Proud and intensely individual, you really want to stand out,
to
be the very best you can be, and to be recognized and
appreciated
for your unique contributions. Doing something well
and
being respected for it is extremely important to you, and you
cannot
tolerate being in the background, taking orders from
others,
or being "just one of the team". You must put your
personal
stamp on whatever you do, and direct your own course in
life.
You need to have a place where you can shine, express
yourself
creatively, and be the one in charge.
You have big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality,
and
enthusiasm to bring them into being. You also have a noble,
romantic
heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and
extravagant.
For you
it is true that "all the world's a stage" and you
secretly
(or perhaps not so secretly) desire to be the Star or
Hero
in the play. You want to be great, and to receive the love
and
applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is
just
one other special person. You need someone to believe in you
and
your dreams. Though you appear radiantly self-confident and
independent,
you are actually very much dependent on the
affirmation,
love, and recognition of others. You cannot bear
being
unnoticed or unappreciated.
You also love wholeheartedly and generously and really know
how
to make the person you love feel special. You love the magic
of
"being in love" and know how to keep the romance alive in your
relationships.
You are also immensely loyal and will defend your
loved
ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never
offend
your pride or betray your trust. However, you like to be
the
strong one in a relationship and you really do not share the
leading
role very easily. Ideally you need to find a person who
is
as strong-willed as yourself, but who will not try to dominate
or
compete with you.
Your strengths are your zest and love for life, your creative
power,
and your warm and generous heart. Your primary fault is
your
tendency to be very egocentric, so concerned with the
impression
you are making and with your own creative self-
expression
that you forget there is another, larger world that
Your Sign's
Ruling Planet
The Sun - A Luminary
The Sun represents the
innermost self. When this area of life is
successfully
dealt with, the individual feels a sense of completeness
or
life satisfaction.
Since
the brightness of the Sun cannot be ignored, the area of life that
it
shines on will not be pushed under the rug, no matter how trying it
may
be. The Sun also represents the will of the individual. Too often,
because
of societal pressures and the influence of the upbringing,
an
individual may lose touch with their own will. When this happens,
the
life path can become derailed and the person may lack a strong
sense
of direction or life satisfaction. Children often come into the world
with
a strong sense of will and so the Sun also represents children.
Getting
back in touch with one's inner child and learning how to truly
honor
that small voice inside can bring profound changes into the life.
The
Sun may be described as the innermost flame that burns within
each
of us and can provide a kind of cosmic link to our true spiritual nature.
