An extroverted intuitive, you are open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. Your duality is made up of equal parts of intuition and sensitivity, giving you great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, you have a great sense of your fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, your advice is often sought. In material terms, it gives you a talent for locating lost objects and a spirit of discovery and invention. Overall, you welcome the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy you, you have the ability to cheer yourself up rapidly and are quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for you. It is up to you to renew yourself, to behave in such a way as to drain your environment of fearsome or threatening aspects. You are usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within yourself, you sense the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of your ideal and all your hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in your striving to free yourself and your fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, you display a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces you intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because you are quite sociable, the only thing you instinctively grasp profoundly is social action and organization. Your perception of your own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, your grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide your unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, your fear of strong personalities. But you are above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of your spirit, and you are continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As you apply yourself to ignoring whatever is impervious to your aspirations, you should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for you and the world. In relation to your ideal, you behave realistically, although others are unable to perceive your realism because you expressed yourself in such an unconventional and eccentric fashion. You are passionately committed to the quest

With your complacent, steady character and bluntness, you sometimes display a determinism and persistence you are likely to carry to an extreme.

Enraged by the injustice, unfairness, and tyranny in the world, you are attracted to the study of social problems. You will struggle to solve them, torn between your awareness of practical realities and your attraction to idealist, utopian solutions. An environmentalist before the discipline was invented, anything related to nature or the Earth arouses your interest.

You fervently hope the lonely will find companionship. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to withdraw into yourself and concentrate on your own thoughts and feelings.
