Character Traits
  • People who devote themselves to the care of others and defending the underdog. Little respect for those in power, by whom they may feel threatened.
  • They particularly want to care for children and have the ambition to set up a facility for children or young people in need, but it won't necessarily come to fruition as there will be opposition from partners or family and/or a lack of funding.
  • May experience the loss of a child.
  • Artistic, with a particular talent for painting or pottery.
  • Love the country, trees and life in the open.
  • Stubborn and unwilling to take advice.
  • Imaginative and inventive, full of ideas for new products, ways to fix up old products, or new methods.
  • Tend to underestimate their own ability.
  • May be psychic and very spiritual. Their spiritual interests will include the power of story, extending their perception to experience others' world views, using cosmic principles to make the world a better place. There is, however, a possible bondage to superstition.
  • Could work in the civil service, or in an administrative position for the military or police.
