You are family-oriented and have a talent for settling disputes between people to the satisfaction of both sides. You somehow know the middle ground.

Your lesson in life is to work with the whole subject of balance. You must come to truly understand the ancient and fundamental principle of opposites that seek harmony. Whether the realm is the emotions, caring for others, finances, work, or play, you must learn where you can be of service, exactly what you can do, and what are your limits.

You have a considerable amount of artistic talent. You have a deep appreciation of beauty and art.

You are highly responsible and will do without in order to fulfill a debt.

Your focus is on relationships. You want to help others, and have a talent as a healer and could make a profession of the healing arts, either as a nutritionist, alternative health therapist (acupuncture, massage, for example) or doctor.

You need to know you are appreciated. You are given to flattery and vulnerable to praise. Criticism, on the other hand, leaves a very damaging impression on you. You take it deeply to heart.

You will sacrifice your own comfort to support and help others. You are generous, kind, and understanding.

The quotes are beautiful Praecipua! - I love quotes!

Thank you all so much! *giggle*

"You are family-oriented and have a talent for settling disputes between people to the satisfaction of both sides. You somehow know the middle ground."

I think so ;-) – My Libra Moon?

"Your lesson in life is to work with the whole subject of balance."

So true! Working hard on that one… still haven´t got the grip of the whole concept though ;-)

"You have a considerable amount of artistic talent. You have a deep appreciation of beauty and art."

True! I use my home as my canvas – it´s a very colourful gothic-gypsie inspired place – you´re all welcome!

"Your focus is on relationships."

It sure is! - pity relationships don´t focus on me …*lol*

"Criticism leaves a very damaging impression on you. You take it deeply to heart."

True! This is why I wouldn´t apply to the French Foreign legion… ever! ;-)

"You will sacrifice your own comfort to support and help others."

True! My home is a Broken Hearts-refuge – ...but they don´t stay very long, because I bring them with me on my running tours whether they want to or not ;-)

"You can be highly emotional and given to extremes in sympathy and sentimentality."

oh, dear...yes, that is me!

"Study and the development of your healing skills brings you great rewards in life."

Hm… actaully been thinking about it

Praecipua a dit: ”t'habites en france?”
Non, je n´habite pas en France, mais dans un pays oú on parle français et qui est situé près de la France ;-) Et toi, tu parles aussi français?

Mblover said: “Would you like to go to Neptune with me? It's much better out there! There is a beautiful lake and a private resort. Only you and me ;-) Let's go.”

Yeah, why not… do we bring our own meat or do they have barbercue stuff over there? *lol*
