Zodiac Signs
Latest Update: 2026-04-24
I personally enjoy the way that April Elliott Kent, in Practical Astrology, describes the planets, signs, houses, and aspects of astrology by looking at them through the metaphor of a play. By looking at astrology from this perspective, the signs represent the characters’ costumes and personalities (Kent, 2023, p. 4-5).
That is what I’ll focus on below.
Aries
Fast Facts
Keywords: Assertive, decisive, urgent, forthright, confident, courageous, impulsive, impatient, selfish, impetuous, childlike, fast and furious
Triplicity (Element): Fire
Quadruplicity (Modality): Cardinal
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Dry
Traditional Ruler: Mars
Parts of the Body: Head, face, and adrenal glands
Since Aries is the first Fire sign of the year, and a Cardinal sign that starts off the season, it needs that initial friction and charge to get the fire started. “Aries symbolizes the very first spark of creation” (Gillett, 2012, p. 61). However, it’s a fire that can’t be contained or sustained for very long, since Aries is ruled by Mars, which is a very fiery, acute, and often aggressive planet, but also fast-paced.
As opposed to Leo, whose fire burns longer, and Sagittarius, whose fire can burn everywhere all at once, Aries' fire is the initial spark; it’s fast, urgent, and spontaneous.
“As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is strong and vital, reflecting the vigour of its totem animal, the ram. Positive cardinal fire is extravert, initiatory, and ardent, focusing its energies to get things going. Aries needs action.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 32).
Aries is a sign that acts before it thinks. It strikes before the opportunity passes. There’s an inherent instinctive quality to Aries (and all the Fire signs) to act whenever they see an opportunity. They don’t have to think or analyse the situation before taking action; they just act.
Aries is also an independent sign that likes to do things on their own at their own pace, which is impulsive and fast. “Aries people learn to cultivate the independence and courage that allow them to thrive on insecurity, and on the thrilling terror of new experiences. Consequently, Aries natives are fiercely independent, courageous leaders, and alive with pioneer spirit.” (Kent, 2023, p. 48).
Those with the Sun here are leaders. These folks have a life purpose that’s about pioneering and breaking new ground. With other planets in Aries, these planets “will act spontaneously, with daring - you like to take the initiative in whatever aspects of your life these planets represent.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 32).
Strengths: Adventurous, energetic, pioneering, courageous, enthusiastic, confident, dynamic, quick-witted, assertive, determined, a pioneering spirit
Challenges: Selfish, quick-tempered and aggressive, brutal, impulsive, hard-headed, impatient, unreliable, foolhardy, a daredevil
Taurus
Fast Facts
Keywords: Possessive, permanent, patient, reliable, warm-hearted, determined, jealous, possessive, inflexible, slow and steady, realistic
Triplicity (Element): Earth
Quadruplicity (Modality): Fixed
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Dry
Traditional Ruler: Venus
Parts of the Body: Neck, throat, vocal cords, and thyroid gland
Taurus takes their time. It’s associated with qualities like reliability, sustainability, slow and steady building, and endurance. Taurus doesn’t like change, as they appreciate comfort more. “Taureans are attuned to physical reality and the rhythms of nature and the body.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 34). When they’ve uncovered something they like or enjoy (like certain foods, creative modalities, etc.), they come back to that again and again. “Food, shelter, and clothing are Taurus’s main concern, as well as physical health and fully functioning senses with which to enjoy it all.” (Kent, 2023, p. 60).
Taurus is a great sign to create things in the real world, to create something tangible. “Taurus epitomizes the rich beauty, fullness and strength of the material world. [...] In Taurus we stop, take stock, consolidate and create something of real and lasting beauty.” (Gillett, 2012, p. 67).
Taurus also has the quality of elevating their taste and admiring things that are of value and quality to them. It’s also a sensory sign that likes and is attracted to sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch.
Taurus is also a very loyal and enduring sign.
