Think about it: The way we see ourselves is rather a matter of habit most of the time, isn't it? What do you think your strong points are? Your ability to hold a job? To work successfully with people? To keep fit? Perhaps you pride yourself on your loyalty as a friend, your optimistic outlook or ability to persevere. Whatever your personal strengths, if you're like most of us, you've tapped only a small percentage of the power that is your sun-sign birthright.

Ancient wisdom has it that your soul chooses its moment to enter the earth very carefully by divine design - the season, day and hour of your birth provide you with an opportunity for maximum fulfillment of individual self-expression. Your sun sign represents your vital source. It is the central energy from which your personal energy emanates and around which all the aspects of your personality orbit, just as the planets orbit about the sun, the center of our solar system.

As you read the sun sign paragraphs that follow, you'll probably recognize some of the strengths described as traits about yourself that you take for granted, things which you can depend upon yourself to pull you through - hardly "secret" at all. By thinking about these traits consciously, you may be able to focus more clearly on using these strengths to further personal goals.

And then there may be a few traits that we mention here that you don't recognize in yourself at all - at least not right away. Don't dismiss these, but think about them, for we all have "secret" strengths that we haven't yet discovered in ourselves. Astrology helps you see yourself from a new perspective, helps you tap reserves of personal power that would otherwise have laid dormant or emerged only under occasional stressful conditions. Life becomes richer when you make a conscious effort to recognize, develop and use all the wonderful things about yourself.
