Not all of these traits may pertain to you, but some usually do. If you look deep within yourself, you may find more truth than you would have thought possible.

The ultimate realist, you know full well there is no gain without hard work. You have a strong sense of duty and are quite willing to wait patiently to fulfill your ambitions. Like the goat, you will eventually climb to the top of that mountain even if it takes you a whole lifetime.

Hardworking, diligent, and determined, you need to have a purpose, for without a precise goal you are lost. You desire order and structure to make you feel complete and usually write out daily to-do lists. Security is important to you, and, influenced by your ruling planet, Saturn, you take a cautious and conservative approach to life. You show a great respect for authority and admire the wisdom of age and experience. However, you can aslo be stubborn, cold, or calculating, using Saturnine hardness for selfish purposes rather than for self-discipline, normally one of your better qualities.

The econoical, practical, and thrifty charac- teristics of your earthy element blend well with your desire for status and prestige, enabling you to rise to positions of power without wasting any effort. You are not frivalous or flighty; you take responsibility seriously and place home and family at the top of your priorities. Unfortunately, you can also be pessimistic, feeling you are never good enough, and must guard against depression. When you doubt yourself and your abilities youmay give up without even trying, but when given the security of a firm foundation you can be relentless in your drive for success. More than anything else, you need to develop an optimistic and positive outlook.

Remember that beneath your slightly shy and reserved exterior is a wonderfully dry sense of humor and a tenacity that comes from inner discipline. When others need assistance, they know they can always count on you to be reliable and solid.
