You often live in an idealistic world and create interesting fantasies which can become your career. You are the creators of the phrase "...and they lived happily ever after." You seldom seek to be seen and praised although you secretly desire recognition. Water is essential to your health and you should not only drink plenty of it but you are happiest if you live near water. Baths can also restore your health emotionally and physically.
