You often reveal a remarkable power of determination and a love of enterprise. Ambitious and proud, with a sense of honor, you know how to make good use of the knowledge at your disposal.

Your mind is full of ideas, and you are keen to realize your thoughts and plans. Although you are usually successful in your enterprises and appear conservative to others, you may need to overcome a tendency to be restless or impatient.
