Mary Martin
drive and ambition

Mary Martin avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. Her ego drive is not very dominant and Martin is not especially ambitious or eager to push her way to the top. She may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which Mary Martin will really fight is when she senses that her loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case she is a fierce defender. Mary Martin has a very strong protective side. She acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone she perceives as threatening to Mary's home or family. However, Mary Martin will rarely initiate a confrontation. Her goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

She is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Mary Martin is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. Her energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in her home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Martin to achieve her goals and desires.

Mary Martin expects to work hard for anything she accomplishes and she has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for Mary at times, and she pushes herself too hard. Martin can also be too demanding of the people she works with.

If her energy is not invested in a job or career, Mary Martin can become fanatical about her health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

Mary Martin has a very active and fertile imagination and Martin's ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical and concrete. Mary Martin has a strong desire to act out her fantasies, dreams, visions and ideals. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which Martin can express herself imaginatively are ideally suited to her. Ordinary life seems drab and uninteresting to Martin, and she needs to have some lofty dream or something grander than her own narrow personal interests to live for. Sometimes Martin may be confused about exactly how and where to direct her energy and she often drifts along rather than making clear decisions about what she wants. Mary Martin has a passive side and at times lacks the will power, physical energy, strength and fighting spirit to achieve her aims.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence and stature in her community can be hers. Mary Martin feels that her destiny involves leadership or distinguishing herself in some way. Mary possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for her talent. Mary Martin should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit her opportunities.

She is attracted to careers, which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and offer Mary Martin a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not her cup of tea. Mary may make her living in diversified ways rather than by focusing on one specific area or talent, and she is happiest when she can create a place in the world for her unique combination of diverse talents and interests. Mary Martin finds it hard and unnatural to try to fit herself into a ready-made mold.
