Nora Roberts
drive and ambition

Roberts is aspiring, enterprising and forever following a bright and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating new potential. She is definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material or spiritual sense. Nora Roberts aims high and is not content with a mere quiet, secure existence. Nora likes to stretch her limits, see how far she can go and take risks. She is a positive thinker, expects success for herself, and is philosophical about failures. Roberts is flexible and she bounces back from disappointments rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea she wants to try. Her enthusiasm and confidence are contagious and enable Nora Roberts to enlist the aid and support she needs for her projects. However, Nora Roberts sometimes promises more than she can actually achieve, because she is overly optimistic or pays insufficient attention to the practicalities involved.

She also tends to get distracted and to have too many things going on at once. Although it is very difficult for her, there are times when Nora Roberts simply must cultivate commitment, perseverance and persistence in order to make her dreams and goals reality. Too often Nora Roberts falls short of what she could attain because she is unwilling to persist through the difficult or less exciting times.

Nora Roberts also enjoys competition and usually does not take it too seriously. Sports and entrepreneurial endeavors are good ways to channel Nora's energy.

Asserting herself and being direct and forceful about what she wants is often very difficult for Nora. Though she may have a great deal of energy and drive, Nora Roberts lacks confidence or simply the desire to put herself and her interests first. On the positive side, Roberts can be very unselfish, working more for the benefit of others than for herself.

However, Nora Roberts denies her own desires and needs too much, and she is likely to secretly become very angry, which will sabotage her finest efforts.

Fits of temper and impatience, and a sudden, erratic sort of recklessness can all work very much against Nora Roberts, especially when she needs to be working cooperatively as part of a team or in a partnership. When she is upset or fired up about something, Nora often does things that are risky and outrageous. When out of balance, Roberts tends to be accident prone.

An inner conflict between the desire for greater opportunities and the desire to hold on to safe and predictable circumstances could make Roberts somewhat discontent. Nora Roberts longs for changes in her life, but may lack the tenacity to bring them about.

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

She is highly attuned to the intangible or unseen world. Thus, Nora's drive and ambitions in life are likely to be colored by her subtle awareness and her mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe", creative fantasy and the ability to visualize may also be aspects of her career. Nora Roberts has the ability to "channel" healing or inspirational messages.

Nora has an aptitude for detective or research work, or any field that involves digging beneath the surface for the hidden elements. An interest in psychology, hypnosis and subconscious forces or subliminal messages may well be a key factor in her career.

Whatever her choice of profession, Nora Roberts is apt to feel a sense of inner mission about it and may pursue it with great zeal and intensity.

She is sensitive to everything around her and soaks up experiences like a sponge. Nora Roberts must avoid becoming depressed when things do not go her way. Roberts also needs to overcome being somewhat timid and to build up her own self-image.
