Your talents lie in the realm of the arilsile, especially the dramatic, I wil be unusual if your life work does not, at some time or another, touch the theatre,

You are, however, may be drawn to publie life and will make good politicians. With the proper use of your talents, you can also become a slatesman of note in your own tine. You are not one to stick to the conventions, and it is unlikely that you could be "bossed" for any great length of time, You are too much the individualist for that,

You women, rather than seeking careers, probably are more interesting in having your own home and family. You co maku that a lifetime career and a very successful one of it, too. If you are drawn into pubile life at some period, you will be able to handle that as well as your own home. You are excellent managers and know how to juggle a lot of activities at one time.

It is likely that you will reap financial as well as critical muccess in your career or profession. You have a good head for business and know how to strike a good bargain. You belleve that the artist as well as the worker in busineRY worthy bis hire!
