He is a "busy bee" - energetic, restless, and forever on the go. His active mind is always buzzing with ideas and Harry sometimes finds it difficult to relax, slow down or take the time to reflect and regroup. Harry Belafonte tends to live on nervous energy. He can accomplish a great deal in short bursts, but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina and steady, persistent effort are not easy for Belafonte. Harry Belafonte often scatters his energies into so many directions and activities at once that he cannot finish or follow through on all of them.

Asserting himself and being direct and forceful about what he wants is often very difficult for Harry. Though he may have a great deal of energy and drive, Harry Belafonte lacks confidence or simply the desire to put himself and his interests first. On the positive side, Belafonte can be very unselfish, working more for the benefit of others than for himself.

However, Harry Belafonte denies his own desires and needs too much, and he is likely to secretly become very angry, which will sabotage his finest efforts.

Harry Belafonte struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle. He is also prone to suppressing his feelings - especially aggressive or angry ones.

On the positive side, Harry Belafonte is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain his goals and desires.

Moreover, he is much more effective when working for someone else.

His efforts to do something are likely to be half-hearted. Harry Belafonte tends to get discouraged easily and may lack an incentive to work. His sexual drive also may be somewhat low and Belafonte tends to be averse to physical exertion in general.

He is inclined to rely on other people and expects too much from them, leaving Harry Belafonte with a feeling of being short changed frequently. Always looking for an easy way out, Belafonte tends to sit back hoping for his ship to come in.

Harry Belafonte is likely to receive much publicity and popularity through his professional pursuits, for he has a way of winning the hearts and trust of many people.

His career could also involve protecting and caring for people, and nurturing them in some capacity.

Belafonte may well have an unusual destiny or pivotal role to play in a drama that involves much more than his own personal ambitions and professional aims. This could involve uncovering secrets, bringing deception, cruelty, or injustice to light, or making fundamental changes in a given field. Harry's work may also involve life and death issues, crises and emergencies. Somewhere along the way, fate may force Belafonte's hand - and it may require some self-sacrifice on his part. On the other hand, his real work may be rather subtle - a quiet transformation of a particular area or field. Harry Belafonte is destined for in-depth work.
