Love & Relationships
Friendly, charming, and gregarious, yet assertive and outspoken, you usually have an active social life. Security-conscious, you may be tempted to marry for reasons other than love. Due to your ambition and determination, ideally you need a partner who is successful in his or her own right. As you may become restless in relationships and be prone to a change of heart, you may have to develop patience to stop you from becoming bored. This can be helped by putting time aside for travel or new and exciting experiences.
