Joan Bennett
motivation

In addition to Joan's strong personal loyalties and the devotion she feels for her nearest and dearest relations (as described on the previous page), Joan Bennett has great compassion and sensitivity toward people in all walks of life. Joan Bennett has a gift for understanding and appreciating a wide variety of art and life styles.

Moreover, Bennett should be careful not to be taken advantage of by others. Her good heart and innocent, unsuspecting attitude can make Joan Bennett a victim of others' greed. If this happens, Joan needs to avoid becoming bitter and resentful about life, and instead, to allow her great compassion and sensitivity to blossom and shine, rather than be dimmed by a few mistakes.

At heart she is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of her imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to Joan Bennett as anything in the outer world, though she may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting her inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, she has a rich inner life, though Bennett may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. Joan Bennett usually keeps to herself.

Joan shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. She is tolerant, forgiving and nonjudgmental, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Joan has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and she often feels the pain of others as if it were her own. Joan Bennett sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. She is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Bennett tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of her kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon her. Joan has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not her strong points.

She is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and she tries to avoid open conflict. Bennett will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and Bennett tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. She is fluid, open, nonresistant and somewhat passive. Joan Bennett does things in a subtle, often covert, manner.

Her gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for she possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Joan Bennett has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

Her faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change her life for the better. She also tends to become so detached from her immediate environment that she lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around Bennett more than it bothers her.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Bennett. Joan Bennett has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Joan Bennett may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Bennett tends to be in a constant state of tension and seems to look for avenues to test her strength. Joan Bennett uses all the energy at her disposal in order to succeed. Somewhat rebellious and inflexible, Joan fights any opposition or resistance she meets.
