You are also restless in spirit, anxious to get on with the business of living, ready to accept a new challenge.

Sometimes your impatience is misunderstood. Your sensitivity toward other people and your need for freedom are part of the same personality. You grant freedom to others and never try to limit or restrict another human being.”
