Читать книгу Sun Sign, Moon Sign: Discover the personality secrets of the 144 sun-moon combinations - Charles Harvey - Страница 158

FIRE/AIR Selfish yet altruistic; full of bright ideas; friendly; congenial; extrovert; enthusiastic; incisive; sharp; analytical; sociable; progressive; revolutionary; social activist; dramatic; exceptionally individual.

You are where it is at, and beyond that too. But are you a self-obsessed revolutionary or a social prophet? Are you a passionate progressive or a detached onlooker? Or have you discovered how to combine both through a vocation which meets your need for constant challenge?

You may appear to be self-centred but, just when everyone thinks you are in it only for yourself, you reveal your capacity for true friendship and interest in the needs of others. You can be very civilized and very selfish. You want to make your mark upon the world but you do not want to scar it in the process, though it may not believe you at first. When firing on all cylinders, and not just spouting hot air, you are original and inventive; a natural pioneer, entrepreneur and leader of progressive causes; a great improver, able to see the big picture and inspire others with a large and distinctly different vision of things. You will take an active interest in anything that appeals to your maverick, heretic and non-conformist approach to life. New schemes and ideas may be more exciting to you than the prospect of finishing what you have already started, for orderly routine is a living death for you. Being self-employed and doing your own thing attracts you, yet you also have a strong social sense and can work well with others, provided you are in charge. You rightly have a high opinion of your own genius, and in order to be happy you need to be working and playing in areas where you feel free to take the initiative and pursue your observations and insights.

With your razor-sharp mind, you enjoy an intellectual challenge, and have an ability to look at things from a different perspective. You delight in being controversial and poking fun at the status quo. You see yourself as a go-ahead mould-breaker, an anarchist even. Be it in politics, film, fashion or the very way in which you express yourself, you are drawn to the non-conformist, original and maverick, and are never happier than when out on limb arguing for a viewpoint that others do not yet share. In this you can combine courage and imagination, for you are a natural campaigner who can pursue what you believe in with a burning conviction.

Friendships and social contacts are very important to you, and here as in so much of your life you can oscillate between self-interest and social concern. One moment you are being an elitist social climber, using your natural charisma and powers of persuasion to chat up the in-crowd with a cynical eye to the main chance; the next you are giving your time and energy to help the socially deprived and under-privileged. This dichotomy may play havoc with your philosophical and political affiliations as you veer from radical liberalism to complete free-enterprise. If you can allow room for both you will probably end up embracing an enlightened self-interest and make friends right across the fascinating spectrum of human viewpoints.
