You have an overbearing personality and in your quest to achieve success you may become oblivious to some of your dangerous ideas and aggressive manner that make you unpopular at times.

You must restrain your emotional nature. On a more positive note: as you go through your stormy life, your intense nature may actually help you earn money through contests, arguments or litigation.

If you can slow down a little and not react strongly to everything and everybody around you, life can become so much more enjoyable.

Career & Finances
