Lee said that Hood was "all lion and no fox." I mention this, Aries, in the hope that it will serve as a kick in the butt. You're not as unbalanced as Hood--your ratio is about 90 percent lion, 10 percent fox--but if you want to navigate your way successfully through the coming weeks, you'll have to work harder on cultivating your inner fox.
