There are protectors, providers, understanders and liberators. Which are you?

What are you naturally attracted to? Some call what a person is naturally drawn to a type of obsession. Others may call what they find attractive and naturally are inclined to do a need or a want.
The bottom line is that each zodiac sign has something they are good at that's not exactly a passion. It's an autopilot move where you do it without even thinking about, and you're also quite good at it.
Each astrological sign has natural instincts — impulses are what drives all of us without even knowing it. Deep down inside a horoscope sign here is a need, or want that becomes a core passion. It's what keeps the fire inside you burning.
Perhaps, that's one of the reasons zodiac signs are often called star signs. Who you are and what you're attracted to is what makes you shine brightest.
Being SO unique and having different priorities and responsibilities are definitely factors in your life, but they aren't the same as your deepest desires. Those are separate and completely private (if you want them to be).
Our deep desires and natural instincts can develop at a young age or come over time. There's no wrong way to discover a personal interest that's also a passion. What you are meant to do and be will come out one way or another and you won't be able to resist doing it.
Think of your group of friends. If you were out at a dinner altogether one night, maybe one of your friends a little tipsy on the stairs and twists her ankle.
Every single person in your friend group will react differently. One friend will leap up and take the lead on tending to the wound. One of your friends will immediately run to go get help.
You might be the friend to hold the fallen friend's hand while another burst out into nervous laughter.
Without even realizing it every friend acted on natural instinct. Having different types of personalities doesn't make one zodiac sign better than the other, it just means their personality is different from another's.
Think about important points in your life. What are you naturally good at and do you on instinct? What's your first impulsive thought or what positive thing are you obsessive about? Are you more of a leader or a problem solver? A lover or a fighter? An optimist or realist? Whatever your natural instincts might be, they are yours, and in turn special.
Looking at your horoscope sign and each trait from the perspective of astrology can help you discover why your natural instinct is what it is.
