Oprah Winfrey
in Relationships

Open and generous, Oprah Winfrey enjoys a wide circle of friends and acquaintances and she thrives on sociability and fellowship. She is adventurous, playful, freedom loving, and always ready for a good time. Winfrey rarely allows obstacles or difficulties to keep her down, for no matter how bleak the past or present, Oprah always expects a better, brighter future. In fact, she is uncomfortable with her own or other people's problems and emotional pain. Oprah Winfrey often tries to "cheer up" or offer philosophical advice to those who are hurting, but she unwittingly avoids or ignores the emotions involved.

Friendship means a great deal to Winfrey, perhaps even more than love relationships or romance. For Oprah Winfrey to be happy, her mate must be her best friend and encourage Oprah's aspirations and ideals. Oprah Winfrey also needs a great deal of emotional freedom and mobility.

Winfrey gets a lot of emotional fulfillment through her involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care for her. Oprah Winfrey makes friends her family, and she feels a close kinship with people who share some ideals or beliefs that she holds dear.

She is easily influenced by her environment and tends to get depressed when things do not go the way she expected. Relationships are not easy for Oprah Winfrey; she could be a recluse, avoiding most contact with others.

She is open and unconventional in her attitude towards love relationships, romance and sex. She enjoys socializing, bringing people together and having many friends of both sexes. Oprah Winfrey values friendship very highly and in fact, she is more comfortable being a friend than a lover. Oprah desires an intellectual rapport or spiritual bond with her love partner, but deep intimacy and emotional bonding do not come easily to her. The traditional "husband" and "wife" roles do not appeal to Winfrey, and she abhors jealousy and possessiveness since she feels that no person truly "belongs" to another. Oprah Winfrey appreciates relationships in which her love partner allows her plenty of freedom and is not very emotionally demanding.

For Oprah Winfrey, caring and affection must be expressed tangibly, and she loves giving and receiving gifts. Oprah values luxury, comfort, and elegance very highly and appreciates beautiful things. She can be self-indulgent and extravagant. Being overly possessive of people she loves and of her belongings is something Oprah Winfrey needs to beware of.

She is serious and finds it difficult to enjoy herself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. Oprah Winfrey rarely does something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in her early life, Oprah is very cautious about becoming involved in close relationships and sharing her feelings. Though Winfrey craves love and affection, intimacy is difficult for her. She may become romantically involved with people who do not value her or treat her well. Oprah Winfrey needs to learn to love and value herself before she finds happiness in love.