Strong placements here, especially the Sun, give these folks a life purpose to build something valuable that will last. This will “allow you to develop gifts of persistence and resilience.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 34). With other strong planets in this sign, the planets “are both grounded and sensuous in their expression, channeled through the physical body.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 34). Strong Taurus placements can also indicate great artists who keep refining their own craft over a long period of time.
Strengths: Patient, reliable, stable, warm-hearted, loving, persistent, determined, placid, sensible, security-loving, sensuous, practical, relaxed
Challenges: Jealous, possessive, resentful, inflexible, stubborn, self-indulgent, greedy, close-minded, slow, bigoted, resistant to change
Gemini
Fast Facts
Keywords: Adaptable, versatile, communicative, intelligent, witty, nervy, restless, tense, superficial, social butterfly
Triplicity (Element): Air
Quadruplicity (Modality): Mutable
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Moist
Traditional Ruler: Mercury
Parts of the Body: Arms, hands, shoulders, lungs, and nervous system
Gemini is depicted by the twins, so there is an inherent split to this sign. “Gemini is concerned with duality and movement between opposing sides, providing a bridge between the two.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 36).
It’s also the sign of communication, as its ruler is Mercury. “Gemini rules communication—the skills of encoding and decoding messages, of understanding our world and making ourselves understood.” (Kent, 2023, p. 72).
Communication paired with the inherent duality of Gemini, the sign is associated with a back-and-forth style of communication, whether internal, external, or both. And since Gemini is Mutable Air, it can go everywhere all at once when it comes to communication. Gemini “is sociable and outgoing, light and playful, but easily bored and needing variety and stimulation for a curious, agile mind.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 36).
Because of Gemini’s duplicity (being split into two; the twins), and the desire to do everything all at once, it can manifest in working on several projects at once or having several jobs or careers at the same time, etc. “Gemini’s flexible intelligence is naturally inclined to say yes. The excited spontaneity of the sign can make almost anything seem possible.” (Gillett, 2012, p. 73). There’s an inherent desire to have multiplicity, but it would also be wise to narrow down the priorities to keep focus on the things that matter.
Since Gemini’s ruler is Mercury, and Mercury has a trickster energy to it in terms of its speed and stationing retrograde approximately every three months (and lasting for three weeks), Gemini also has some of that forward-backward, fast-slow, mutable, and dual quality to it.
Strong planetary placements here, especially the Sun, will give a Gemini the life purpose of finding the “twin”. “Every Gemini has light and dark sides and it is your task to recognize both characters within yourself.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 36). With other planets in Gemini, they “tend to adapt themselves easily to new environments and situations. Here you will need to express yourself with lightness and variety.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 36).
Strengths: Adaptable, versatile, communicative, quick-witted, intellectual, curious and inquisitive, eloquent, useful, lively, social butterfly, inventive, clever
Challenges: Nervy, tense, restless, superficial, inconsistent, cunning, verbally cruel, deceptive, disloyal, preoccupied, doesn’t follow through
Cancer
Fast Facts
Keywords: Protective, sensitive, moody, loving, intuitive, touchy, unable to let go, careful
Triplicity (Element): Water
Quadruplicity (Modality): Cardinal
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Moist
Traditional Ruler: The Moon
Parts of the Body: Chest, breasts, and stomach
Cancer is a sensitive sign. “As its animal symbol suggests, a hard shell protects a vulnerable interior.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 38). Due to this, the sign of Cancer has an internal need to protect the self and the family (who is also important to Cancerians) from outside threats. If challenged in an argument, you will find a remarkable self-defense system spring into action. This may also show up as lashing out when they feel threatened or are put under stress. This is a defense mechanism when they are in a state of worry or anxiety.
Cancer is also associated with a strong and vivid imagination. However, when unchecked, anxious emotions are combined with the imagination, it can result in a deep, continual worry and anxiety, especially when loved ones are concerned. Worry is a common trait of Cancer.
Since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, this sign has an inherent reflective depth that makes these folks deeply empathic and understanding. Due to their connection with the Moon, there is also a natural nurturing ability about these folks.
