Oriana Fallaci
drive and ambition

Fallaci is proud and ambitious and she strives to excel, stand out and be recognized for who and what she is. Oriana Fallaci has a very dominant ego and likes to be Number One. Oriana finds it difficult to take orders from others or to stay in the background, and she hates being wrong; Oriana Fallaci always insists that she is right!

She is forceful, strong, energetic, determined and highly competitive. Oriana Fallaci plays hard, plays to win and does not give up easily. In fact, she sees life as a competitive sport or performance. Oriana loves admiration and applause, and she has a strong sense of personal honor and integrity. Oriana Fallaci tends to be very self-confident, even arrogant. Because of her self-confidence, Oriana is able to accomplish a great deal, but if her confidence is ever undermined, Oriana Fallaci becomes self-conscious, defensive and rather belligerent.

Oriana Fallaci 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 Oriana at times, and she pushes herself too hard. Fallaci can also be too demanding of the people she works with.

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

Oriana Fallaci has the gift of endurance and perseverance, as well as the willingness to work hard to achieve her objectives. Once she decides she wants something or makes a commitment, Oriana Fallaci will do it "even if it takes forever". Self-discipline comes naturally to Oriana and she instinctively realizes that any creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration". Fallaci chooses practical, realistic goals and pursues them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly fashion. Oriana Fallaci likes to concentrate on one thing at a time and she does a thorough job. She enjoys working in solitude, and often feels she does her best work when she is alone.

Oriana Fallaci has a very active and fertile imagination and Fallaci's ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical and concrete. Oriana Fallaci has a strong desire to act out her fantasies, dreams, visions and ideals. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which Fallaci can express herself imaginatively are ideally suited to her. Ordinary life seems drab and uninteresting to Fallaci, and she needs to have some lofty dream or something grander than her own narrow personal interests to live for. Sometimes Fallaci 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. Oriana Fallaci has a passive side and at times lacks the will power, physical energy, strength and fighting spirit to achieve her aims.

She is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. Oriana Fallaci notices these qualities (or the lack thereof) more quickly than others and brings them up frequently. She is philosophical about life and very perceptive, but may have an exaggerated sense of her own wisdom and depth of understanding of religious, metaphysical, artistic, or intuitive subjects.

She is likely to play a role of great responsibility in her life and Oriana Fallaci takes her tasks very seriously, which places considerable burden on her as a result. She may have been unusually ambitious or mature at a tender age. Oriana Fallaci progresses and attains her aspirations through dedication and perseverance, rather than fortune.

Her ambition and/or role in life involve communication, conveying messages, writing or speaking, languages, or being an intermediary. Sometimes Oriana Fallaci may feel that she has to work harder than others to get the word out or receive public recognition. "Work smarter, not harder" should be her motto.

Sometimes her emotional or romantic interests detract Oriana Fallaci from her professional progress and the achievement of her long-range goals. Friendship with colleagues and especially superiors may be lacking, or prove to be a detrimental to Fallaci in a roundabout way. It seems that Oriana must choose either business or pleasure - work or love. These two arenas simply do not go together very well for her.

Fallaci may well have an unusual destiny or pivotal role to play in a drama that involves much more than her own personal ambitions and professional aims. This could involve uncovering secrets, bringing deception, cruelty, or injustice to light, or making fundamental changes in a given field. Oriana's work may also involve life and death issues, crises and emergencies. Somewhere along the way, fate may force Fallaci's hand - and it may require some self-sacrifice on her part. On the other hand, her real work may be rather subtle - a quiet transformation of a particular area or field. Oriana Fallaci is destined for in-depth work.

Her public image is important to Oriana Fallaci and she comes across in a confident way. She is very ambitious, strives for material gains and aims for wealth and possessions. Fallaci will achieve much popularity because of her harmonious and happy demeanor.

She tends to deem herself irresistible and may give the impression of being a bit snobbish. Oriana Fallaci tends to concentrate mostly on herself and expects others to adapt to her wishes. Oriana is very creative and strives to be the best artistically.

Oriana Fallaci tends to be a bit stubborn and wants to achieve her goals at any cost. Fallaci is very independent, resents authority and wants to gain control over others. Oriana Fallaci is capable of extraordinary achievements, but may resort to drastic measures in order to succeed.

Fallaci tends to be guided by inner vision and strong subconscious insight. She seems to have innate psychic talents and others may consider Oriana Fallaci a bit strange because of her interest in the occult and spiritual doctrines.

Her direction in life seems to depend a great deal on other people and her relationships with others may often influence Fallaci's decisions regarding her goals. This could be to Oriana's advantage at times, but could also lead to occasional setbacks.
