In Taoist terms, you’re a yang. You’re goal-oriented and full of action. You approach life aggressively and aren’t afraid of going after what you want. To achieve balance, try to dedicate more time to relaxing, whether it means treating yourself to a massage or staying in one night to read a book. And if you normally stick to a schedule, try going with the flow for a day and do something spontaneous!
Mostly Bs
You exhibit the yin characteristics. You’re gentle, inclusive, and flexible. Your reliance on your intuition allows you to notice things others may miss. To balance out your yang side, speak up if you feel like your needs are being overlooked. Make a list of things you want to achieve in the next month and set a goal to go after one of them with full force!
