Born today, you are equally at home among friends, family members, co-workers and anyone else you might encounter on your life's journey. You never try to be anyone but yourself, no matter what the situation or with whom you may be interacting, whether for personal pleasure or professional gain. You are likely to be widely admired by those who have a hard time being as comfortable in their skin as you are in yours -- but there's really no secret to it. You never compare yourself to others, so there is never any situation in which you may feel in any way inferior. The only measure you use for yourself is your experience -- and whether what you do yields the results you hope for, personally or professionally.
Your ability to slide effortlessly from one person to the next or one affiliation to the next serves you well in many arenas, but it can cause problems for you when it comes to love. What you are after -- stability and longevity -- do not go hand in hand with your often loose and inconsistent relationship habits!
