Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. -Percy Bysshe Shelley

Then I thought of the whole world. Who cares for its travail and seeks to encompass it in lovingkindness and peace? -Hugh Macdiamid

Themes

FIRE/WATER
Modest yet proud; great integrity; compassionate and concerned; poetic imagination; one who can feel poetry and understand philosophy; eccentric; warm friendliness; highly emotional; strongly devotional and idealistic; enthusiastic; extravagant; creative inner world.

Do you love the warmth of the social and artistic limelight, and yet often shun it because you sense it is fickle and will ultimately hurt you? Are you a stunning show-off or a modest help-mate? A lion or a lamb? A plutocrat or a pleb?

You have star quality but privately prefer to be a wallflower. You have a strong need for excellence and social approval, yet you honor your own private, individual values more -- and perhaps even come to expect there to be a conflict between your moral integrity and the demands of your audience.

Very impressionable and easily moved by suffering, you are a mixture of self-assured certainty and oversensitive, confused uncertainty. Sometimes self-denying and withdrawn, other times autocratic and willful, you have a great longing to belong as well as a strong need to be actively useful, When you can combine these two sides, you are one of the most poetic and creative of all combinations with a spontaneous and childlike delight in the world, an immense sense of fun and a capacity to translate experience into words and colorful images.

You can sometimes feel torn between your desire for plenty of peace and privacy, and your need for worldly success and the affection and approval of people you love and respect. You have an essentially artistic temperament and need to learn how to be your own best friend -- how to look after your own best interests -- as you are so easily drawn toward looking after others.

Whether or not you are overtly religious, there is a strongly reflective and devotional side to your nature. You may even feel that it is nothing less than every human being's duty to realize his or her immense spiritual potential. At the same time, you never lose your compassion for people and their problems and failures. You know yourself how you go through times of striving and then retreat, successful self-expression and then, perhaps, a refusal to play the game if the cot to your integrity is too high. You can be severely shaken by the ways of the world, and yet it would be unhealthy for you to relinquish your active role altogether.

Full of ardor and deep feeling for life, you are the lion-hearted mystic, the gentle king, the gullible sweetheart who would not harm a fly, the flamboyant, fiercely loyal friend who will share others' sorrows and successes with equal intensity. You are courageous in the face of difficulties, ever true to your word through thick and thin, and dignified and hopeful even when pain absorbs you utterly as it is wont to do quite often.

Changes of mood are your way of life, and if you can make them fodder for your creative imagination, they will serve you well. As a writer, a poet, an actor or any kind of artist, you can indulge in your feelings dramatically, and readily transpose your inner life out into the world.

Relationships

Compassionate love is central to your way of being. Intensely charismatic and emotionally available, you literally pour your heart and soul into your personal interests, your career, and your relationships.

At heart you are a total romantic and also a dreamer, and you may give your all to someone who turns out to be not what you think. Your desire both to dominate and be dominated can make for some tension. You may also find the more humdrum aspects of human relationships a bit of a treadmill, and if you do, you can withdraw into your own world or wander off to greener pastures.

You can never feign what you really feel, and that can cause you some anguish as you hate the idea of hurting anyone. As well as needing lots of affection, you also need to be understood, but this is unlikely to happen. Once you accept this, your emotional life will be more satisfying.

Your Greatest Strengths

Rich, artistic imagination; theatrical sense of both the beauty and tragedy of life; emotional sensitivity and generous, caring qualities; commitment to your individual ideals and morals; openness to life, whatever it may bring.

Your Greatest Weaknesses

Subjectivity; moodiness; proneness to dejection; tendency to over-dramatize your life with you playing the victim; a kind of divine discontent in romantic affairs which keeps you emotionally unsettled, wondering if you will ever be really happy.

Themes

EARTH/WATER
Imagination and realism; creative; musical; poetic; easy-going yet determined; responsive yet reserved; the practical dreamer; caring sensitivity; love of beauty; the nature mystic; resourceful.

