Dave Wood's
Personality

I follow the guides of Chivalry and Bushido.

I believe that Astrology does not offer insight into one's personality, but nonetheless I have posted some assumptions here. Assessing one's personality is difficult to say the least!!

My Given Name

Dalet - Vav - DaletDavid
"A Man of Action"
Derived from Hebrew 'daoud' or 'yadad' meaning "friend" or "beloved", or "cherished". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. Jesus was supposedly descended from him. Other famous bearers of this name include the 5th-century patron saint of Wales, two kings of Scotland, empiricist philosopher David Hume, and explorer David Livingstone. This is also the name of the hero of Charles Dickens' semiautobiographical novel 'David Copperfield'.

Your first name of David has given you a very practical, hard-working, systematic nature. Your interests are focused on technical, mechanical, and scientific things, to the exclusion of interests of an artistic, musical, or social nature. You have a rather skeptical outlook on life and rather materialistic standards. In reaching your goals, you are very independent and resourceful, patient and determined. You can be so very positive and definite in your own ideas and opinions that others sense a lack of tact and friendliness in your manner of expression. You are inclined to be rather demanding and self-centred in your personal wants, and your own desires can be so overriding that you fail to recognize or appreciate the feelings, opinions, or desires of others. As a consequence, difficulties in relations within the family or with close associates can arise. Weaknesses in the health centre in the head, and in the stomach and intestinal organs.

Meldon (Quenya)Tolkien Elven (Quenya) written using Tengwar, or Feanorian letters

DAVID: The meaning of Hebrew Dawidh is propably "Beloved One" (cf. dodh "friend"). From the Quenya adjective melda "beloved, dear" (MEL) we derive Meldon.



Sagittarius

Western Astrology : Sagittarius

Career
You love to be in the driver's seat. You are absolutely brilliant at delegating work and organizing others. You are a born leader, and that makes it difficult for you to follow others. The most important thing to you is to be in a position of authority and to be proud of your accomplishments. You can be a generous and giving boss; however, you must be sure you don't give away everything you make. You must attain financial security in order to have the type of lifestyle you require to be happy.
You are very giving, but you are not good at paying bills or debts--because you just can't be bothered. You really should have an accountant or a bank taking care of your finances in order to keep creditors off your back. Normally, you are lucky with cash and have no problem making money. Your extravagance and fun-loving attitude could lead to your downfall.
You work well in areas of entertainment; however, sales, luxury trade, the church, the law, or general wheeling and dealing are occupations at which you could excel.

Self
You have intense emotional desires that can lead to possessiveness. You tend to overwork; you seek perfection, have tremendous staying power, and will see any matter through to the bitter end, regardless of the personal sacrifice involved. You despises weakness in yourself and in others. You are generous and compassionate, and will fight for the underdog. You believe in expressing yourself with undiluted truthfulness. You are highly secretive and extremely intuitive. Your eyes are penetrating and magnetic. You make a loyal friend or a vehement enemy.
You will always observe others carefully before you decide whether or not to befriend them. You will not tolerate dishonesty or laziness, and will only help those you believe are worthy of your time and effort. You feel that everyone who is close to you should maintain the same standards and morals as you do, and for anyone close to deviate from these standards would, to your mind, be an act of disloyalty.
You are a strong competitor. Although you don't go out looking for ways to prove yourself to others, when you are forced to do so you are unlikely to back down. You are an all-or-nothing individual with a do-or-die attitude.

Partnership & Relationship
You like to enjoy your passions in comfort. Soft music, low lights, and good brandy are necessities. You prefer to be surrounded by beautiful objects, and you demand quality in all aspects of your life, including your partner. You don't like lovers who waste your time. If a potential mate really wants to be with you they shouldn't take too long to decide. You are patient, but chances are you'll fall asleep if they don't make their move. You don't care for a mate who argues with you; it is fruitless because there is no way they can possibly win. You are disinterested in a lover who plays hard to get. That's a game you just won't play. You are a physical individual; earthy, lusty and sensual; a connoisseur of food, drink, and lovemaking. When you take someone out for dinner or entertainment, you want to get value for your money. You also expect your partner to treat you well if you show them a good time. You are strong-willed, possessive and intensely emotional. You are protective of the lover who knows how to satisfy your substantial sexual cravings.
You are a complex lover, ruled by the planet Venus, which makes you instinctively knowledgeable of the art of seduction. You will welcome quality gifts from your lover. You always know exactly what you want, and you'll become moody if you don't get it. As long as your partner stays on your good side and treats you with tender loving care, you will be affectionate and generous. You are eager to learn about life, and the partner who can teach you will win your heart. You look for a lover who is sincere and appreciative, and who knows how to get the best quality items for the best price. If your chosen mate lives up to your standards, you will be a loyal, loving and excellent partner.
You delight in good cooking and fine wine. The way to your heart is definitely through your stomach. You are turned off by individuals who exaggerate or color the truth. You like to be admired, and will respond strongly if your lover is encouraging.

Family
You have a unique way of putting things together. Your home will never fit any normal definition. You prefer to live in an open-plan concept, and lean toward futuristic surroundings. You fill your home with gadgets and all sorts of technological devices that will help make any tedious job get done quickly. You are not attached to your environment, and are quite willing to pick up and leave without a second thought, because this would offer you a chance to create another new and interesting living space.
Although you truly love your family, you are also able, if necessary, to detach yourself from them. You are remote, yet concerned with the well-being of those you love. You can distance yourself in order to offer sound advice without letting your feelings get in the way.

