You thrive in people-facing, dynamic roles — entertainment, hospitality, sales, childcare. You need variety and human contact.
You do your best work with autonomy and a hard problem — give you the objective and get out of the way. You respect leaders who are competent and leave you alone.
You're affectionate, playful, and generous with attention. You need a partner who enjoys the ride — and who'll gently handle the logistics you happily ignore.
You love deliberately, choosing a partner the way you choose everything: carefully and for the long term. You show devotion through loyalty and follow-through, though you may need reminding that feelings want airtime too.