Every year, when the Sun moves through Cancer, it calls for a moment of reflection. “Who we are is a construction of the family, culture, and moment in history into which we’re born. But there’s also a core element that makes you uniquely you. It’s the job of Cancer to locate that inner compass point.” (Kent, 2023, p. 84).
Cancerians have a need for security and the familiar. They “would rather be at home (or at least surrounded by loved ones) than visit the most exotic locations on earth. Familiar objects, food, and landmarks comfort you and make you feel safe.” (Kent, 2023, p. 84).
With strong planetary placements here, especially the Sun, these folks’ life purpose “is to find your tribe and to develop a central role as the caregiver with it, your life revolving around some form of family (whether personal or professional)” (Taylor, 2018, p. 38). With other planets here, they “will show a self-protective quality, acting according to moods and feelings. Intuition and emotion are the ruling forces” (Taylor, 2018, p. 38).
Strengths: Emotional, loving, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective, family-oriented, nurturing, domestic, maternal, sympathetic
Challenges: Changeable, moody, overemotional, touchy, oversensitive, clingy, unable to let go, negative, manipulative, overly cautious, insecure, anxious
Leo
Fast Facts
Keywords: Generous, warm-hearted, creative, enthusiastic, impressive, powerful, moody, proud, pompous, patronizing, bossy
Triplicity (Element): Fire
Quadruplicity (Modality): Fixed
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Dry
Traditional Ruler: The Sun
Parts of the Body: Heart, spine, back, and sensory nerves
Leos have a powerful creative urge. Often, that positions them as leaders. Leo is also ruled by the Sun. Since the Sun is the center of our solar system, Leos are often at the center of attention. Everything else revolves around them, for better and worse. There is an inherent need to be seen in Leos, again, for better and worse. When they are broad-minded and generous, it’s for the best, while if they become too egocentric, it’s for the worst.
Just like the Sun gives us warmth here on Earth, Leos can also be radiant and warm-hearted. They can be generous with their time and energy, and their enthusiastic nature can easily be transferred to others and motivate them.
When these folks set their sights on a goal, “you pursue it steadily, even doggedly, until you’ve reached it. Leo’s constancy and organizational savvy regularly take the uninitiated by surprise. Beneath Leo’s surface razzle-dazzle is, in fact, a steady friend in need, a loyal employee, and a devoted partner.” (Kent, 2023, p. 52).
With strong planetary positions here, especially the Sun, the life purpose of Leos “is to develop your creative brilliance and take center stage or lead the pack. You attract allegiance in return for your inspiration, support, and strength.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 40). With other planets here, they “will act with courage, pride, and a sense of showmanship. These planets radiate star quality, attracting praise from others.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 40).
Strengths: Generous, warm-hearted, creative, enthusiastic, broad-minded, expansive, faithful and loyal, loving, regal, magnetic, inspiring, a performer
Challenges: Pompous, patronizing, bossy, egotistic, interfering, dogmatic, intolerant, overdramatic, vain, domineering, insecure, attention-seeking
Virgo
Fast Facts
Keywords: Modest, shy, meticulous, reliable, a warrior, over-critical, precise, detail-oriented
Triplicity (Element): Earth
Quadruplicity (Modality): Mutable
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Dry
Traditional Ruler: Mercury
Parts of the Body: Digestive system, spleen, joints, and nervous system
Virgo is always willing to help. They are humble and down to earth. Since Virgo is ruled by Mercury, these folks have a knack for focusing on details, analyzing them, managing and categorizing the information, and putting it to use.
On the other hand, “Virgo’s powers of discrimination and knack for analysis have earned it a reputation for being critical and impossible to please” (Kent, 2023, p. 63). However, since Virgo rules the harvest season, Virgoans need to harvest so that the rest of the world can get fed. That is a heavy responsibility to bear, but the Virgo handles it with their meticulous and diligent skills, and uses their analytical abilities to make sure the harvest is being used in a good way and handed off to Libra, who can distribute it fairly.
