Learning to play the game and stand up for yourself is the big lesson in all of this. You face the challenge of every man and woman as they stand before the machinery of civilization. To be familiar with its achievements and blind spots, to coexist and prosper while still being true to yourself, is all you or anyone else can do.

You will often engage boldly, offering your opinions and perceptions, hoping to find someone who can relate to your point of view. You're quite aware that you could lose yourself if you constantly allow other people to take the lead. So, you often take the path of following your instincts, rather than letting logic and conscience dictate your behavior. And yet, your strong social instincts have to find expression. What you really want is to be heard and to have impact. Your inner critic is very active, and you expect a lot from yourself. At the end of the day, it's all about taking action on your ideals, and offering a relevant look at the social world you live in that takes center stage.

People and ideas interest you above anything else.

You'll often set the pace of the conversation along the lines of your own agenda, challenging anything that does not fit. You take control, presenting your ideas as obvious and self-evident to anyone but the most unconscious and ignorant. Underneath it all, you want to open the doors of communication and cooperation. You see yourself as the instigator, the one who spills the beans, making waves that engage people along common lines and purposes. You're witty, often outrageous, and recognize the fact that when people work together, the possibilities are endless. Patience is not on your list of virtues, and you're not willing to pull punches for long, especially when your passion for innovation and change is aroused, and inertia and resignation threaten to destroy it.

Your sense of humor and enthusiastic attitude makes it easy to make friends and acquaintances. What's not so obvious is that learning to listen and tolerate people's shortcomings can be very challenging to you. You realize you cannot do it alone, and yet you often find yourself marginalized from the mainstream when you start to bang heads with people who are put off by the changes you push for. You see the world as a constantly changing place where people form alliances one day, only having to abandon them the next, in order to stay relevant and alive. You rely on your wits to survive, and are often a step or two in front of the competition. Being attuned is the key, but not everyone is willing to go along with you, as you'll quickly find out. The world you piece together is made up of bit and pieces from many sources, glued together with your own intuition and charged with your conviction that the best results are the product of people working together towards a common goal.

There's a real possibility that you may never get around to developing your mental or personal powers past an elementary stage. But having a solid grasp of the facts will be critical if you wish to go beyond a small circle of influence.

You can be restless, moving from one interest to another, never settling down long enough to grasp the fundamentals, if you're not careful. In your brightest moments, you pull everything together in amazingly insightful ways. On a bad day, you're ungrounded and inconsistent, and are full of contraditions. Still, there's something eternally youthful and optimistic about your outlook and you combine an idealistic trust in people with a creative genius for brilliant ideas and original thought.

Life's dramas endlessly fascinate you, peaking your curiosity, prompting you to share your own experiences and point of view. In love, you are charming and passionate, but resist being pinned down to routine or boring responsibilities. Making your mind up can land you into serious difficulties with your mate, Making the time to be emotionally available is often the problem. You can be the life of the party or the center of the controversy, but learning to translate your idealism about people into emotional commitments is altogether something else. You mate needs to know this and learn to steer the conversation from the abstract and theoretical to the intimate and personal on a regular basis.Your children will love your lighter side and you will not tire of taking them places and relating to their sense of discovery and wonder.

You have a very practical bent to all you do, and you do a lot.

The physical side of life has a powerful effect on you. Whether it be the serenity of nature or the driving pace of city life, you sense the energy underlying your experiences and savor their differences and unique qualities. Your world is very alive, and each sight and sound carries with it its own message and rhythm, interconnecting with everything it touches, declaring its special role before it folds back to where it came from.

The more complex people are, the harder it is for you to deal with them. This can often mean you end up writing them off as either not being worth the effort, or not being able to fit into your many plans. For those who do figure in to world, they will know you as clever and funny as well as determined and pragmatic when you need to be. Being able to give into other people's demands is an important lesson for you. Much as you prefer to be in the drivers seat, you'll come to know you can't be good at everything. Being able to live with differences and opposing points of view can pull you out of a simplistic black and white world to one where everyone is engaged and working together, coming up with solutions and approaches that have a broad range of appeal and application.

Having a stable home life is very important to your long term stability and happiness in life. Although part of you will never settle down and virtually thrives on change, another part needs to be grounded and secure in order to do your best. Your sexuality plays strongly into who you are, although not everyone would think so because of the intelligent and logical face you show the world. In love, you can be quite romantic and caring. Your imaginative nature makes you an attractive lover, sometimes too attractive for your mate's tastes. You will need an element of freedom and independence in your relationships, but will eventually settle down with someone who appreciates a good discussion and recognizes the support and caring you bring to those you love. Children gravitate to you as your childish side is quite active. They feel secure with you and are stimulated by your inquisitive and curious mind.
