"....Romantic vision and a rich imagination
Another strength in your character is your ability to discern subtle connections between apparently disparate facts and circumstances, and to see a story or a broader pattern which others might ignore. Thus you often grasp the essence of a situation or a person instantaneously, through a kind of "sixth sense" which is usually extremely accurate yet which you cannot logically explain. ..."

"...A direct and honest approach to life
There is no nonsense and no pretense about your personality and your views. You are blunt, direct and honest, and you do not try to hide behind elaborate social veneers and posturings to mask who you are and what you want. You have little patience with hypocrisy, and are not averse to directly challenging and, if necessary, offending those who offend you by their refusal to be themselves. You are intelligent without being an intellectual snob; you enjoy luxury and pleasure and are unafraid of calling desire by its name and unashamedly pursuing what you want; and you have no illusions about the fact that life sometimes demands courage, ruthlessness and effort if a person wants to get ahead. Some people might find you a little overbearing or tactless, but it is not these people whom you wish to impress anyway. In fact you expend little energy trying to impress anybody, believing that in the end you will be judged by actions and your achievements, and that anyone worth your time will accept you as you are without fancy wrappings and bows. ...."

"....Honesty can become tactlessness
You are not afraid of aggression, either your own or that of others, having made peace with the necessity of going after what you want directly and being prepared to fight for it if you must. ... You tend to say exactly what you mean, and are inclined to be a little tactless; but you are not incapable of being kind or gentle when you want to be. Rather, you resent having to adapt the expression of your thoughts and feelings to any required social expectation, and dislike those circuitous conversations which go on and on and say nothing relevant in the end. ... Those people who are close to you love and value you for your honesty and your vitality; and those who do not appreciate these qualities are not likely to be appreciated by you in turn. ..."

"...Integrity springs from self-honesty and a lack of hypocrisy
Thus, despite your intelligence, basic good taste and perceptiveness, you are at heart a very basic and simple personality - not simple in the sense of stupid or naive, but in the best sense of being at home with the real bones of life and people, and responsive to the beauties which are here on earth rather than those which hide behind clouds in heaven. You are straightforward and direct, warm-hearted without being sentimental and generous without being cloyingly self-abnegating. You are one of those people whom others instinctively trust, because there is nothing false about you - you put in the shop window exactly what there is in the shop, no more and no less, and your natural intuitive capacity to read people (for someone who is instinctively honest in the deepest sense can always perceive falsity in another person) allows you to navigate the currents of others' more convoluted motives without getting harmed. Life will eventually challenge you on that side of your life in which you are uncomfortable and awkward - the worlds of the intellect and the spirit, and all the things which you cannot see and touch. But when faced with such a challenge you are likely to be as innately honest and free of pretensions as you are in the other spheres of your life. ...."

"... Contributing to human development
You will never find real fulfilment serving only yourself. The knowledge that you have contributed something to society and to the development of human consciousness is essential to your feeling that your life has some deeper purpose. Although you may have any number of interesting hobbies, companions and interests that bring you happiness, it is particularly in relation to the work you choose that you need to look beyond merely personal concerns and select a vocation which also benefits others in some way - especially in the realm of mental development. Because ideas and their power to promote change interest you, you might look within the spheres of education, sociology, group work, psychology or esoteric subjects for themes which might strike a spark in you. ... Your realism and practicality give you special abilities, and if you combine these with a larger and higher vision, you can find real satisfaction and fulfilment in knowing that you have offered something to people beyond your immediate world. ...The more energy you put into work which encompasses a broader connection with the welfare of human beings as a group, the stronger your connection will grow with a sense of meaning and true self-esteem; for you have something special to offer others, and you need to believe in your own dreams. ..."

"... A need for unpredictability
Although you seem to want continuity and security in your relationship life, there is a rather disruptive quality in you which has a way of generating precisely the opposite situation. You are not quite as domestic and monogamous as you might appear, and need more change and freedom than you are usually able to ask for. Perhaps you do not even know you want it. But if you cannot face and live out some of this more independent side of yourself, you may unconsciously choose men who embody it, and who coerce you into having that space by demanding it themselves. ... Try not to be frightened by this volatile quality within you. It is not incompatible with a good and stable relationship. But it is incompatible with a stereotyped one that might have been the social model fifty years ago. ..."
