You often will go it alone, getting away from the influence of other people, focusing on some inner drive that pushes you to express your passion and desire to be free and independent. You would rather take your chances on your own than having to do someone else's bidding, or finding yourself in a subservient position you can't avoid. You instincts tell you to fight to maintain a sense of who you are, and so you come on strong, sometimes overacting to the influence of other people, protecting yourself from their control and manipulation.
You have the makings of a powerful leader and can operate under the most adverse of conditions, moving forward despite your fears, taking your chances and refusing to back down. There's much you can accomplish when the occasion calls for courage and forcefulness. Your confidence in yourself under pressure is considerable and your gut reactions are often ahead of your mind. The trouble comes when you are taken out of the struggle and you need to build loyalities with other people and work together pursuing shared goals and values.
What you really want is to feel powerful with other people and to play a leadership role in making your relationships meaningful and fulfilling. That, you realize, means letting go of any illusions of grandeur that you have about yourself and coming to grips with your powerful urge to initiate change and express your unique self. But persistence and consistency are not your strong suits. You tend to charge at your goals, becoming white hot, and then withdraw just as quickly, waiting for the next opportunity to present itself. Eventually you will wear down your enemies through sheer persistance, if you don't become disillusioned yourself. While this approach may work in highly competitive environments, it doesn't do much to inspire the trust and deep connections with other people you want in your life.
Face the raw and sometimes ugly truth about life is nothing new to you. Besides, you have a lot to offer other people by way of your vision and courage. You say what you mean and take action on your beliefs and values. This can be overwhelming to most people, especially if they do not realize your intentions are good and that you place a high value on honor and respect. What's missing is an acknowledgement of your softer, submissive side, which you almost never show to the world, or even yourself. By listening to other people's emotions and feelings, and developing an intuition about what they are saying, you can develop a sense of intimacy and closeness and thus gain their trust and confidence. Without this, you might be able to play the role of protector or defender, but not one of confidant or supporter. To establish those heart-felt connections, you'll find you must first learn to trust yourself and accept your softer nature unconditionally. Then you can move on, showing your feelings with other people in a positive and supportive way that builds mutual respect and confidence.

You believe in luck, or forces outside of you that direct your fate, and are capable of playing a dominant role in your undertakings. You can be incredibly stubborn and confrontational when you want to, but you have a kind and good-natured streak you reserve for those in your inner circle. You can be dramatic when it serves your purposes, but often withdraw altogether, waiting for the right time to make your point or take action on some contested issue.
