You thrive leading teams, teaching, or driving missions with a human purpose. You need to feel your work matters to real people.
Give you tools, autonomy, and a real problem — you'll fix what others can't. You need freedom more than you need praise.
You love generously and attentively, often anticipating your partner's needs before they voice them. Watch that you don't lose yourself in the relationship — your needs count too.
