Myrna Loy
drive and ambition

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

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

Myrna Loy meets numerous challenges and possibly defeats in pursuit of her goals and desires, and her setbacks often occur because Myrna has been too rash or intent on working her own will regardless of the impact on others. Myrna Loy is intense and passionate, and simply does not know when to stop sometimes! Recklessness with others can be a problem for Loy.

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

Her self-expression tends to be limited and Myrna Loy feels that she has to learn everything the hard way. She may find it difficult to establish relationships with people and feels isolated and alone. Myrna wants to break out of her seclusion, but feels that some barrier is holding her back.

In meeting her challenges and difficulties in life, Myrna Loy does have allies: her ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, her 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. Myrna's timing is usually good.

Deep, compelling drives which Myrna Loy does not entirely understand are apt to be the source of her rather extraordinary ambitions. She may find that a drive for dominance, power, and control arises out of the rather problematic and intense relationships Myrna had with one or both of her parents. If Myrna Loy is willing to delve deeply into her own fears and inner life, clearing away much of the conditioning of her earliest years, she will indeed discover tremendous inner resources which can be used to fuel her rise in the world.

A big dreamer, Myrna Loy loves comfort and is likely to promote human welfare. But Loy could be somewhat of a fortune-hunter, likes to speculate, and has a tendency to squander her money. Myrna Loy is always hopeful and does not take life too seriously.
