Leadership by stealth is the stock in trade of the Goat/Aries. You are so very good at manipulating people that they often don't realize that you're the one who's pulling their strings. This strategy of yours serves the purpose of making sure that you get the correct information regarding the situation, as people will only communicate truthfully with those who they consider their equals, even if your Aries will brook no rivals.
Be sure not to let any such Goat-inspired self-effacement get out of hand, however, or else others will step in and take all the credit for your bold and sweeping reforms. Be at the right place at the right time and credit will be assigned where it is rightfully due. The puppetry act may be superfluous when it comes to the bedroom -- try to be more forthright with the one you love and trust, no matter how difficult it becomes to wear your heart on your sleeve.
