About Me


Your Sun Sign: Aries (March 24)
Element:
Fire Key Planet:
Mars
Rams live life head first; after all, those horns on your head are not just for fighting. Your headstrong nature can make you a "battering ram" and woe is the person who stands in your way. You Rams are noted for your courage and leadership qualities, primarily because you are nearly always ready for action. The need for excitement pushes you into new territory -- and as long as you are ahead of others while demonstrating confidence, chances are that they will follow you. As self-ordained leader of the pack, you fight for what you believe to be important. But it's not that you are fearless. Your courage is more of a commitment to face your fears and overcome them.
Motto: "Ready, fire, aim!”
Greatest Strength: Your courage to overcome fear
Possible Weakness: Not finishing things you start
Your Chinese Sign: The Dragon (1976)
The DRAGON … THE DAUNTLESS DRAGON
Mantra: Good luck runs my life.
The Dragon believes he is the ruler of the world. Self confident, very intelligent and talented -- most everything a Dragon attempts turns out great. Even when Dragons fail, they are rarely blamed, as their inspiration and enthusiasm evoke love and admiration. A Dragon's view of other people is not always the best, however. The Dragon can lack patience and be intolerant of the opinions of others if they don't agree with his.
Ira Glass , host of NPR 's This American Life, is a master storyteller. But it's taken him many years to achieve that status. Listen to his advice about having good taste and doing what you love!!
