Viggo Mortensen
drive and ambition

He is a "busy bee" - energetic, restless, and forever on the go. His active mind is always buzzing with ideas and Viggo sometimes finds it difficult to relax, slow down or take the time to reflect and regroup. Viggo Mortensen tends to live on nervous energy. He can accomplish a great deal in short bursts, but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina and steady, persistent effort are not easy for Mortensen. Viggo Mortensen often scatters his energies into so many directions and activities at once that he cannot finish or follow through on all of them. He needs variety, change and intellectual challenges.

Viggo Mortensen has a streak of the pacifist or defeatist in him. Learning to assert himself in a strong, clear, forthright manner, and developing stamina in the face of obstacles are necessary to counter such tendencies. To accomplish all he is capable of, it would also be very beneficial for Viggo Mortensen to work on building up his physical energy. Viggo needs to get regular exercise, eat healthfully, get plenty of rest (something he may require more of than average), and especially avoid activities and people that dissipate and waste his time.

Viggo Mortensen 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. Viggo Mortensen 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 Mortensen does not reveal his real aims and intentions to others until they cross him.

Vanity or indiscretions in relationships could lead Viggo Mortensen to his downfall.

He is attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and which offer Viggo Mortensen a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not his cup of tea. Viggo may make his living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and he is happiest when he can create a place in the world for his unique combination of different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for Viggo Mortensen to try to fit himself into a ready-made mold.
