Character
Traits
- Born leaders who are likely to rise to the top of whichever field they choose.
- Likely choices are politics, science, in particular botany and zoology, and distillery.
- They could even rise as high as being a king or queen - or the power behind the throne influencing a monarch.
- They will look down at the masses from great heights. This may be figuratively as a result of choosing a career in aviation, mountain climbing or high intellectual fields like cosmology.
- Their path to the top is smooth but not without its dangers. They need to beware of oversights and carelessness.
- Restless, always moving onwards and upwards. When they reach their goal, they will already be looking to the next one.
- This applies to romance, too - they don't want to be tied down and may well have a string of relationships with each new partner being younger and more beautiful than the last.
- Become frustrated if they don't get what they want.
- Good at classifying things.
- May have a cruel streak.
- Need to beware of accidents involving fire.
