to what you consider your duty to those less fortunate than your- to follow post You have an alert mind, never content self, patterns of behaviour: Yet, on the other hand, you believe there ore certain truths which must be adhered to, no matter the contemporary approach. Whether you resolve the two sides of. your nature into a constructive pattern, or merely drift from one thing to another, is a mialter for you alone to determine.
You have a sense of the dramatic and might find that the singe, screen, radio or television holds a definite appeal, You have nn outgoing personality which would make appearing before the public casy for you. Your persunal magnetism is all in your Zavour. But, in addition, you must develop sufficient self-discipline to stled to a single objective. Once you have learned nol to scatter your interesis too widely, you are on the road to succESS,
Since you are moody at times, you may become a victim of you do not quite melancholy-a tendency in your rature that understand. This is probably a question of emotiount stability. cnother lesson of self discipline you must learn. You will be bapplest when wed to someone who has similar cultural tastes, who is always gay and bright, and who can `uncourage you to do your best work at all times.
