Sonny Bono
drive and ambition

Sonny Bono 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. Sonny Bono 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. Sonny Bono 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. Sonny Bono 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.

He is a doer and an achiever. Energetic, courageous, and often impatient, Sonny Bono will forge ahead with his plans regardless of others' reservations. In fact, Bono often feels other people get in his way and he prefers working on his own. Sonny is active, assertive, and rather competitive as well.

Sonny Bono seeks out risky and even dangerous activities, primarily for the excitement they provide. Impulsive, daring, impatient and unconventional, Sonny Bono cannot sit still for very long and he has no capacity for "doing things as they have always been done". He is a defiant and independent person who can go it alone if need be. Bono can be extremely bossy and pushy and is prone to sudden, erratic outbursts, especially when he has to wait for what he wants. Courage and a taste for the unorthodox or outrageous are Bono's strengths.

Sonny Bono has a powerful will and when he wants something, he pursues it passionately and relentlessly until he achieves it. He may be so driven by his desire that he loses all objectivity. Sonny Bono often becomes compulsive, even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard he must work for it. His forcefulness may be veiled or subtle, for often Bono does not reveal his real aims and intentions to others until they cross him. Intense power struggles and relationships with a strong dominance/submissiveness theme are likely to erupt. Sonny Bono has enormous energy reserves, and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if he uses his energies for constructive purposes.

In meeting his challenges and difficulties in life, Sonny Bono does have allies: his ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, his ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort. Remaining steady in the midst of crisis or sudden change is an aspect of this, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes. Sonny's timing is usually good.

He is likely to be quite sensual and has a strong desire to become one in soul and body with the object of his affection. Sonny Bono may have a strong feeling that by himself he is not quite complete and that he needs someone else to make him whole.
