You're curious and constantly widening your horizons, reaching for new knowledge, new people, fresh experiences and sensations.
Your acquaintances usually see a lively, sociable person who's always interesting to be around. You have an inborn need to communicate. You have a rich vocabulary and gesture expressively. In personal contact, exchanging thoughts and ideas matters to you, and people value you as a great storyteller and conversationalist.
Your literary talent and acting streak can influence your choice of profession, and they can also show in your relaxed manner and in a bold, bright style of dress.