Personality

General Personality Characteristics
You are a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. You are an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very restless. You need a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to you.
To you, life is a journey, an adventure, endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for you to decide where to focus your attention and efforts. You probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before you settled on a particular career. Or you may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, you are very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus, and concentration are not your strong points. You can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.
An incurable optimist, you have big dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the future and are usually pursuing some distant goal. You have a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures don't crush your spirit. You always bounce back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. You have a sporting, playful attitude toward life and are philosophical about your mistakes. You have the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and you like to theorize and speculate. However, attending to all of the details and practical requirements of implementing your theories is bothersome to you.
You express yourself in a very open, direct, and straightforward manner and are often blunt and tactless as well. Because you do not take yourself too seriously, you may not realize how deeply your candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though you may not realize it, your insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of your worst faults.
You do enjoy friendship and comradery, but you need freedom also and do not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. You are quite generous yourself, and heartily dislike pettiness in others. Someone who shares your ideals, your sense of fun, and your zest for life would be the right companion for you.

Mental Interests and Abilities
Clear, objective, and realistic, you are unimpressed by exaggerated claims or promises. You insist upon being shown facts to back up any statement you hear, and your natural skepticism often borders on cynicism. You approach problems clearly and rationally and maintain your poise and objectivity even in the midst of critical situations. Anyone seeking your advice is certain to get an unemotional and unbiased assessment of their situation, and you therefore make a good arbitrator or judge. You are thorough, conscientious, and disciplined in your thinking, and have an aptitude for business, organization, and administration. You are also a good strategist, and will plan and patiently follow a realistic course which will lead to your eventual success. Serious-minded and studious, you enjoy quiet time alone for thinking or reading.

Dating Guide
Here are some things you can do with Sagittarius to ensure a successful date. Go camping, take a long and beautiful road trip together, take a canoe out on a lake, go to the zoo, go bowling, go to a casino, go to a comedy club, play miniature golf, attend a sporting event, go to a carnival, trip to Las Vegas, go to the horse races, create a surprise date, go to a variety show, go to a dinner theater event, go whale-watching, go horse-back riding, go star-watching, go big game fishing
Do's
Keep the bright, happy side of your personality showing. Your Sagittarius will set the example, displaying an ever cheerful and optimistic nature. Give your Sagittarius the emotional and physical freedom that they need. Learn -- they will teach you how to obtain and treasure that freedom in your own life. Keep a travel kit complete with a few essential outfits and toiletries packed at all times. Your Sag will whisk you away at a moment's notice to secluded spots or exotic destinations. Appreciate a good practical joke, a roller coaster ride or a hike through a national forest. Your Sagittarius will introduce you to all these diversions and more. Be enthusiastic, energetic and ever ready for adventure. Enjoy all sides of the relationship -- Sagittarius can be your playmate, your inspiration and your best friend.
Don'ts
Try not to subject your Sag to the darker, more negative side of your personality. The Archer needs to see the positive side of life, even if it means ignoring your depression. Never tell a Sag that you're right and they're wrong. They like to feel that they have the best answer to any question or situation. Don't try to keep your Sagittarius in a small, confined area, no matter how plush it is. They will feel cramped or caged and will need to escape. Avoid turning a blind eye to the Sagittarian fondness for betting. Some Sagittarians can't restrain themselves when it comes to the tables, the sports book or gambling in general. Don't be impatient with the relationship -- if you expect declarations or demonstrations of eternal love, your patience may be tested. Sagittarians are independent, and will likely not fall in love quickly or demonstrate it too effusively.

Greek Muse

Euterpe
You scored as Euterpe.

The Muse Euterpe ("rejoicing well" or "delight"), in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Called the "Giver of Pleasure", she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credir Marsyas with its invention. The river Strymon impregnated Euterpe; her son Rhesus was killed by Diomedes at Troy.

Her name is from Greek eu (good, well) and τέρπ-εω (to please)

Sex God

Zeus Hark - the oracle speaks! A bolt of lightning falls from the sky! SHAZAAM! As the smoke clears, the hidden deity in you emerges and is revealed to be:
ZEUS, God of Thunder.
Like a ten-megaton bomb, you drop from the sky and into the arms of your lovers. Seduction is not just a simple game for you, it's a way of life. With your handsome looks and masculine charms, you wow the ladies until all resistance has worn away. As ruler of the gods, you like to remain in control of your relationships. From casual discussions to techniques in the bedroom, you like to call the shots. You may have many admirers, but you might tend to fall a little short on some virtues -- such as fidelity. Your mind wanders at the slightest provocation. You have been known to have several women on your mind (and in your bed) at once. But, hey, with such powerful feelings thundering inside, you need to spread your love around, right? What's certain is that once you get busy, your godly nature starts working overtime. As you perform your magic, that special someone will know exactly why they call you a true sex god.

You don't mind Star Trek and have obviously watched a couple of episodes or movies, but you don't live or breathe the world. Not to bad!

You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. [LaVeyan] Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Awkward at low levels, an unstoppable juggernaught at high levels, you are the monk. I think an honest attempt was made to make the kind of monks you always see in those awesome movies from China, but really, they came up with something pretty weird here. You are so in tune with the natural harmonies of this world that you can destroy *anything*... sure, you can hit for subdual damage, but where's the fun in that? At the end of the battle the fighter wipes his sword clean of blood and resheaths it feeling pretty hard-core... until he looks over at you and sees you standing in a pile of maimed and unconscious bodies, completely unarmed, and entriely placid-faced... Fighter: "Well fought, Brother Learned Fist! Ha ha!" *said ill-at-ease* Monk: "There, in the trees... a baby morning dove just took it's first flight while I was disembowleing this ogre with my quivering-toenail... so beautiful... or did you not notice?" Your main function in the party is to keep things a little awkward for everyone else.
