Should you storm life by the front or back door? Is life full of fresh-faced opportunities and bright laughter, or is it a corrupt place, worthy of cynical humour and dark suspicions?

You are a forceful individual with drive, energy and tenacity. You know what you want and will find ways, direct or indirect, of achieving it. But you can become torn between an impatient, up-front, naive, trusting approach to the world and a suspicious, distrustful doubt; between a self-denying, intense, slow-burning determination and a go-for-it pizzazz. When these two sides of yourself work against each other you may find yourself becoming embroiled in bitter conflicts which seem to be none of your making. Relationships fall apart, and those you thought of as friends stab you in the back. When you get your act together, however, you become unstoppable, a courageous, humorous, charismatic, co-operative leader, prepared to push yourself to the limit and beyond in your determination to set the world to rights, and to leave your mark.

People may see you as cynical, brash, self-assured and pushy, or as somewhat private and quietly purposeful, but none will doubt your sincerity and commitment to your chosen path. Most would, however, be surprised at how much you care about others’ good opinions. For though you want to make a real and lasting impact upon the world by one route or another, you especially want and need the approval, appreciation and loud applause of your peers and can even brood, get bitter and self-destructive if your path is blocked, or your plans are crossed.

Your secret weapon, when you find it at your centre, is your belief in your own abilities. This gives you a formidable will to win. Equally it gives you a great capacity to help others stand on their own two feet, and to motivate and encourage them. To bring out this creative core you need demanding projects and ambitions to occupy your energies, especially when young.

Life for you is a drama, and self-dramatization is your forte. This can draw you towards the theatre or any arena, such as sports, where there is an opportunity to shine. No matter what career you follow, however, you will make a career out of your life. You believe in yourself and make a natural leader, but at the same time you want to be thought well of, and can become withdrawn and even bitter if your enthusiastic ideas meet with resistance.

Yours is a sharp, clear-headed, penetrating approach to life. You identify what you want to achieve and you go about achieving it with a natural gift of strategy and leadership. You have many of the qualities of the natural leader: an ability to put yourself and your cause first single-mindedly; dedication; charisma; force; a talent for research, probing into hidden corners, which is excellent for military campaigning tactics and manoeuvres, but also for campaigning journalism; and a gift for psychological insights and penetrating analysis.

You are attracted to physical exercise and sport. If you do not consciously channel your physical, emotional and mental aggression in a purposeful way you can become very bitter, frustrated and self-destructive. You can take a real disliking to people, and can be arrogant, irascible, rude and bloody-minded. Yet you are a person of integrity. You are frank, honest and like to tell it as you see and feel it. This refreshing honesty keeps you young and open-minded, always ready for new ideas and experiences. Your forceful, sharp, biting wit and wry cynicism about human weaknesses makes you an excellent humorist and comedian.
