You have literary talent which you may use, to forward some worthy cause. You speak well in public and are strong in debate. You would make a good attorney or political leader, although it is probable you will prefer to remain the "power behind the throne." rather than, to participate as a candidate, yourself. You are practical and will test your original ideas before projecting them. You are spiritual and although you are not likely to enter the church as your life work, you will always follow the highest precepts. You are a little too original in your thinking to become a hundred percent conformist in any field. It is likely that muşle will be your hobby. You may have talent in this direction, as well.
