This implies that you can easily go from being light-hearted, generous, and spontaneous one moment to critical and serious the next.

Others generally admire those born on this day for their dynamism, fixity of purpose, prodigious energy and impressive practical skills, but the respect that they generate is of the awed, somewhat intimi- dated, variety rather than born of affection. For such is their strength of will, self-belief and uncompromising determination to achieve their aims that their tenac- ity can often take the form of ruthlessness. In many respects it is the organizational aspects of a task that interest them most: they have an overriding urge to realize their progressive visions by implementing a soundly supportive framework of actions, compara- ble to the setting in motion of a smoothly running machine. They may be found making their mark in any professional field where their imaginative visions can be imbued with the potential to achieve tangible results: their inclinations and talents equip them for commercial or scientific ventures as well as for those artistic pursuits which require detailed background research and development.
Their interpersonal relationships are typically char- acterized by their urge to direct the activities of those around them. Yet they usually combine the intellectual clarity of vision which informs the majority of their actions, with a sensitivity toward the feelings of others. Thus, although they have a propensity to take charge, they will rarely ride roughshod over others in their quest to achieve progress, possibly also instinctively recognizing that they will achieve more by enlisting the support of others. This pragmatic approach also stands them in good stead within their more intimate liaisons, particularly if they are men.
