You are a perennial student of life, methodically adding to your skills, talents, security and enjoyment. You chart your future with a clear, rational grasp of what is necessary, and you lay foundations that are index-linked and geared to letting you enjoy the good things of life whilst never shirking your duties at work or at home.

Enormously responsible, capable and blessed with lots of earthy charm, you aim to do the right thing for yourself and for loved ones – nothing pleases you more than serving those who depend upon you. One side of you is very fixed and self-assured: you know yourself and your needs and desires well, and you are confident in what you can do. You are also clear about what you do not want to do. Another side of you, however, tends to question and analyse yourself, and doubts that you have really got it right. This is the side that tells you that you could always do a little bit better.

You are a sticker, a veritable workaholic and persevering perfectionist, dedicated to high standards and sterling service. But you are also quite independent, and prefer to be able to choose when, where and for whom you work. Ideally, you work for yourself, and you are a jolly hard taskmaster whose work is never done. Work and service is what you instinctively centre yourself around, and yet it can at times weigh you down if you let yourself get lost in the sea of details that you try to master.

You are the great pragmatist. At home in the world of the senses, you are able to build up realistic priorities and a good sense of reality by dealing sequentially and logically with the things of this world that you can touch, taste, see and add up. As a result, you are an excellent organizer and can manage many types of responsibilities admirably, from domestic arrangements, gardening, child-rearing and teaching to writing, dancing, painting, singing and running your own theatre company. You make it your business to know your medium inside out, and your professional approach inspires confidence in everyone.

Essentially you aspire to a life of simplicity, usefulness and rational harmony. You need to create something concrete and enduring, something that is morally sound, practical and contributes to the wellbeing of others, and something that is ultimately an expression of your own worth. When you are fully engaged in the purpose of your life, however quiet and humble it may appear to be, your love of excellence and of pleasure come together to create a warmly humorous, sharp-witted and innately wise personality whom others admire and respect.
