When you stay inside the lines, you waste the natural benefits from pioneering. Careers involving entrepreneurship, authority, foresight, planning, physicality, defenses, or passion suit you.   

Taurus

With the Part of Fortune in Taurus, luck finds you when you lean back and relax into your being. Your high self-esteem is like a magnet, attracting desires with ease and flow.

Your fulfillment comes from holding a long-term vision in mind and completing it with determined focus and loyalty to your desires.
