You have strong capacity for professional achievement through sustained effort and responsibility.\n\nYou're ambitious in a serious, long-term way. You want to build something lasting professionally and you're willing to work hard for years to achieve your goals. You understand that real success requires discipline, persistence, and paying your dues.\n\nYou may be drawn to traditional careers, positions of authority, or fields requiring expertise developed over time. You want professional respect and recognition for your competence. You take your career responsibilities seriously and have strong work ethic.\n\nYou may experience delays or obstacles in your career path, but these often teach you what you need to know for lasting success. You might feel burdened by professional responsibilities or struggle with authority figures. Your career may involve structure, limitation, or working with serious matters.\n\nYou tend to be known professionally for your reliability, competence, and integrity. You may assume leadership roles or positions of authority later in life after proving yourself thoroughly.\n\nThe challenge is potential excessive ambition, workaholism, or defining yourself entirely through achievement. You may be too hard on yourself professionally or feel you're never good enough. Learning to balance career dedication with personal life and self-compassion creates sustainable success.
