Eagles are symbols of power, leadership, and strength, often soaring high to generate new ideas and ways to do things, complemented with a determination to make them happen.

Eagles are natural entrepreneurs, using their creative problem-solving skills to take charge of situations and people easily. They like to focus on getting a task done to a high standard. They take great pride in their honesty and reliability and in return, prefer honest feedback to false compliments. They can appear confident and more mature than other people their age.
