be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.

It’s very likely that you may be enthusiastic about the future because certain visionaries describe it so
clearly. Perhaps their ideas for products, medicines, or inventions increase your determination to take
action. Instinctively, you take advantage of every opportunity to describe to others all the amazing
things you see happening in the coming months, years, or decades. Your vision opens people’s minds
to new and wondrous possibilities. You challenge them to consider ideas they might not have thought
of on their own. By nature, you create detailed and vivid images of what the future promises. You can
describe it long before others can imagine it. Driven by your talents, you occasionally prefer to spend
time with visionaries. Why? Maybe you enjoy listening to them describe innovative products, labor-
saving devices, medical possibilities, or new ways of governing. Thinking about only the present might
bore you. Chances are good that you sense your life has deep meaning. With remarkable vividness,
you often imagine where you will be, what you will be doing, and what you have the ability to
accomplish in the coming months, years, or decades. Your dreams of tomorrow are very alive in your
