You have a flair for living. You know how to enjoy yourself, how to get others to enjoy themselves, and how to get the things you want done, done. But are you a six-shooting enforcer or a softly-softly, sweet-talking charmer? Are you a slow and steady conservative or an impatient radical? Are you a sensualist or a romantic? Should you believe your mind as it leaps to intuitive truths or should you follow your instincts and not believe anything you cannot see and touch, count and measure? You are torn between the eager need to make your mark upon the world immediately as Mr or Ms Action, and your instinct for the slower but surer comforts of the inside track and doing leisurely business over a long drink. You can equally be divided between art and science, between your need for personal self-expression and economic security. You are equally divided between your instinct to mother and support others and your conviction that people must do their own thing and make their own mistakes.

When these tough and tender aspects of you come together they can produce a formidable drive, energy, endurance and determination and an irresistible charm, charisma, creative drive and, let’s be frank, sex appeal. Sex and sensuality are very much at the roots of that natural, bright-eyed magnetism you give off when you are firing on all cylinders. This dynamic combination of energies with its easy-going toughness enables you to bring a freshness and hang-loose zest to whatever you do, be it in the arts, the sciences, business, sport or leisure.

Whilst you can be judicious in smoothing down ruffled feathers, you hate hypocrisy and are never afraid to speak out with a dry, pointed wit to name names, or to fight hard for what you believe to be rightfully yours. Many will be those who wish they had your healthy dose of self-respect, and equally many will be those who wish you had a stronger dose of tolerance and sensitivity. Such wishes will be tinged with both envy and truth, for yours is a personality which is impressively confident, strongly influential, and blatantly determined to get what you want. This, together with your sheer enjoyment of the material world, gives you a natural flair for financial and business matters where your mailed-fist-in-velvet-glove approach can produce powerful results.

You have a natural understanding of money and property which, combined with a competitive instinct makes you a natural entrepreneur, a ready player of the stock market and a merchant adventurer. But whilst you have an instinct to build up your wealth, you are likely to find that your hedonism and generosity can spend it even faster. For all your firm grasp of material matters, your intuitive vision of the larger realities makes you suspicious of out-and-out materialism. This means that, whatever you may be or do, there is always a space in your life where, despite yourself, an element of enchantment and the sheer dynamic mystery of life expresses itself.
