You have a BIG personality – fiery, romantic, adventuresome – and you exude a warm, uplifting influence on the people in your life. There is such a deep belief within you that your rightful place is at the very centre of the universe that, by willing it, it usually happens. You know what you love and love what you securely know about; it is simply a part of you.

Mentally you are incisive, quick and immediate; emotionally you are intense, fervent and devoted. This forceful combination of fiery feeling and sharp intellect is a winner. A certain nobility of manner coupled with a deeply romantic view of life (and of yourself) tends to attract admirers to you – people who are impressed by your generosity of spirit, your conviction, your social magnetism and your devil-may-care personality. You are a natural actor, a talented and self-indulgent ham who eats up attention like a kid in a sweet shop. You mythologize your life, your needs, your goals; you are the hero in search of the finest performance of self and in love with your role in life (and if you are not, then you are pretty unhappy). You make a fine leader, for you have that envious ability to inspire others just by being yourself.

It is easy, however, for you to go over-board because your need for ego-gratification is immense. Your vanity is easily wounded and a certain emotional immaturity – a tendency to throw temper tantrums when your cherished view or dignity is challenged – can be your bête noire. You want your own way, and you know no other way of being your real self than to play the role of Boss. Although you do this with great panache, so much so that you convince others of your specialness and importance, your behaviour can nevertheless be domineering and condescending if you rely on others too much for applause. You can be a bit like Toad of Toad Hall, who was in love with the grandiose adventure of his life, but who needed his loyal comrades to witness fully his heroism on every escapade (‘I only want to give pleasure to you fellows. Live for others! That’s my motto in life.’). You want to be in command of your life, but you also want to share your enjoyment of success.

You are a person of enormous courage, vitality and integrity. You can inspire others, not only by the way you dramatically live your life (mistakes and all), but also by the sheer intensity of your enjoyment of life. This makes you a wonderful teacher and communicator. Your creativity is immense and your enthusiasm contagious; you paint a big picture of yourself and others will want to catch whatever secret it is that you have.