Virgos bring “order and efficient functioning. Negative mutable earth suggests an ability to do what is necessary without fanfare” (Taylor, 2018, p. 42). However, I would suggest you actually thank your near and dear Virgos for everything they do, not only to avoid the passive-aggressive washing of your clothes or unloading of the dishwasher (since you can’t seem to take care of your own shit, lol) but also because of everything they do in the background that makes your life run smoothly.
When important planetary placements are in Virgo, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to hone your chosen craft. You feel happiest being useful as part of a team or taking a constructive role in the world” (Taylor, 2018, p. 42). When there are other planets in this sign, they “will act with discrimination. This sign is not given to drama or show, but focuses on useful efficiency and the development of practical skills.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 42), since honing a skill or craft is central to Virgo as well.
Strengths: Modest, meticulous, reliable, practical, diligent, intelligent, analytical, discriminating, thorough, scientific
Challenges: Fussy, picky, overcritical, harsh, a perfectionist, conservative, self-centered, a hypochondriac, gloomy, pedantic
Libra
Fast Facts
Keywords: Diplomatic, romantic, charming, harmonious, adaptive, indecisive, changeable, self-indulgent
Triplicity (Element): Air
Quadruplicity (Modality): Cardinal
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Moist
Traditional Ruler: Venus
Parts of the Body: Kidneys
The scales are Libra’s symbol, representing the sign’s “function of creating peaceful equilibrium and perfect balance.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 47). In ancient Egypt, Anubis used the scales to weigh the souls of the dead against a feather of truth to determine their afterlife fate. As Libra is the sign before Scorpio, which is a sign that has come to be associated with death and rebirth, the scales are fitting (Kent, 2023, p. 75). While Libra is fair and diplomatic, the sign also has an indecisive quality. Trying to see things from all perspectives or all sides of the story, to be as fair as possible, can lead to stagnation.
Because of their inherent sociable nature, Librans have a hard time dealing with loneliness, more so than any other sign. They need functioning relationships in their lives, especially if they have a tendency to be lazy and indecisive. The presence of a partner can motivate Librans to be more action-oriented and decisive.
Since Libra is ruled by Venus, this sign has a strong association with everything beautiful––in particular, any kind of art. Strong placements here can indicate artists, musicians, designers, and others who create beauty in the world.
When strong planetary placements are in Libra, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to personify and promote the art of civilized living. You find inner balance through developing poise and grace within yourself” (Taylor, 2018, p. 46). When there are other planets in this sign, they “will express themselves with polite refinement, seeking to create an atmosphere of harmony and acting with consideration for others.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 46).
Strengths: Diplomatic, romantic, charming, easy-going, sociable, idealistic, just, peace-loving, harmonious, considerate, honest, artistic
Challenges: Indecisive, changeable, gullible, easily influenced, self-indulgent, complacent, inactive, fickle, over accommodating, argumentative, insincere
Scorpio
Fast Facts
Keywords: Determined, forceful, passionate, intense, jealous, vindictive, fearless
Triplicity (Element): Water
Quadruplicity (Modality): Fixed
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Moist
Traditional Ruler: Mars
Modern Ruler: Pluto
Parts of the Body: Reproductive organs, sexual organs, excretory system
In traditional astrology, Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the planet of conflict, aggression, and war. Unsurprisingly, then, Scorpios can have some edges to them, even though they’re not always visible or apparent. Additionally, just as a scorpion has a quick tail and sharp sting, the Scorpio can strike back when you least expect it.
With their modern ruler, Pluto, the planet named after the god of the underworld, death has also become connected to Scorpio. And while death might be a difficult and uncomfortable topic to talk about, “Scorpio understands that life and death are two sides of the same coin, as incomplete without one another as day is incomplete without night. […] Of all the signs, Scorpio grasps that without the knowledge of death, life loses its urgency and its value.” (Kent, 2023, p. 87). Because of this, and because Scorpio is associated with other taboo topics––like sexuality, obsession, and the occult, to name a few––Scorpio has a reputation for diving deeper into the dark, perhaps forbidden, experiences and parts of life. Scorpios often feel comfortable in experiences that most others would avoid.
