Life Lessons
These people need to understand that “talking does not cook the rice,” that being clever is not necessarily being smart, and that they need to learn to stick with things.
Positive Tendencies
These are clever people who can spin a tale and entertain as well as live by their wits, but they are naturally very shy and reserved. These people are very flexible and can be all things to all people. Good front men or women, here we have the natural, easygoing, go-with-the-flow type who can put a positive spin on things and show the proper face to the right people. Detail-oriented, they finish tasks in an efficient and exacting manner as well as remember small points and complex ideas. They have a good sense of decoration, of colors and decor. They are the perfect helper and creative worker. These people create tremendous atmosphere and can subtly influence others in a variety of ways. They are excellent at delicate discussions and at dealing with difficult or tense people in a calm and careful way. Never overbearing or aggressive, they are usually friendly and sweet people who keep their feelings and opinions to themselves much of the time. Quiet and loyal good friends, they are great at keeping secrets and can often slip in and out of situations quietly and effectively.
Negative Tendencies
These people can be, at times, inconsistent, spacey, forgetful, disorganized, shallow, uncommunicative, and frivolous. Though witty, they can also be hesitant and almost dosed-lipped in their social interactions, real wallflower types. Flexible can easily translate into fickle and rarely means stable. Detail-oriented can easily become picky and gossipy. These individuals can sometimes see themselves as boring, ineffectual, and powerless. This can lead to melancholy and listlessness.

Life Lessons
These people need to accept that all people are equal; they need to reach out and touch others more, and they should exercise a bit more caution as well.
Positive Tendencies
Here we have true daredevils, people who seem to skate on the edge with daring-do but rarely get into trouble. These people may be intellectually brilliant and crazily aware of things others miss. Dignified persons, they are often completely accepting of others and usually “game” for interesting, unusual, or strange experiences. Natural managers, they instantly gain respect and attention: They are natural leaders who most people have no trouble following, no matter where it may lead. They are also popular people; there always seems to be an admiring aura around them that attracts all sorts of people. Such individuals can go far by following primal instincts, by going with their gut feelings. They have very elevated senses of aesthetics and good taste, expecting and enjoying the finer things of life, including the arts. These are people to whom the label “cutting edge” applies in that they are attracted to the newest, most advanced ideas, schemes, and technologies, especially if they are risky! They are able to separate things, categorize things, and in general objectively remove themselves from things. They are wild, passionate people, in romance and elsewhere. Here are people who know enough to be cautious, although they may not be wise enough to do so. Natural aristocrats, they choose everything with care.
Negative Tendencies
These people may possibly be snobs, feeling quite elevated from the masses. Communication problems, rudeness, snubbing, ignoring warning signs, and thoughtlessness are all possible here. Being detached can extend to emotions and they may in fact be the very distant sort, a kind of social loner. While craving attention and often getting it, they are at times not overly concerned with the real world and must beware of losing touch with reality. Leadership abilities can cut two ways and these people can possibly lead others astray, sometimes into serious trouble, if they are not centered. In fact, such potential daredevils may sometimes invite dangerous situations, possibly feeling above it all. These people may at times be on top of the world—or in deep trouble.
