СКАЧАТЬ and able to get on with most types. You should appreciate, though, that your combination of romantic passion and clinical detachment which can be disconcerting for you can be even more bewildering for your partner. For whilst you pursue the object of your desire with a sense of ardent adventure, your natural instinct is for personal friendship and intellectual companionship.

      Sex, likewise, is something that can both obsessively absorb you and yet be something to be dismissed lightly and humorously. Your infatuations turn into friendships, and your friendships into ardent desires. Though you may be unconsciously drawn to maternal types, you need someone who will keep you guessing as well as help ground you for a long-term partnership.

      Themes

      FIRE/WATER Romantic; moody; affectionate; restless; a worrier; enthusiastic but inwardly timid; hopeful; thoughtful; nervous but eager; non-conformist; artistic; stylish; inspirational; imaginative; expressive; temperamental.

      You are a bit like the BFG – the Big Friendly Giant – forceful but diffident, single-minded but dreamy, maverick and very much your own person but kind-hearted and needy of affection and consideration from others. You have plenty of initiative and strong personal motivations, and you seem to want to be out in the forefront of human activities. Underneath your impressive exterior, however, you are often quaking with doubt and timidity and wondering how you could have made such a challenge or said such an outrageous thing.

      One part of you is very independent, impulsive, eager for action and rooted in a sense of yourself as an opponent of social injustice. This part thrives on self-assertion, on making things happen and feeling at the helm of all the action-making. But another part of you shrinks from excessive exposure, risk, bright lights and noise, and prefers to slip away into the inner sanctuary of your own room, or mind, to brood and worry and often just to dream. This part of you abhors the brisk self-definition after which your other part strives. You know what you want, but do not feel right about insisting that you get it. You know what needs to be done and can rally the troops to join your crusade, but all of a sudden you can feel like a stranger in your own crowd – lost, misunderstood, convinced in self-pitying mood that no one could possibly understand the real you or your true intentions. Masculine assertion versus feminine receptivity; bold defiance versus the soft blurring of boundaries; self-interest or self-sacrifice; sticking your neck out or living it all out in fantasy – this is your dilemma.

      The needs of your Arien ego versus your Piscean instinct for self-immolation can create a conflict within you. This is perhaps best resolved in a career that brings you both personal recognition as well as a sense of being emotionally involved with people and life. You are an aspiring individual who wants a unique identity and, well, just a little bit of recognition, but you also need to feel connected in a broad impersonal way with the world in which you find yourself. In some ways you are a maverick, and in other ways you very much need the support of understanding colleagues and friends.

      Unusual ideas interest you, and you need a harmonious environment in which to develop your own self-expression. You feel happier when you get these ideas down on paper, canvas or photographic film – whatever the particular direction you take. When you find yourself feeling that life is too harsh and demanding, you can be sure that the gulf between the realist and the idealist within you is widening. It is time to withdraw, to get in touch with your own feelings and dreams and make sure that they are your own. Then you must work to master a medium of expression so that there is always a bridge of communication between the bold Arien and the elusive Piscean dreamer within you, between the daring child and the artistic visionary.

      At your very best, you combine the spirit of enterprise with the human touch of care and understanding. Together they make you a powerful force for good in the world.

      Relationships

      You are a very romantic person and you need intimacy, but you will find it difficult getting everything you need from one person. When it comes to emotions, you are easily influenced and have a tendency to go for the tragic love story at least once in your life, where you get involved with a person or people who let you down. The sense of emotional suffering you may be left with can either eat you up – if you allow it to – or it can fuel your heroism and creative inspiration.

      One minute you are all dreamy and ready to risk all for love, the next you are industriously engaged with your own personal goals and concerns, with no intentions at all of leaning on anyone. Whilst you are both passionate and caring, you may experience a conflict between running the show and giving in. Try not to martyr yourself by attracting the lame dogs to show how strong you can be: moderation in all things!

      Your Greatest Strengths

      Fertile imagination; off-beat but wonderfully original style and philosophy of life; vulnerability and openness to experience; commitment to the never-ending quest to find your real identity and to be true, intellectually and emotionally, to yourself.

      Your Greatest Weaknesses

      Tendency to worry too much, which can weaken your vitality; the power of your mood swings, which can undermine your relationships and darken your state of mind; emotional impressionability; tendency to drift into dreams rather than concentrating on the here and now.
