Mackenzie Astin
drive and ambition

He is non-combative, noncompetitive, and somewhat of a pacifist. Astin will give something up rather than fight for it. He may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for he does not have a powerful ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else. Being first, being best or being on top does not mean much to Mackenzie Astin, and he can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that he believes in. Mackenzie Astin is gentle and impressionable and is motivated by less mundane and less tangible things than most other people. He may have difficulty formulating clear, definite personal goals and making his way in the world. Mackenzie has many dreams, high ideals and a strong mystical or religious impulse. Mackenzie Astin also has a creative imagination and can successfully apply himself to art or music. Mackenzie Astin has a sensitive physique and he needs to maintain good regular health habits in order to build strength and stamina.

Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to Mackenzie and he must have something that stirs his imagination - a vision or ideal or dream to motivate him. Mackenzie Astin has a strong urge to act out his fantasies or to live his dream, and Mackenzie Astin will act where others merely talk or dream. Artistic creation, drama or other areas in which Astin can express himself imaginatively are excellent for him.

Work that only serves his own narrow personal interests does not satisfy Mackenzie Astin. He may lack the competitive edge, the fighting spirit, the "me first" attitude that is often required for material advancement and success. He also tends to either overestimate or underestimate his own power and abilities.

He is intensely willful and can create trouble for himself by rather unconsciously forging ahead, without realizing that he is trampling over people. Sometimes, if Mackenzie Astin cannot get what he wants directly, he will try to dominate, manipulate or seek power in a covert, subtle sort of way.

Mackenzie Astin tends to fantasize a lot about erotic and amorous relationships.

Language, words, communication, networking, clarity of speech or writing, being a messenger or go-between - these are key features in his career, as well as how Mackenzie Astin goes about achieving his goals and ambitions. "Work smarter, not harder" is Astin's motto.

Mackenzie has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. In other words, he is liable to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless he achieves extraordinary things. Mackenzie Astin should avoid get-rich-quick schemes that promise tremendous returns in return for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Astin's ideals and values could be compromised.

His professional goals and long-range ambitions may be vague and difficult for Mackenzie Astin to define for quite a long time. This is partly due to the fact that they are not very conventional, concrete, or worldly. Mackenzie is apt to have more of a spiritual vocation or calling. Healing, counseling, the ministry, music, art - or some combination thereof - may well be part of his role in life. On the other hand, Mackenzie Astin may simply be confused and lack professional ambition.
