It is your birthright to rule an enterprise – that is, if you are up to the challenge. Balance and power are the two words that describe you.

Your heart’s desire is to live a stable and well-organized life. You can’t help to be a systematic organizer. Order over chaos is your favorite mantra. Structure is more important to you than freedom. You’re a natural problem solver and don’t mind getting your hands dirty. You work most of the time and find it difficult to stop working to do other things. You dislike change, especially to your daily routine.
