They are aided in their quest by their acute perspicacity, their great physical and mental vigor, their formidable organizational talents and their stubborn refusal to be deflected from their course. And because they are sensitive and intuitive individuals, they may not only direct their energies toward bringing about humanitarian progress, but also in so doing manifest a remarkable facility for tuning in to the emotions of others; they are not above using this ability to manipulate other people in order to enlist their support.
Their independence of thought and action, as well as their interpersonal skills, mark April 28 individu- als out as potentially inspirational leaders in whatever field they choose to make their careers, especially if they nurture their creative potential and if they were also born in the Chinese year of the dragon.
