Henry Fonda
drive and ambition

Henry Fonda is extremely strong-willed and he pursues his goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. He is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and he is very difficult to influence or sway once his mind is made up. When Henry Fonda wants something, Fonda can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. He is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why he feels as strongly and deeply as he does.

He also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal his aims and intentions, and the intensity of his will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, Fonda is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Henry Fonda often manipulates or forces his will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. He is not interested in confrontation but he is a formidable foe if he encounters opposition or aggression. Henry is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Henry Fonda enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. He is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Fonda can be very convincing about his point of view, but he is prone to a "hard-sell" approach which sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is a good avenue for Henry's aggressive intellect.

Henry Fonda has an adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit and the instincts to achieve major success. Competition and rivalry spur Henry Fonda on to do his best and push past his limits. He enjoys taking initiative and has positive expectations that generate positive results. At times, however, Henry Fonda is overconfident, cocky and vainglorious. Sports and business are both suitable arenas for Fonda.

He is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. Henry Fonda notices these qualities (or the lack thereof) more quickly than others and brings them up frequently. He is philosophical about life and very perceptive, but may have an exaggerated sense of his own wisdom and depth of understanding of religious, metaphysical, artistic, or intuitive subjects.

In meeting his challenges and difficulties in life, Henry Fonda does have allies: his ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, his ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort. Remaining steady in the midst of crisis or sudden change is an aspect of this, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes. Henry's timing is usually good.

Henry has an extraordinary drive for power and influence in the world, which can be used for good or ill, for his own personal aggrandizement or for achieving some wider aim.

Henry Fonda could be a channel for healing, transforming, revivifying energies in society or in individuals. His work will involve stimulating deep, fundamental changes and bringing to light hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret information and knowledge.

Fonda can be rather antagonistic toward those in authority. Even without realizing it, he may convey this attitude and he may well be threatening to those in power. Thus, however well-meaning Henry Fonda is, he may find his initiatives or projects meet with little favor. Working independently might be Henry's best option.

He is sensitive to everything around him and soaks up experiences like a sponge. Henry Fonda must avoid becoming depressed when things do not go his way. Fonda also needs to overcome being somewhat timid and to build up his own self-image.
