From the moment you took your first steps you knew you were going places. You live in the here and now, make friends easily and your social circle is ever-widening. You are driven by the will to win, but you do need to learn with a good grace! You're full of courage, dynamic, open and impulsive. You are also a strong love- magnet and a fierce and forceful personality. Others are drawn to you but your quick tongue and temper can cause tears.

Natural impatience and intolerance give way to a more gentle influence at this period in your life. A few close friends will mean more that a dozen fun-loving pals, one true love more than a dozen flirtations, and home becomes your refuge from the hive of activity that you tend to generate. You take time now to explore relationships and the realm of the senses, and inspire adoration with your innate drive and growing tendencies. Your seniors now trust you; younger people often idolise you.

You confound all expectations in this thrilling and fascinating phase. A shift in personal circumstances is matched by a shift of gear, as you go all out to achieve your heart's desires. A potent mix of maturity and evergreen vigour lends you double the appeal, and there could be a second flowering of romance. But do check restless urges - don't lose touch with your values. Add all you can to the sum of your life and hold onto all that is good.

Caring and contentment are the key words during this phase. You have achieved so much, but there's no time to put your feet up as you are sought after for your wisdom and experience. You may find yourself at the very heart of a new family or the community, and will have deep reserves of love to give to others - perhaps to one very special other. Then, who says you can't live on memories? Your own could form the basis of a great book - a true romance no doubt!
