Lead
Serious, disciplined, and quietly ambitious, you are driven
to
prove yourself and to achieve material accomplishments and
success.
Your work, your position in the world, and your
contributions
to society are very important to you. You will
persevere
through enormous hardship and frustration in order to
reach
a goal you have set for yourself, and you often sacrifice
much
in the area of personal relationships and home life in order
to
do so.
You have a thoughtful, quiet, and self-contained disposition
and
do not readily show your inner feelings and needs. You seem
to
be always in control, capable, efficient, and strong. You are
often
the person in the family or group who is given more
responsibility
(and more work) than the others. You are highly
conscientious
and even as a child you possessed a maturity,
soberness,
and worldly wisdom that was most unchildlike.
You are basically a pragmatic realist, and though you may
have
all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, you feel
that
the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness.
You
have an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a
bit
of the cynic in you as well.
You are clear-headed, detached and objective, and are not
swayed
by emotional dramatics. Often you are authoritarian -
strictly
fair, but without mercy. You have a great respect for
tradition
and even if you do not agree with certain laws, you
will
abide by them or work to change them, but never flagrantly
disregard
them. Careful and conservative, you play by the rules.
You are subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to know
intimately,
and never superficial. You are a modest person and
sometimes
overly self-critical. Giving yourself (and others)
permission
to feel, to play, to be spontaneous and silly, and to
be
weak and vulnerable sometimes, isn't easy for you.
Your strong points are your depth and thoroughness, patience,
tenacity,
and faithfulness. Your faults are a tendency to be
rigid
and inflexible, and too serious.
Your Sign's
Ruling Planet
Saturn - A
Manifestation Planet
Make way
for Saturn. This is the planet which represents
discipline
and restriction. In other words, everything Jupiter isn't.
Saturn
doesn't fool around with big talk and castles in the air. Saturn's
energy
brings the focus and endurance necessary to turn ideas into
reality.
Saturn is more like a rock; solid to the core.
Saturn
is cautious and patient.
Saturn
demands a kind of perfection, because it knows that
impulsive
actions lead to mistakes that are more costly in the long run.
Saturn
is not patient with waste and inefficiency either. Saturn can be a
real
taskmaster. Not unlike the strict, demanding teacher who may not
engender
affection from his students, but instead chooses to mold
the
concert pianist, the world-renowned artist and the ballet soloist.
Saturn
is all about lessons, trials and tests. Saturn can make you feel
very
inadequate while you're learning those lessons, too.
This
is why no matter how inadequate you may feel about the
department
of life that Saturn influences, you will eventually end up
with
a kind of solid confidence and the kind of wisdom that no one
can
take from you because you've graduated from the School of Hard Knocks.
Saturn
is about solid accomplishment and it couldn't care less about
whether
you're having a good time or not while you're getting there.
Saturn
also represents serious feelings of responsibility and a strong
sense
of duty. "Don't give up" is Saturn's motto. Saturn's reward comes
with time and
dedication. It will not hand you a phony diploma.
You
must earn the real thing.
