There is a strong spiritual' side to your nature and it is that you might enter the Church. It is more likely, however, that you will devote your talents to some religious group rather than becoming an integral part of the group, yourself. You have new and original ideas in art, music and literature and will probably become a leader in one of these fields.
Since you have a strong feeling for right and justice you will, want to see that all get their just nad right rewards in this life. Although you have a certain native ability in business and com- merce you are not likely to concentrate on money-making, merely for the sake of material gains.
Interested in the accult and the mysterious, you might find It wise to have your dreams interpreted, for your subconscious is always very active, whether awake or sleeping!
