Born today, you are highly creative and will always choose the imaginative path when it is available to you -- even if it means doing that which is unusual, controversial, risky or downright dangerous. You're willing to put up with a great deal to put yourself in the running for success, acclaim and tangible rewards; you will do that which most people won't because you think the potential gains far outweigh the dangers -- and so they do, to you. You will never drag others along with you, however, if they don't want to go; you're not the kind to envelop everyone around you in your affairs and then leave them to fend for themselves when things go haywire.

Some may say that you're only after new experiences, glory and the adrenaline rush that doing things your way gives you -- and that's all true! You aren't always philanthropic, and often don't care at all if your thinking is utterly at odds with the thinking of other people. Majority opinions don't interest you much!