Are you a feet-on-the-ground steady achiever or are you constantly being swept away on the wings of poetic imagination? Are you the policeman or the poet, the songwriter or the estate agent, the banker or the mystic, the capitalist or the socialist?

Your idealistic instincts give you a compassionate concern for the needs of others, but your commonsense head tells you that you must look after yourself and ensure your own stability. At heart you are a dreamer, but in practice you are indeed practical and know you must earn what your imagination spends with such ease.

Ideally, and you are at heart an idealist, you need to be involved in work that both gives you security yet enables you to follow your inner vision. You can drift and dream, but when put up against it you have an enviable ability to bring in the cash. Money is never likely to stick to you for long, however, for you know that it is only a means to an end, and you always have new ends and visions you feel inspired to pursue. When you get these two sides of yourself together you can become the turned-on businessman, with a superb ensue of strategy, or the practical poet, musician, or artist who can manage your affairs better than any agent.

You can be very responsive to the needs of others yet you are at heart a private person, inclined to be withdrawn and given to periods of inner brooding as well as dreaming. Indeed when things are down you can get very despondent, and your imagination begins to conjure up the worst. At such times you can readily eat and drink for comfort as much as pleasure. Yet just when everyone thinks you have taken a vow of silence, there you are pouring forth flashes of insight and reveling your need to communicate your inner experience.

Central to all your work, in whatever sphere, is a strongly lyrical, feminine, caring sensibility, and a natural understanding of the relationship between feelings and the body. Whether or not you are in the helping or healing professions, you understand that illness is often an expression of mixed-up emotions, and you have a gift for reconnecting people with themselves and their feelings. Likewise you feel yourself connected to the Earth and to Mother Nature, and are likely to have special places to which you go, either in reality or in your imagination, in order to center yourself. This is one expression of your flair for giving symbolic expression to your feelings through some form of art, be it music or accountancy (even this can become a fine art when in your hands!).

You are a hands-on person who learns best by doing and working things out for yourself. Whilst you may have an intuitive flair for science, you can find abstract ideas and theories as such dull and uninviting. This can make you feel academically inadequate. To learn a subject you need to feel yourself emotionally engaged by it.

You directly experience the power of the imagination to give form to dead matter. Thus you will flourish best in any kind of work which can draw upon both your practical skills and your rich imagination. Whatever type of work you undertake -- across the spectrum from business and banking to music or mysticism -- you have an instinctive understand of the creative, healing power of poetic imagery and imagination. You believe in making dreams come true.

Relationships

You are solid and dependable, and when you make friends it is for life. You deeply need a partner, and seek to recreate through him or her the certainties and securities of the womb. You can be torn between the romantic idealist and the simple sensualist. Any sign of sympathy and inner understanding from others is a real turn-on, for warmth and physical affection are food and drink to you.

Though you fall in love easily, once committed you are a loyal, and indeed possessive soul, and will not readily relinquish your prize. Falling in love brings out the magic and poetry in your heart. Even if you are the very dullest bureaucrat, Cupid's dart transforms you into a starry-eyed lover. Your feet may still be on the ground but your heart is dancing with the stars. If, however, you fail to keep in touch with the magic of your true love, he or she can readily become your brother or sister, and you can find yourself 'just good friends' after all.

Your Greatest Strengths

Quiet, self-contained strength; capacity for practical sympathy and understanding; resourcefulness and willingness to work hard and long to make your seemingly idle dreams come true; social conscience.

Your Greatest Weaknesses

Naivety; deep stubbornness, which you cover with an apparent flexibility; sudden despondent moods, which can sink into self-pity; resistance to logical argument when it does not suit you.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away.
-A.E. Housman

The great questions of our day cannot be solved by speeches and majority votes...but by iron and blood. -Otto von Bismarck

Themes

FIRE/EARTH
Unstoppable; ambitious; tough-minded; domineering; enthusiastic and forceful manner; pragmatic intellect; droll sense of humor; sensible; ardent; persistent; aggressive; good organizer; a realist; the winner; the boss.

