Expect to get a boost in your confidence but also to be constantly put under pressure, testing your limits. It's not an easy angel to work with but an highly rewarding one from a self developmental point.

But when you see this: "the chief male personification of power", well that says something different to me than just "power over others". The thing that comes to my mind, rightly or wrongly, is leadership and initiative and the active pulling together of people and ideas where it is needed. Not necessarily being the "alpha male" as that has a bullying or domineering side to it I don't mean-- but it certainly can be there. So one could read it in a broad way and find "power over others" might be something different and less disharmonious-- if one wanted to read it that way.
Excellent responses, friends. I may start a working with Dynamis and post a journal.
