Savannah
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Savannah often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Savannah strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Savannah can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that she will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that her efforts will simply not be good enough. She is usually modest and realistic in assessing what she can accomplish and, if anything, Savannah underestimates herself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Shannon does apply herself diligently in a given area, she gradually gains self-confidence as she masters skills and develops expertise.

Savannah conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Shannon may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

She has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Savannah is willing to dedicate a great deal of her energy and force to an important cause, and she will act decisively on her beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Shannon gets so involved and identified with her ideas that she cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes her philosophically.

Savannah 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, Savannah will do it "even if it takes forever". Self-discipline comes naturally to Savannah and she instinctively realizes that any creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration". Shannon chooses practical, realistic goals and pursues them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly fashion. Savannah 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.

When Savannah wants something, she goes after it with passionate zeal and is sometimes so driven by her desire that she loses all objectivity. Savannah gets so deeply involved in whatever she is pursuing that she becomes one-sided, even fanatical. Strong-willed and stubborn, Savannah insists on having her way no matter the cost. She is fascinated with power. Shannon often tries to overpower anything or anyone she perceives as an obstacle, if not physically, then by the force of her will. Shannon can be ruthless and impersonal when it comes to achieving her ambitions and goals in life. Savannah has enormous energy and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement. Shannon can also become a compulsive workaholic.

Savannah has a powerful drive for achievement, and a career in athletics, or some other very vigorous, challenging, active work that appeals to her. She is apt to push herself very hard, trying to outdo the competition. When possible, Shannon likes to work independently, blazing trails for others to follow. Impatience, recklessness, or a too ego-centered approach to success could be her downfall. (Knowing Savannah, however, she is apt to get right back up!)

Savannah has an extraordinary drive for power and influence in the world, which can be used for good or ill, for her own personal aggrandizement or for achieving some wider aim.

Savannah could be a channel for healing, transforming, revivifying energies in society or in individuals. Her work will involve stimulating deep, fundamental changes and bringing to light hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret information and knowledge.

Discipline, concentration, a realistic sense of what is attainable, and steady dedication to achieving her ambitions are the keys to Savannah's progress. Savannah is apt to move slowly but constantly in the direction of her goals, and solid achievement is the outcome of this conservative approach.

Her career is apt to involve beauty, adornment, the arts, or entertainment. Her personal charm and appeal are significant factors in her profession, as well. Savannah is very good at selling and promoting - whether it is herself, or her product or company.
