СКАЧАТЬ searing honesty and fresh viewpoint which shocks people out of stagnant ways of working. And despite the insults and threats that you may provoke, you do not go away. You have tremendous willpower and are thick-skinned enough to see your personal aim through to its completion. You respect the law and learn to work within its boundaries, but just by a hair’s-breadth, because you have to push the system to its absolute limit to make enough room for your individuality to express itself – and leave its stamp for posterity.

      You say matter-of-factly what you intend to do, then you do it. You may be fairly low-key, not obviously a colourful Aries, but you are all the more determined for the close focus of your attention. There is something of the working-class hero about you, droll, down-to-earth and unaffected, with a scathing wit and a controlled cheekiness. You often use humour and sarcasm to get your point across.

      You go for sound, solid ideals, and rarely waver from your path once you have seen the way ahead. You always assume you are right until proved wrong, and it takes quite an audacious opponent to stand up to you. Although you are naturally arrogant and impatient, you are nonetheless devoted to truth and respect personal courage in anyone, and you will immediately climb down to acknowledge the soul who is strong enough and wise enough to teach you a new lesson.

      Although you want to win (and usually do), your self-respect and personal integrity is more important to you than anything. This goes for personal relationships, too: they tend to play second fiddle to your career ambitions and to those personal challenges that are such powerful grist to your mill.

      Relationships

      Your approach to love probably has as much practical common sense about it as your approach to work. In your bold enthusiasm to drive home a point you can seem somewhat abrasive to a partner who just wants a cuddle.

      You are basically very self-controlled, and constantly push for more control of your outer world. Because of this, you may frequently mistake confrontation for relating, and loved ones may easily feel bruised and learn to avoid confrontation with you. Nevertheless, you are honest and open and ready to learn what you have to in order to be a success, be it in love or in career. You have certainly got what it takes to succeed, but you need to take care that your passion for winning and for economy of effort does not compromise the quality of your personal life. Do not forget to smell the roses along the way to success. Otherwise, it can be pretty lonely at the top.

      Your Greatest Strengths

      The sheer magnetic force of your personality; a quick and pragmatic mind which sizes up situations accurately and astutely; the powerful mixture of risk-taking and caution in your approach to problem-solving; natural leadership abilities; the total involvement and courageous commitment you bring to each moment of life.

      Your Greatest Weaknesses

      The sheer magnetic force of your personality which can overwhelm weaker souls; a propensity to charge ahead with your instinct to conquer in inappropriate situations; a too blunt, businesslike manner in personal relationships; a lop-sided and overpowering need for control and to be recognized as ‘tops’.

MOON AQUARIUS

       I shall marry in haste and repent at leisure.

      JAMES BRANCH CABELL

       To be free is to have achieved your life.

      Themes

      FIRE/AIR Selfish yet altruistic; full of bright ideas; friendly; congenial; extrovert; enthusiastic; incisive; sharp; analytical; sociable; progressive; revolutionary; social activist; dramatic; exceptionally individual.

      You are where it is at, and beyond that too. But are you a self-obsessed revolutionary or a social prophet? Are you a passionate progressive or a detached onlooker? Or have you discovered how to combine both through a vocation which meets your need for constant challenge?

      You may appear to be self-centred but, just when everyone thinks you are in it only for yourself, you reveal your capacity for true friendship and interest in the needs of others. You can be very civilized and very selfish. You want to make your mark upon the world but you do not want to scar it in the process, though it may not believe you at first. When firing on all cylinders, and not just spouting hot air, you are original and inventive; a natural pioneer, entrepreneur and leader of progressive causes; a great improver, able to see the big picture and inspire others with a large and distinctly different vision of things. You will take an active interest in anything that appeals to your maverick, heretic and non-conformist approach to life. New schemes and ideas may be more exciting to you than the prospect of finishing what you have already started, for orderly routine is a living death for you. Being self-employed and doing your own thing attracts you, yet you also have a strong social sense and can work well with others, provided you are in charge. You rightly have a high opinion of your own genius, and in order to be happy you need to be working and playing in areas where you feel free to take the initiative and pursue your observations and insights.

      With your razor-sharp mind, you enjoy an intellectual challenge, and have an ability to look at things from a different perspective. You delight in being controversial and poking fun at the status quo. You see yourself as a go-ahead mould-breaker, an anarchist even. Be it in politics, film, fashion or the very way in which you express yourself, you are drawn to the non-conformist, original and maverick, and are never happier than when out on limb arguing for a viewpoint that others do not yet share. In this you can combine courage and imagination, for you are a natural campaigner who can pursue what you believe in with a burning conviction.

      Friendships and social contacts are very important to you, and here as in so much of your life you can oscillate between self-interest and social concern. One moment you are being an elitist social climber, using your natural charisma and powers of persuasion to chat up the in-crowd with a cynical eye to the main chance; the next you are giving your time and energy to help the socially deprived and under-privileged. This dichotomy may play havoc with your philosophical and political affiliations as you veer from radical liberalism to complete free-enterprise. If you can allow room for both you will probably end up embracing an enlightened self-interest and make friends right across the fascinating spectrum of human viewpoints.
