You have a serious and intense personality which may give others the impression that you lack a sense of humor. This isn’t the case, however you have had to face the grim aspects of reality from a young age and so you aren’t as frivolous as others and take little for granted.

When motivated, you can become focused and obsessive, pouring over details in order to succeed on your mission. You have the potential to become wise and mature and a powerful leader if you can fully embrace the personal transformations and sacrifices that must come first.

You easily set boundaries with others, however it is difficult for you to accept an answer from others that limits your power of will in any way. As a result you may learn difficult lessons in relationships and may perceive others’ limits as unacceptable rejection.

Although you naturally exude power and leadership potential you struggle with acceptance of any authority other than your own. You may have a difficult relationship with a father figure or an absent or extremely demanding authority figure in your early life.
