Born today, you would be able to use your considerable native charms to get your way were it necessary, but more often than not you are able to use intelligent persuasion and a keen understanding of human nature to convince others that you are in the right, and that what you are suggesting is, indeed, the best way to proceed. You are creative and sometimes rather unconventional; you will do a routine thing in a way that is uniquely your own -- and often it is done so well, and impresses others so deeply, that your own personal methods become the way for others as well. You know how to wield power wisely and carefully.