You are a go-getting realist, a maverick traditionalist whose strident energy and ambition takes you into the struggle of life at an early age. It is not so much that your life is a struggle, but that you experience life as a series of challenges to be conquered, and you more than most need a challenge in order to feel alive.

Something of a young upstart with an eye to the main chance, you are likely to be found in the establishment but often waging war against oppressive laws or traditions. You could also be a creative entrepreneur forging some new and exciting product or enterprise. Whatever you re involved with is likely to possess both originality and longevity, flair and endurance.

Politics is a very natural habitat for you, and it is here that you can be a very persistent thorn in the flesh of the status quo, bringing a searing honesty and fresh viewpoint which shocks people out of stagnant ways of working. And despite the insults and threats that you may prove, you do not go away. You have tremendous willpower and are thick-skinned enough to see your personal aim through to its completion. You respect the law and learn to work within its boundaries, but just by a hair's-breadth, because you have to push the system to its absolute limit to make enough room for your individuality to express itself -- and leave its stamp for posterity.

You say matter-of-factly what you intend to do, then you do it. You may be fairly low-key, not obviously a colorful Aries, but you are all the more determined for the close focus of your attention. There is something of the working-class hero about you: droll, down-to-earth and unaffected, with a scathing wit and a controlled cheekiness. You often use humor and sarcasm to get your point across.

You go for sound, solid ideals, and rarely waver from your path once you have seen the way ahead. You always assume you are right until proved wrong, and it takes quite an audacious opponent to stand up to you. Although you are naturally arrogant and impatient, you are nonetheless devoted to truth and respect personal courage in anyone, and you will immediately climb down to acknowledge the soul who is strong enough and wise enough to teach you a new lesson.

Although you want to win (and usually do), your self-respect and personal integrity are more important to you than anything. This goes for personal relationships, too; they tend to play second fiddle to your career ambitions and to those personal challenges that are such powerful grist to your mill.

Relationships

Your approach to love probably has as much practical commonsense about it as your approach to work. In your bold enthusiasm to drive home a point, you can seem somewhat abrasive to a partner who just wants a cuddle.

You are basically very self-controlled, and constantly push for more control of your outer world. Because of this, you may frequently mistake confrontation for relating, and loved ones may easily feel bruised and learn to avoid confrontation with you. Nevertheless, you are honest and open and ready to learn when you have to in order to be a success, be it in love or in career. You have certainly got what it takes to succeed, but you need to take care that your passion for winning and for economy of effort does not compromise the quality of your personal life. Do not forget to smell the roses along the way to success. Otherwise it can be pretty lonely at the top.

Your Greatest Strengths

The sheer magnetic force of your personality; a quick and pragmatic mind which sizes up situations accurately and astutely; the powerful mixture of risk-taking and caution in your approach to problem-solving; natural leadership abilities; the total involvement and courage commitment you bring to each moment of life.

Your Greatest Weaknesses

The sheer magnetic force of your personality, which can overwhelm weaker souls; a propensity to charge ahead with your instinct to conquer in inappropriate situations; a too-blunt businesslike manner in personal relationships; a lopsided and overpowering need for control and to be recognized as 'tops'.

She's deep, caring, emotional, and really picks up on all of the "vibes" around her...and (no exaggeration) if we're running around for errands, at least one stranger per day will comment on her eyes.

Two exboyfriends of mine had this. With both, I could not see the sensitive side. One was like a drill sargeant and the other was some objective scientific type.

My sweet little two year old has this. She loves her "Ma" and will give her dada a very rough time. She loves to try and feed me and will bring me my shoes, before I leave to go somewhere. Oh is she ever obsessed with shoes. If I have company over - she grabs the shoes and plays with them.....well puts the shoes one and walks around, mostly...

I Have Venus in Pisces square to Neppy and Jupiter.......so I guess I attract this kind of moon.
