Also, Thomas Merton has an expansive view of the world, one that includes humanity and not only his own small, personal circle.

He is drawn to social work, the ministry, giving his time and energy to charitable organizations, or to serving and helping the disadvantaged in some way. His generosity and unselfishness will bring Thomas Merton and others much good.

His sensitivity to the larger social context gives Thomas Merton the capacity to discern good opportunities and attract success. He is likely to achieve a high level of success in his career or business.

He is prone to impractical dreams and schemes and quixotic visions of what could be. If Merton's plans are too farfetched or grandiose, they are apt to never be realized. Even if other factors in his chart indicate that he is a well-grounded, realistic person, Thomas Merton still has this unfettered imagination which sometimes runs away with him. Occasionally Thomas can be duped.
