Born today, you approach your life with a healthy "What if?" philosophy. In other words, you imagine a scenario, ask yourself, "What if that were to happen?" and then go about uncovering the answer to your satisfaction -- and often to your considerable advancement. The fact is that while you are not fearless, you never let fear stand in your way. You are determined to move forward, exploring possibilities and answering "What if?" regardless of any dangers or threats that you might encounter along the way. And just as you won't ever stop yourself, you're not about to let anyone else stop you, either! You know how to protect yourself and to take precautions, but you also understand that safety measures can only do so much. Sometimes fate will take a hand in what happens to you.
You can be rather flamboyant at times, and you enjoy surprising those around you with behavior that doesn't seem to fit the person that they have come to know. You are solid in your beliefs, however, and you will never do anything that goes against the principles to which you have pledged lifelong faith.
