Appearance and manner
Tradition ascribes an energetic stride, expressive brows, a habit of walking slightly ahead and speaking first. Clothing is functional over decorative — things you can act in.
Honest note: these are traditional astrological descriptions, not scientific facts. People recognize themselves in them surprisingly often — check against your own mirror.
What to lean on
- The first minutes of any meeting work for you — use them in negotiations and interviews
- Taking initiative when everyone else freezes
- Directness that saves weeks of correspondence
- Fast reactions in a crisis
The blind spot
Your drive reads as aggression where none exists. Slower-paced people feel anxious around you and close up before you've made your offer.
What to do
In important conversations, deliberately slow down for the first five minutes: let the other person finish every sentence. Your 'let's decide fast' isn't going anywhere, and you'll meet far less resistance.
