper, especially in response to minor frustrations. When he is not actively involved, he is not comfortable. Harpo Marx actually prefers a rather rambunctious, feisty, competitive atmosphere to a peaceful one.

Harpo Marx craves excitement, change and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous and enthusiastic about anything new, he may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. It is not easy for Harpo Marx to make or keep commitments, since he does not know how he will be feeling from one day to the next. Emotional freedom is very important to Marx. His domestic life may be very unstable - but Marx likes it that way.

He is definitely not one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Harpo Marx cares very much about others' opinions and craves love and appreciation as much as anyone - however one would never know it from Marx's reserved and seemingly detached demeanor. Casual, superficial relationships do not interest Harpo at all. He is cautious and serious about love and really desires deep, genuine, lasting relationships. Harpo Marx is old-fashioned about courtship and love relationships, and will remain faithful to his loved one in good times and in bad.

Harpo Marx may be attracted to older persons who are emotionally mature and reliable and can provide the security Harpo desires.

Beautiful, elegant, and harmonious surroundings are very important to Harpo Marx, and he has an innate sense of style, design, and form. Socially, also, good form and politeness are important to Marx and he instinctively avoids crudeness and dissonance.

He enjoys talking about love, relationships, art and the beautiful side of life. Harpo Marx appreciates artistic people.

He is prone to get involved in highly intense, even obsessive relationships - "fatal attractions", so to speak. At its darkest, this urge for intensity in the personal arena may compel Harpo Marx to choose friends or mates who are rather dangerous or dishonorable characters with a penchant for manipulating and inflicting pain on their "loved ones". On the other hand, Marx may be tempted to use his own sexuality or charm to play the same sort of game, to use love or friendship as a bargaining chip or to gain power over others. Even if his intentions are basically good, Harpo Marx will find that his closest relationships are rather tumultuous affairs in which some rather unlovely aspects of his (such as jealousy and the desire to dominate or to be a victim) keep showing their faces. These are qualities that need to be understood and ultimately outgrown.
