Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Katharine Hepburn enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. She is quite forthright and sometimes tactless.

Dynamic, self-willed, and fiercely independent, she has extraordinary drive and energy. When Katharine Hepburn wants something, she wants it this very minute, and she acts quickly, impulsively and decisively.

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

In many ways Katharine's rise in the world is an easy one, aided by her personal charm and attractiveness, her ability to please people, and her excellent social instincts. Artistic ambitions are also an aspect of this.

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