Creative and colorful, you can usually communicate your ideas in a dramatic way.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Scorpio, adds to your inner strength. Idealistic and sensitive, you can be affectionate, yet secretive.

You may wish to channel your spiritual and creative forces into writing or turn your fine ideas into something tangible.

Looking for ways to achieve emotional satisfaction, you often turn to travel and find that a change of atmosphere helps you to relax and feel optimistic. Even though work seems to interfere with your ideas of freedom, rewards usually come from being loyal, dutiful, and emotionally responsible.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Scorpio, adds to your inner strength. Your direct approach and common sense indicate that you are a good strategist with an ability to communicate your ideas. As you are creative and idealistic, with a fine mind, self-expression is of prime importance. If you become preoccupied with self-fulfillment, however, you may let anxiety hamper your great potential and you may descend into inertia or laziness.
Your Secret Self
Beneath your easygoing exterior, you are ambitious and hardworking. When motivated or dedicated to a goal or purpose, you can be resolute in achieving your aims.

As well as being quick to see opportunities, you can also be a good organizer once determined.
