You are a practical person, driven by your strengths and stamina. When all systems are go, you are able to step into the material world with confidence and strength. You are able to create out of love for the phenomena of creation, on every level. Although your earthiness may sometimes confine you to the material plane, it also endows you with the power to give substance to your intuitions. Your material possessions embody your spirit. You are a person of conviction, and you believe in your action. Striding purposefully ahead, you go even farther, more effectively. You are aware of your duty, and you know that your success depends on your commitment to creating and constructing. As a result, it is important for you to be deeply involved in your career. Improvisation is not your forte; on the contrary, you tend to plan out your work in advance and pace yourself carefully. This tendency may strike others as being somewhat plodding and slow. But the opinion of others means little to you. You judge yourself on the basis of the results of your work. Your accomplishments arouse your pride and possessiveness, because you view them as evidence of your worth. However, the work ethic so prevalent in our society is deeply ingrained in you. Merely by slogging on with your duty, you achieve such personal rewards and satisfactions as the knowledge that your potency never flickers; your inner virility and ability to follow through are steady, sure, and irresistible. The only drawback is that your earthiness and stubbornness may confine your interests to somewhat low horizons. Your capacity for work is related to a capacity for self-devotion. You are able to give your entire being to a great cause, with all the might and conscientiousness you possess, if you believe the goal to be your ultimate purpose in life. Your initial problem is to find the cause that will define your life and destiny. If you were to err, if you wandered into the trap of a bad cause fraught with risk, you would suffer a terrible setback. Therefore, the essential value which will define your life and destiny is the result of a long ripening process, a slow, gradual deliberation. If your purpose in life were to elude you, you would be tempted by indulgence and apathy. However, this is pure conjecture!

Due to the influence of Leo rising, you seem to have a high ideal of yourself, a vibrant and glorious self-image. You have a taste for luxury and enjoy showing off in society. You are generally restless and impatient, have an insatiable appetite for change, movement, and novelty and struggle with the slightest hint of routine or stasis. Extremely independent, you live your life with a total disregard for convention. As a result, people might see you as an oddball, but they appreciate your ability to think independently, and they listen to your innovative ideas and points of view. You are ambitious, rebellious, magnanimous, and enjoy stepping into leadership roles as an opportunity to display your righteousness and the nobility of your ideals. The truth is, your need to behave so individualistically hides insecurities, and you might be driven to seek the approval and confirmation of your personal worth in the eyes of those around you. Maturity and experience (a bit of suffering and hardship) should help you regain the feeling of having a true purpose in life.
