How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

You are always questioning and learning, and you seem young
and alive no matter what your chronological age, for your mind
is always alert, curious, flexible and open to new experiences.
You have a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and you learn
easily, but you also get bored rather quickly. You can be
something of a scatterbrain, for you tend to have so many ideas
and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all.
You need and crave variety, change, mental stimulation, and an
active social life.

Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, you are always a
refreshing and interesting conversationalist. You enjoy meeting
and interacting with a variety of different people. You are
friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a light, playful way, and
no matter how badly you may be feeling, you never appear heavy
or somber. You may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls.
You have a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that
prevents you from taking yourself or life too seriously. In
fact, you may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that
others consider very important.

In general, you respond to life mentally and objectively
rather than emotionally, and you may not empathize with people
very much. You do not like to be weighed down with too much
responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore,
if you cannot UNDERSTAND something reasonably and logically,
then very often you would prefer to ignore it, including your
own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.

Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of yours
and your life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to
your restlessness. You become nervous and fidgety if things are
not moving quickly enough. You are interested in what is current
and up-to-date, the newest trends in thought or style.

Your gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for
language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to
communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and
between ideas. You tend to become an incessant chatterbox or
gossip if you do not have work or other involvements that
utilize your mental, verbal, and social skills.

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, you
are not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. You
are extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and you
allow only a special few into your inner world. Like a wary
animal, you are cautious and mistrustful of those you do not
know until you "sniff them out". You are very, very instinctive
and intuitive. You usually have a strong, immediate gut reaction
to people, even though you may be unable to clearly articulate
why you feel as you do. Your feelings and perceptions go deeper
than words.

You also have a powerful need for deep emotional involvement
and you form very intense love bonds and attachments. You are
possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that you
perceive as a threat to your bond with someone you love. When
you commit yourself to someone or something, you are
wholeheartedly devoted and expect complete loyalty in return.
You merge with or "marry" the person you love at a very deep
level and therefore separations are extremely painful for you,
and often stormy and nasty. When you have been wounded, you are
not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at
all possible. Certainly you will never forget the injury and
often you harbor grievances and resentments for a long, long
time. Forgiveness doesn't come easily to you.

Whatever you do, you do with passion and fervor, and you
often go to extremes. You are either hot or cold, never lukewarm
about anything. You can also be very narrow: either you are 100%
involved in something or else it doesn't exist for you at all.
Rarely are you emotionally detached and objective. You
definitely have a fanatical streak. You are also immensely
strong-willed and your tenacity in pursuing your objectives
often borders on being obsessive. Fierce pride, courage, and
emotional strength are yours in abundance.

You love mysteries and are deeply attracted to the hidden,
dark, secret side of life. You never take things at face value
and are always probing beneath the surface of people and
situations to discover what is REALLY going on. You tend to be
more of a cynic than an idealist.
