What motivates you and what part of your chart do you think signifies?

I read an interesting article about the zodiacal motivations:
Sign --- Motivational Need
Aries--- Survival, being, autonomy, freedom
Taurus--- Stability, security, pleasure, comfort
Gemini--- Learning, communication, information
Cancer--- Nurturance, caring, belonging, dependency
Leo --- Validation, approval, creativity, self-esteem
Virgo --- Efficiency, competence, service, utility
Libra --- Intimacy, relatedness, beauty, harmony
Scorpio --- Transformation, sexuality, power, integrity
Sag --- Meaning, truth, expansion, justice, hope
Capricorn--- Structure, perfection, order, success
Aquarius--- Perspective, insight, change, awakening
Pisces--- Transcendence, unity, bliss, forgiveness
To summarize, a complete analysis of the zodiac suggests that there are twelve fundamental, innate, inborn needs that correlate to the signs. These signs obey a precise, developmental sequence. Thus, astrology presents a hierarchically organized, twelve-stage, twelve-drive model of motivation. At the heart of the theory is the assertion that people act in the service of their needs. Problems result when for various psychological reasons people are impaired in their capacity to fulfill certain need-drives. How this is reflected in the astrological chart will be our subject for a future column.
