Pope John Paul II
drive and ambition

Pope John Paul II seesaws between being too pushy, confrontational and insistent on doing things his way, and being too eager to please, without a clear, definite goal of his own. Pope John Paul II strives for a balance between acting independently and assertively - and working cooperatively and interdependently with others. He may feel frustrated at times that he cannot simply do what HE wants and that he must always accommodate the needs and desires of others. Or he may feel hesitant to act in a positive, assertive manner if he does not have the support and approval of other people. Either way, he is not a loner. Pope John Paul II achieves his goals by collaborating and joining forces with others, by being a team player. He is very concerned with the concept of fairness and becomes quite indignant and vocal if he senses someone is being taken advantage of. Pope John Paul II avoids extremism and favors a balanced, moderate approach to living. He is unlikely to push himself too hard or to become fanatically driven to reach his goals.

Asserting himself and being direct and forceful about what he wants is very often difficult for The Pope. Though he may have a great deal of energy and drive, Pope John Paul II lacks confidence or simply the desire to put himself and his interests first. Positively, Karol Wojtyla can be very unselfish, working more on behalf of others rather than for himself.

However, Pope John Paul II denies his own desires and needs too much, and he is likely to secretly become very angry, which will sabotage his finest efforts.

He is capable of overcoming tremendous odds, and of enormous self-discipline and focus. When Pope John Paul II sets his sights on achieving something or is presented with a thorny challenge, it is his capacity for eliminating the superfluous, getting along with very little, and riding through tough times that enables Pope John Paul II to triumph eventually.

The Pope has noble aspirations and grand plans for himself. Combining personal goals with humanitarian concerns, philanthropy, and an interest in social betterment, Pope John Paul II is apt to be quite successful and influential in his community. He is suited to large, expansive enterprises and dealing with wealth.

His attunement to the intangible or unseen world is very strong. Thus, The Pope's drive and ambitions in life are apt to be colored by his subtle awareness, his mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe", creative fantasy, and the ability to visualize may be aspects of his career, also. Pope John Paul II has the ability to "channel" healing or inspirational messages.

His profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing, or to the use of his nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to the public in some way. Pope John Paul II does well in any business that involves responding to people's emotional needs and tastes.

Karol Wojtyla's profession may be unusual, very innovative and progressive, or outside the "mainstream", providing alternative services or products. A certain uneven, erratic quality characterizes The Pope's career and rise in the professional arena. Sudden changes of fortune, unexpected upsets, and twists of fate are likely.

He is mentally alert and can explain his position clearly and unambiguously so that others can understand it. Always ready for action, Pope John Paul II has courage and determination and the ability to retaliate in the proper manner.
