       There’s no reason to bring religion into it. I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can, so as to keep it out of as many things as possible.

      SEAN O’CASEY

       Habit is a great deadener.

      SAMUEL BECKETT

      Themes

      FIRE/FIRE Visionary; highly-strung; explorer; impatient; emphatic; talkative; confident; intense moral certainty; exuberant; optimistic; big-hearted; fun-loving; prone to exaggeration; outspoken; competitive; friendly; an adventurer.

      Your ability to radiate warmth, enjoyment of living and an effortless resilience to the ups and downs of existence makes you one of life’s irrepressible winners. Your intense vitality and independence is hard to keep up with, and loved ones will have to fasten their seat belts, expect the unexpected and enjoy an adventure in order to appreciate the whole of your BIG personality.

      You are dynamic, highly enthusiastic, fabulously gregarious, and your visionary qualities plus the sheer energy you generate make it easy for you to rally support around any number of exciting projects and pet causes. You are restless and require lots of movement and space – to you, life is one big journey, one large adventure that holds many exciting possibilities. Delightfully refreshing to meet, you cannot help but exude a joie de vivre and inner commitment to life which can inspire and motivate others to action. And this is never so true as when you are engaged in intellectual exchanges and arousing public interest in moral and social causes.

      Outspoken, intensely honourable and deeply intuitive, you are essentially more interested in the future and in making sure it will be exciting than in finding security in the humdrum routine of daily living. Your focus on large ideas could take you into law, religion or academia. It also takes you often into the realm of speculation and risk-taking; you ‘sense’ that a particular solution is right and will magically unlock the door to a brighter future, even though it appears flagrantly inappropriate to other, more practical souls. In other words, you often by-pass the logical, step-by-step thinking process of the left-brain because of your capacity to perceive instantly the essence of any given situation. Your hunches are more real to you than a set of mundane facts. To you, life must be a game well-played (even if not always won), a challenge to the imagination and a test of your deep, creative, innovative spirit.

      This intuitive approach to life can, however, create some instability for you and your household. Being true to your visions – doing what you want to do – takes priority over completing mundane tasks, and the result in your day-to-day life can sometimes be chaos. But even in failure, your honour is likely to stay intact for ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ is what you say; ‘it is the idea that counts’, and things will ‘all come right’ in the end. You are an incurable optimist, very noble and a touch arrogant as well. One of the most important things in your life is being able to express yourself freely and without inhibition, for honesty and fair dealing are virtues that are nearly gods to your inner life.

      Relationships

      Emotionally you are ardent, uncomplicated, warmly spontaneous and in love with the experience of falling in love. You give yourself wholeheartedly, but at the same time you can be pretty restless and impatient, eager to jump the fence if you feel stifled with someone.

      More aware of your own feelings and needs than those of others, you can get wrapped up in ideologies and hold forth about some ‘ism’ at inappropriate times (when all that your mate requires is a cup of tea). Practical duties weigh on your spirit, so you need to know that there is room for movement and new adventure in your relationship.

      Quite frequently you need to just drop everything and go camping, get on an airplane, go to a party or take up a new hobby. You have got to enjoy yourself! The great thing about you is that you can swing from the depths of philosophical sobriety to the heights of bawdy fun in the twinkling of an eye.

      Your Greatest Strengths

      Contagious optimism; entrepreneurial spirit; powerful influence on others. You need challenging, stimulating work where there is scope to let your intuition play with ideas. Just remember that generalities need details, inventions need practical working out, and that remaining in the realm of limitless possibilities will not get the job done.

      Your Greatest Weaknesses

      Grandiose philosophizing; moving around and never landing; insensitivity to human feelings; impatience with the limitations of the material world; total self-absorption to the extent that your capacity for relating remains childlike; and a tendency to let your daredevil side sabotage your material security.

      A child shoots an arrow towards the enchanted castle in the distance as he follows the road less travelled.

       When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away.

      A.E. HOUSMAN

       The great questions of our day cannot be solved by speeches and majority votes … but by iron and blood.

      OTTO VON BISMARCK

      Themes

      FIRE/EARTH Unstoppable; ambitious; tough-minded; domineering; enthusiastic and forceful manner; pragmatic intellect; droll sense of humour; sensible; ardent; persistent; aggressive; good organizer; a realist; the winner; the boss.

      You are a go-getting realist, a maverick traditionalist whose strident energy and ambition takes you into the struggle of life at an early age. It is not so much that your life is a struggle, but that you experience life as a series of challenges to be conquered, and you more than most need a challenge in order to feel alive.

      Something of a young up-start with an eye to the main chance, you are likely to be found in the establishment but often waging war against oppressive laws or traditions. You could also be a creative entrepreneur forging some new and exciting product or enterprise. Whatever you are involved with is likely to possess both originality and longevity, flair and endurance.

      Politics is a very natural habitat for you, and it is here that you can be a very persistent thorn in the flesh of the status СКАЧАТЬ
