Possessing the gift of confidence, this person doesn’t seek others’ approval or sympathy to justify their choices. They could be an actor, musician or a successful public speaker. They are comfortable with their sexuality and unafraid of others’ disapproval. Such confidence is a powerful aphrodisiac and can attract people who lack the same level of self-belief. At the same time, they might find it hard to understand that confidence does not come naturally to most of us.

Being a resilient and generally optimistic person, they tend to face life’s challenges head on and are not afraid of suffering. They adapt to new situations and cope well with disappointment and loss, having a mature understanding of relationships and intimacy and are not prone to unrealistic expectations. They have a strong sense of hope and a positive outlook which others find attractive.

Sociable, energetic and a team player. Often the centre of attention, they love meeting a wide variety of people. Speaking to strangers and making friends comes naturally to them. They enjoy nights out, clubbing, outdoor gigs and noisy parties. At home, they seek company and do not yearn for ‘me time’. They enjoy sharing and tend to define their identity through their relationships. Assuming they can keep up with them, their partners respond positively to their energy and feel inspired.

Although on the surface this person seems to ride life as though it’s the crest of a wave – they have called the coast guard for information about tides beforehand! They are excited by new challenges and are happy to ‘go with the flow’ and try new experiences. They’ll be up for a spontaneous after-work drink with friends but not if it means they miss the last bus home. They’re independent and take balanced risks. They will be happy to date someone who is out of their comfort zone for the experience but when their instincts about a person or situation kick in, they’ll stop and listen. Although they’re ready for fun, they certainly wouldn’t call themselves reckless.

They certainly can’t be accused of being stuck in their ways. They are flexible and able to embrace change. Although they abide by the laws of the land, behind the scenes they have their own ideas about how things should be done. They would consider themselves to be a moderate thinker and take a balanced and accommodating view of the world around them.

They’re in control and call a spade a spade. People always know exactly where they stand with them, which is a valuable commodity. Although others may see them as quite strong, they don’t mind displaying their soft side now and then, especially when they think others need their support and comfort. They often know exactly what to say but may feel they need a bit of practice in how to say things.

They won’t be walked over by anyone but won’t cause any scenes either. They may appear indecisive but that could be because they prefer others to take control. Being fairly easy-going, their laid-back approach may come accross as lazy or uncaring. Being put on the spot makes them feel uncomfortable so if they need to make a decision they like to take their time and weigh things up. Even then, they may want to leave their suggestions open to debate – a trait others may see as fair-minded, team-spirited and inclusive.

Trusting others is high on their priorities and is one of the foundation stones on which they build a relationship. If it isn’t there, or someone betrays their trust, they find it quite hard to forget – even if they do manage to forgive. They are fair-minded and accepting and may readily believe a person’s reason for letting them down. Equally, they will feel real feelings of guilt if they feel they have lost someone’s trust. They’ll share their thoughts and passions with others and will come across as open-minded.
