You shine in brainstorms, negotiations, and turnarounds — anywhere fresh thinking beats procedure. Repetitive maintenance work will drain you fast.
You need work that aligns with your values — writing, art, counseling, advocacy. Meaningless tasks feel like a slow suffocation.
You're a fun, stimulating partner who keeps the relationship intellectually alive. You need someone who enjoys sparring with you but will also call time-out when play turns into poking.
You love deeply, romantically, and with total sincerity. You need emotional safety and a partner who honors your inner world without trying to renovate it.
