You are a strong and determined individual who is not afraid to take on any challenge. Your personality is filled with practicality, and you don’t have time for unrealistic dreams or whimsical notions. When everything is running smoothly, your inner strength and stamina will take you straight to the heart of the material world, without any detours or mistakes. This then leads you to becoming the quintessential creator and producer. You create out of love for the phenomenon 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. You believe in your action; you have faith in your approach. Striding purposefully ahead, you go even farther, more effectively. You are aware that you have a job to do; you know your duty is to create and construct. As a result, it is important for you to be deeply involved in your career and to feel as though you are really accomplishing a goal that is important to you. You are coherent and pragmatic, and your life and mind are carefully organized. Improvisation is not your forte; on the contrary, you tend to plan out your work in advance, stick to the plan obstinately, 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 fruit of your labor. Your accomplishments arouse your pride and possessiveness, since 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 occasionally 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, to devote yourself body and soul, with all the might and conscientiousness you possess, if you believe the goal to be your ultimate purpose. Your initial problem is to find the cause you will make your purpose in life, because if you were to err, if you wandered into the trap of a bad cause fraught with risk, you would suffer a

Due to the influence of Leo rising, you seem to have a high ideal of yourself. Although your presence is electrifying, it belies a serious demeanor, and you might feel torn about indulging your taste for luxury or erring toward a more conservative approach. These contradictions could trigger anxiety. You’re a natural born leader but also enjoy behind-the-scenes activities in which you can apply your analytical abilities, tenacity, and self-control. You have succeeded in inhibiting your natural narcissism to such a degree that you only rarely allow yourself to seek the approval and confirmation of your personal worth in the eyes of those around you. Because you are ambitious, generous, and magnanimous, you enjoy the role of the benevolent leader for the opportunity it gives you to display your righteousness and the nobility of your ideals. Maturity and experience (a bit of suffering and hardship) should help you build a more secure sense of self-esteem. At that point, you’ll fully embrace “the lightness of being.”