In other words: “This is a complex and intense sign, concerned with processes of transformation. Negative fixed water is inward-moving and conjures the image of ‘still waters running deep’” (Taylor, 2018, p. 48).
When strong planetary placements are in Scorpio, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to develop resilience. There is often a story of survival against the odds, and your ‘solar gold’ is the inner fortitude this brings” (Taylor, 2018, p. 48). When there are other planets in this sign, they “will act with passion, intensity, and stoic courage, capable of going into the fire and being reborn in purer and stronger form.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 48).
Strengths: Determined, forceful, emotional, intuitive, powerful, passionate, exciting, magnetic, perceptive, brave and fearless, probing, investigative, insightful, empathetic
Challenges: Jealous, resentful, compulsive, obsessive, secretive, obstinate, vindictive, suspicious, sarcastic, manipulative
Sagittarius
Fast Facts
Keywords: Optimistic, freedom-loving, philosophical, adventurous, good-humored, careless, irresponsible, visionary, impatient
Triplicity (Element): Fire
Quadruplicity (Modality): Mutable
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Dry
Traditional Ruler: Jupiter
Parts of the Body: Hips, thighs, and liver
Sagittarius, like other fire signs, has an initiating energy. While challenge is an important factor in the life of a Sagittarius, at least for it to feel like a fulfilling life, they begin to work on the next thing as soon as the previous thing is achieved or accomplished.
Like Gemini, Sagittarius is also a dual sign. Half human and half horse, Sagittarius tends to move quickly. The centaur form of Sagittarius also suggests a love for both the earthly experiences of wild nature and the more air-like qualities of contemplation and philosophy. Their philosophical nature can also be connected to their desire for a deeper understanding. “Sagittarius seeks not just the truth […] but also an understanding of the truth. Sagittarius naturally looks for meaning—pictures in clouds and in Rorschach tests, a philosophy of life in sacred texts and the earth’s natural order.” (Kent, 2023, p. 55).
The image of the centaur, especially the half-horse side, connotes the Sagittarian need for adventure and long-distance travel, as wild horses graze large areas and travel long distances daily. Sagittarius “is the sign of the traveler and the gypsy, for whom the whole wild world is home. Positive mutable fire is sociable and restless, needing movement and a broad canvas.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 50).
When strong planetary placements are in Sagittarius, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to explore, discover, and set yourself free on adventures.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 50). When there are other planets in this sign, they “will radiate fiery confidence, taking a long-range approach and needing breadth and freedom. Any form of confinement would be counterproductive.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 50).
Strengths: Optimistic, freedom-loving, adventurous, active, jovial, good-humored, honest, straightforward, intellectual, philosophical, scholarly, funny, a traveler and explorer
Challenges: Blindly optimistic, careless, irresponsible, superficial, tackles, restless, crude, blunt, arrogant, know-it-all, superior, intolerant, impatient
Capricorn
Fast Facts
Keywords: Practical, useful, responsible, prudent, ambitious, disciplined, pessimistic, over-conventional, rigid, controlling
Triplicity (Element): Earth
Quadruplicity (Modality): Cardinal
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Dry
Traditional Ruler: Saturn
Parts of the Body: Knees, teeth, bones, joints, and skin
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which makes building something that will be solid and long-lasting an important goal in their life. Therefore, there is a great potential for success when you have strong planetary placements in Capricorn, though it may take quite some time to get there.
“Born when the midday Sun is at its lowest declination, Capricorn has a powerful urge to attain higher status. […] But achieving status is only part of what Capricorn is about. Capricorn is considered the paternal sign; her most noble path is to use its natural leadership ability and the authority she’s earned to shepherd others along a constructive path. Capricorn was born to be a role model.” (Kent, 2023, p. 68).
On the other hand, there is also a rigidity, inflexibility, and a serious quality about them that may choose to take a more arduous path towards the destination or solution because that’s the path they’ve always taken, when a simpler and less taxing path could’ve sufficed.
