Traits
- Whatever their position in life, they will treat everyone on an equal footing and make everyone welcome. Social status is not important to them.
- Earning financial security is more important to them. If they are from modest origins, they are likely to become rich and famous, possibly even go down in history.
- If they are rich, they tend to be lavish, impulsive spenders with a danger of reckless wastefulness.
- A talent for being in the right place at the right time.
- Enjoy entertaining friends and are fond of cooking. Trades connected with food may attract them.
- Have rich, colourful imaginations.
- Tend to have a dark sense of humour.
- Secrets have a big effect on their life. They excel at secret negotiations.
- They will make enemies and can be vengeful and find it hard to forgive, but their generosity and goodwill often win around those people who judged them to be self-indulgent.
- Will not concentrate their energy and attention on any one interest.
