Born today, you are often having to fight against the darker aspects of your nature, and there are times when you sink into such emotional lows that even the simplest things become quite difficult. At your best, you are one of the most forward-thinking and capable individuals born under your sign; all you have to do to ensure steady progress is to keep your darker moods as infrequent and short-lived as possible.
Highly creative, you like to look at familiar problems in new and unfamiliar ways -- and you can lead others down new roads with eagerness and enthusiasm. Honoring the past while embracing the future works well for you in almost all areas of your busy and sometimes complicated life.
