Lind Evangelista - the activist, by Steven Klein
The Alchemist is an Inner Idealist illuminating positive change.
The Alchemist is fascinating because they have a love/hate relationship with money. They often speak with vehemence against money or against the unfairness that exists in the world where some people have so much more than others. The Alchemist is amazing at creating ideas that can transform peoples’ lives and transform the world at large. Even in business, their motivation is usually altruistic in nature and they are frequently attracted to unconventional or alternative ways of making money. Because of this they can be powerful champions of others and the Alchemist is amazing at helping others see new possibilities in a fresh light.
They can often be impatient, even annoyed or angry that they have to “deal” with money. That resentment can be a powerful block to the Alchemist making the impact that they are passionate about. Because of the duality of their nature the Alchemist can often find themselves in situations where they are dependent on others for money, rather than creating their own financial independence, which can cause them to again, have love/hate feelings about the situation.
The challenge for the Alchemist is to direct their tremendous energy towards monetizing ideas and to find a way of positively connecting with the good money can do in the world. This will help the Alchemist transform their amazing ideas into financial success that has purpose and personal meaning.
