You don't know how strong you are
You find it difficult to recognize just how strong you are. You tend to go wherever the windblown, sometimes feeling like a spectator in your own life, and you find it quite hard to summon the energy to steer your own path. The slightest obstacle or difficulty throws you off course and makes you feel insecure. You react by seeking help from those around you. This is generally a positive trait, but it can work the other way if it becomes automatic, because then you feel you can only find inner stability with the help of others. Remember that you do have strength of your own; it has got you this far despite the occasional chaotic, difficult time. Take some times to rediscover the part of you that is confident, the part that wants to push forward in your life. You'll find that you, too, can be strong.

Mostly b
You have a powerful spirit
You have a strong and calm nature that has enabled you to develop self-confidence, and confidence in life itself. Your relationship with your inner self evolves constantly. You use quiet moments to recharge your batteries and when there is an obstacle in your path, you summon all your energy to look at the bigger picture and not lose hope. You are able to learn from experience constructively and you incorporate lessons learned into your everyday life. You become even stronger by channelling the energy from difficult situations that occur. Something that you might expect to shake your resolve instead boosts your potential. You have already understood that inner strength is the key to many aspects of life, so build on it, and see what the inner you can achieve.
Mostly c
You have a quiet strength
You do have a sense of 'inner strength,' but it sometimes feels hesitant and timid. Instead of strength, you feel a sort of grounded energy. The trouble is, you're only really aware of it when life is going well. If things go wrong, you lose your way and find it difficult to get back on track; your sense of stability is shaken. In the face of intense emotions and fear brought on by the emergence of a problem, you'll usually react in two ways. First, you tend to give in to your emotions, be that anger or tears. Then, to weather the storm, you climb back into the safety of your shell. Wary of asking for help or being carried away by events, you tend to shut down. Your short-term goal should be to get back in control of your emotions. Eventually you need to try to develop a reflex that will help you find the strength to deal with difficulties when they come up. Don't let fear take you over and ruin the sense of calm you have managed to cultivate between difficult periods. Keep cultivating this sense of calm and don't lose sight of it when problems do arise.

Mostly d
You are combative by nature
The kind of strength you possess drives you forward, but is it really inner strength? As far as you are concerned, inner strength forms the solid core of a person and is a part of you that no-one else can interfere with. Your inner strength enables you to face any difficult life throws at you effortlessly and with confidence. It's like you've got superpowers. However, don't get too carried away; this kind of behavior often means that you are masking your true emotions. you seem to think that to be strong you must remain unruffled at all times, avoid showing any external signs of weakness, and never ask for help. This is because you are confusing inner strength with your need to be a winner. Try to let your guard down a bit - brute force can be useful, but in moderations. You will learn that being strong doesn't necessarily mean being infallible. Real strength actually means having the ability to confront and deal effectively with the things that happen to you in life.

I answered mostly b. I have a Cancer sun with Virgo Asc.


In numerology I am a 1 birth path with and 8 expression. I think too many people look over the numerological aspects of things.


Matter of fact, since I'm being opinionated today, I think it's not easy to determine things with just the sun and ascendant. The whole chart needs to be looked at, as well as a numerological profile. With that said, I digress. Thanks for sharing Lady.

Of course, one would have to take a look at the entire chart but frankly that would be impossible within the constraints of an open forum, so this is a compressed/concentrated way of finding out information to input into my super computer of a mind smile
You are most welcome, it was my pleasure EU, glad to hear you have enjoyed it.

Always open to interpretations Phoenix smile though in your last post, I would assume the key word would be doing so in the car, a matter of outer and inner confidence and expression.
