PRIMAL ZODIAC SIGN
TASMANIAN DEVIL
Libra + Tiger
Personality
Emotional, intense, and idealistic, those born under the sign of the Tasmanian Devil are anything but predictable. Initially coming across as mild-mannered, most people will quickly notice that there is more to this sign than meets the eye. Though they romanticize about being seen as the strong, stoic friend to others, in real life they are much more transparent than they think. Tasmanian Devils wear their emotions on their sleeves. They hold strongly romantic ideas about life and the people in it. They fantasize about a future in which every day is like a wonderful dream that you never wake up from. When they open their eyes and see that the world isn’t perfect and they are not yet the hero, disappointment sets in.
In the animal kingdom, the Tasmanian devil is famous for having a wild streak that can show itself at the slightest hint of confrontation. Likewise, those born under the sign of the Tasmanian Devil are the most emotional when reacting, rather than when acting. On their own they may be peaceful, friendly, and sincere, but the moment someone challenges them on any level their blood begins to boil. They may want nothing more than a peaceful conversation, but they can’t stand not defending their opinions when someone expresses an opinion other than their own.
Tasmanian Devils can also become obsessive. They have artistic, creative minds and it is mostly likely going to be some kind of artistic or charitable venture that they will find worthy of prolonged attention. Tasmanian Devils often channel their energy, passion, and even fears into an art form. The most common of which are music, graphic arts, and writing. They do best if they find a partner, group, or mentor to help keep their energy focused.
Staying focused on a productive venture is important for this sign to maintain balance, and maintaining balance is by far the biggest challenge for this sign. Few others need a sense of balance as strongly as this sign. Tasmanian Devils have a lot of energy that needs to be released. Regular exercise is highly recommended for Tasmanian Devils. Without this, pent up energy turns into pent up emotions, which can turn those born under this sign from calm to frenzied at any moment.
With so many live-wire characteristics, it’s important for members of this sign to focus on the good things happening around them. For a Tasmanian Devil, emotional momentum goes a long way. Focusing their formidable energy towards positive things prevents that same energy from turning into moodiness, restlessness, or indecisiveness - all of which are common to this sign.
Tasmanian Devils almost always have good intentions, and may even be very passionate about something. They are always willing to take on a challenge, but often become overwhelmed, bored or disinterested after the project has started. Members of this sign rarely plan ahead, so they have to rely on their energy to carry them through. Unfortunately many give up at the obstacle in their path, preferring to start a new project rather than try to fix the old one.
Compatibility
Tasmanian Devils are loyal and diplomatic friends, but they can also rely on their friends too heavily. Luckily, members of this sign have little trouble attracting new people into their lives, and typically have many acquaintances from several different walks of life. When they are in balance, Tasmanian Devils can be as fun, charming, and graceful as anyone. They are romantics and idealists who see life as a grand drama, one they wish was more like the romantic adventures that they like to read books and watch movies of. Unfortunately, too much dreaming can lead to unrealistic expectations of life and people in it. At any given time, it is very likely to find a Tasmanian Devil unhappy with the state of multiple relationships.
Similarly, Tasmanian Devils can be difficult to have a romantic relationship with. With such high expectations of how they want their life to look, they will inevitably end up disappointed with reality. They have the charisma and energy to attract the partner of their choosing, but this person is most likely to receive the brunt of their emotional instability. Again, living a balanced life (including realistic expectations), is key to making these relationships work.
Careers & Goals
Members of this sign have all of the intelligence and tenacity to be the C.E.O. of a company, but nine times out of ten that company will have to be one they started themselves. Members of this sign don’t necessarily enjoy others having authority over them, except when they feel a personal connection with the person in charge. Likewise, they may feel drawn to a certain field instinctively or emotionally, and should consider any field in which they feel drawn towards.
This is a sign that can accomplish anything. Anything at all. The problem is that they rarely finish anything. Sometimes they don’t even start. To be more precise, Tasmanian Devils rarely stick with one interest long enough to see it past the idea stages. They are enamoured by the next great idea and learning the next interesting skill. They know a little about a lot of things and in the end have more stories to tell than anyone else.
Tasmanian Devils have a strong artistic side, which can take on a number of forms. Careers such as Writer, Designer, Graphic Artist, Art Dealer, or owner of an art studio or boutique suit them well. Tasmanian Devils are often interested in politics as well, and may consider either a career as a politician or a commentator on political matters.
