Life Lessons
These people need to learn to be more assertive, should try to be more outgoing, and need to learn to make their dreams a reality.
Positive Tendencies
These people are the height of receptivity. They are great at passive accomplishments and artful at “doing without doing.” These people develop, plan, and process inwardly, thus changing the outer world. Quiet a lot, alone time is very important for recharging their batteries. They have sublime communication and humor. They are very attuned to the unconscious, dreams, and the psychic realm. They are natural mystics and adept at channeling spiritual information; yet they are almost completely detached from the day-to-day grind. These are great workers who, once directed or motivated by another, can accomplish amazing things. They are very pragmatic, dealing with what is in the real world, not projecting far into the future or spending a lot of time asking “what if.” These are also exceptionally moral people who teach by calm example, who do good without a lot of fanfare, and who are empathic, sensitive, and deeply feeling. They are also very earthy people, who love and need nature, gardens, forests, and parks. These are humble, self-effacing people who “work in mysterious ways.”
Negative Tendencies
These people are at times passive to the point of absurdity. Sometimes they are perceived as lazy, directionless, self-absorbed, and/or inattentive, though these things may not be true. These are people who are sometimes known for being “spaced out” a lot because they can be so involved with daydreams and inner dialogs that the real world seems unreal. At times, these people have real trouble starting things. Very soft and gentle, they can also be weak in many ways. They can sometimes be manipulated and taken advantage of, and at times may be paralyzed due to poor self-confidence or by overwhelming sympathy for others. Feelings of paranoia, listlessness, and/or depression are possible. Such people must be careful with their psychic abilities; they are very open.

Life Lessons
These people need to learn how to be more of a “self-starter." to reduce the amount of complaining they do, and to work on patience.
Positive Tendencies
Not easily discouraged, these people stay the course and (after much difficulty) emerge the victor. They must be reminded to go farther, to push, and when they do, there’s a breakthrough. Personal growth comes in stop-starts, crises, and epiphanies. These are strong people, noble even, heroes and heroines in their own eyes. They have strong follow-throughs when on a roll. When aware, they let things flow in such a way as to create success. This person is constantly surrounded by chaos! They are energizing, exciting, creative, and educational. From this primal brew can emerge almost anything, so they must focus on the project at hand, on one or two things at most at a time. They easily gather interesting and supportive friends and co-workers around to help focus, organize and follow through on all the exciting ideas and energies they bring forth. These people have very important self-realized principles at the core of their character. If held on to tightly, these will carry them through even the stormiest time.
Negative Tendencies
These people can be very chaotic; they may have trouble coping with reality and can have difficulty beginning projects or making important decisions. These are people who may need an outside stimulus, a kick in the pants, as it were. They sometimes moan and groan too much, see problems as insurmountable, get frustrated easily, and may tend to abandon people and projects over problems others don’t see as critical. They sometimes hold on to too many things, especially hurts and insults. Sometimes these people feel helpless and out-gunned.
