Allowing yourself time to play cannot be overstated. You often throw yourself into your work with such abandon that you resist hearing about limits or reasons why this or that cannot be done. Yet, it's precisely this wonderful creativity that sets you apart, often putting you out in the spotlight, being the voice of the many who you identify so deeply with. You need time to wonder, rearranging the puzzle, letting your intuition and receptive mind feel the various possibilities, sensing each each potential and promise. Finding that place in yourself is the key.
There will be times when you will have to choose between what you love to do and what you know is the right thing to do. Although it may be hard to admit, the greatest leaders are those that serve. Use your genius to find creative solutions to problems that address the real needs of those who depend upon you. Genuinely connecting with your loyalty is how you can act as the bridge between the people you serve and the inspiration that so dramatically comes to you. If you expect a wholehearted response from other people, you've got to set the pace by your own example.
The arts will stir your soul, as will romance and all things dramatic. Your gregarious nature could easily end up making you become over-confident. Should you start to think you have the Midas touch, you could ruin everything. Your loyalty and dedication can be your guide. That is where your power comes from. You are the voice of those just like you, your people, your community. Together, you can actualize the dreams you both share.

The picture you get of the world is absolutely huge and encompasses whole societies and cultures, social hierarchies and traditions that make up the fabric of human affairs, struggles and aspirations. You're very excited about all of this and are on the constant lookout for few mountains to climb and influential circles to enter. You're straightforward, intelligent and broadminded about all the opportunities you see before you. If you can avoid getting into some serious hot water with your outspoken style, your destiny is to be the light-bearer for many others, pointing the way to facing the big social issues that play out in their lives. You're optimistic and energized, and totally convinced you're got the right stuff to move through it all, adventurous, courageous, passionate and proud. People are impressed by the boldness of your views, and even your detractors will pick on the fact that its the heat of the debate that attracts you, sometimes even more than its conclusions. Tedious details, paperwork and bureaucratic churn will bore you. You'd much rather be in the eye of the storm, following the latest developments, being part of the action than on the sidelines, analyzing the results, detached from the excitement that makes you come alive. Your leadership style will be to communicate your vision and deploy the detailed work to someone else. Your versatility and ability to think right out of the box set you apart as the creative problem solver you are.
Narrowing your focus and choosing an specialized area of expertise will not come easy. Freedom of movement and thought are essential for your well-being and you often go out of your way to avoid long-term binding agreements. As ardent as your enthusiasm is, it doesn't take much to squelch it. Negative people and dysfunctional arrangements should be avoided at all costs as you are particularly prone to overreact to any criticism, even if well-intended. Search out people that encourage you to explore your talent and do your best. Trying to improve your weaknesses is unlikely to work. By stressing the positive, you will accomplish more in the end. Getting the facts straight and applying critical thinking to them is also a must. Although you gut feelings are quite accurate, anything you do to clarify that picture you have of life will be critical to your success.
In love and personal relationships you are affectionate, intense, passionate but can also demand to be admired and made to feel special. There's nothing wrong with this, as long as it comes from an authentic place. Your ego can quickly get the better of you, so be careful of those who would flatter you or put you on a pedestal to gain favor without merit. A sincere heart will detect and deal with that sort of behavior early on. At home, you prefer to be in charge, but will do well to share decision making with your mate, respecting their input and being tolerant of their point of view. You have a special place in your heart for children, and most certainly your own. They will feel your energy and enthusiasm and be drawn to your love and encouragement. Be sure to make time for them in your busy schedule. You will not be able to reclaim any lost years.

Beware of periods of depression caused by self-doubt as well as over-confidence in your abilities. They are opposite sides of the same coin. Concentrate on being authentic and emotionally alive.