When strong planetary placements are in Capricorn, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to develop self-reliance, taking on responsibility for both self and others. The path may feel lonely at times, but you always keep your eye on the goal.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 52). When there are other planets in this sign, they “will act with mature dignity, aware of tradition and what might be socially acceptable. You develop these gifts slowly over time.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 52).
Strengths: Practical, prudent, ambitious, disciplined, patient, careful, humorous, reserved, authoritative, traditional, pragmatic, hard-working, serious, mature, ethical
Challenges: Pessimistic, fatalistic, grudging, over-conventional, rigid, domineering, stubborn, unfeeling, judgmental, unforgiving
Aquarius
Fast Facts
Keywords: Friendly, humanitarian, honest, original, contrary, unpredictable, independent
Triplicity (Element): Air
Quadruplicity (Modality): Fixed
Polarity: Diurnal, Positive, Yang
Quality: Hot and Moist
Traditional Ruler: Saturn
Modern Ruler: Uranus
Parts of the Body: Shins, calves, and ankles
Being a sign that is ruled by two planets, Saturn (the traditional ruler) and Uranus (the modern ruler), it seems to make Aquarius a natural rule breaker. There is an acknowledgment of the rules (Saturn), but also a rebellious desire to break them (Uranus).
Interestingly, both Aquarius and Uranus are quite humanitarian as Aquarius tend to thrive in communities, while Uranus is the rebellious planet that wants to fight for minorities and the non-normative.
“Highly independent, Aquarius is also paradoxically a very sociable sign. Positive fixed air is outgoing, encouraging involvement in groups and the exchange of ideas. Aquarians often have strong social awareness and a humanitarian vision of a more ideal future along with the determination to bring this about.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 54).
When the Sun is in Aquarius, “your life purpose is to find your place within the group whilst at the same time asserting your own unique vision. An ideal of social equality may form an important foundation.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 54). When there are other planets in this sign, they “usually march to the beat of their own drum. Planets here tend to show a cool detachment in their expression.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 54).
Strengths: Friendly, humanitarian, honest, loyal, original, inventive, independent, intellectual, genius, rebellious, logical, scientific, progressive, humane
Challenges: Contrary, perverse, unpredictable, unemotional, detached, eccentric, temperamental, cold, opinionated, radical
Pisces
Fast Facts
Keywords: Imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, selfless, escapist, idealistic, secretive, deceitful
Triplicity (Element): Water
Quadruplicity (Modality): Mutable
Polarity: Nocturnal, Negative, Yin
Quality: Cold and Moist
Traditional Ruler: Jupiter
Modern Ruler: Neptune
Parts of the Body: Feet
The sign with the two fish swimming in opposite directions indicates a natural duality of wanting to merge with another, but also needing to escape. There’s an elusive quality here, too. You can’t really pin a Pisces down.
If out of balance, there can be a refusal to face reality for the Pisces. That’s when the toxic need for escape and to numb themselves can take over.
“As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces symbolizes endings, illness and recuperation, imprisonment, and spiritual enlightenment. However, Jupiter, the king of the gods, was considering the ruling planet of Pisces before the discovery of Neptune, and Pisces people—like the tender saplings that take root during their season—are rarely as delicate as they seem.” (Kent, 2023, p. 91).
The task of Pisces “is to find freedom from material limitations and connect with the intangible and the magical, the divine source of life. Negative mutable water suggests focus on an internal world flowing according to feeling.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 56).
When strong planetary placements are in Pisces, especially the Sun, “your life purpose is to offer service to a higher principle, a journey that may involve the sacrifice of personal desires. Developing artistic imagination is a key dimension of your life.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 56). When there are other planets in this sign, they “tend to be unfocused in their expression, moved by subtle feelings rather than practical considerations, and lacking in boundary.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 56).
Strengths: Imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive, sympathetic, musical, artistic
Challenges: Escapist, idealistic, secretive, vague, weak-willed, easily led, impractical, timid, a procrastinator
