nature is rugged and ambitious. You are fortunate in matters maritime
and surgical.It is particularly important for you to take care of your health when you
are in stressful situations. This is because there is a general sluggishness
to your energy which is prone to disease when you are under physical
and emotional pressure.You are a Water Sign, which means that you are “cold” and “wet.” The
“wet” component means, among other things, that you blur distinc-
tions, and that you are more swayed by passion than by intellectual
argument. At your worst, you see too many connections, becoming lost
in conspiracies. At your best, you spot the connection that everyone
else missed. You are perceived as being “cold,” which in your case sim-
ply means you may not be quickly reacting on a surface level. In the
modern parlance, it fits better with “cold and dry” than with simply
“cold.” However, a “cold” type is basically lethargic, or slow to react.
Here we have an interesting apparent contradiction: your emotions run
deep, but that doesn’t mean you’re talking about them all the time!
The quiet quality of “cold” may mislead others about what you’re feel-
ing. The “problem” with “cold” is that it makes it hard for you to forget
slights. Because you don’t tend to lash out immediately, it’s hard for you
not to allow your anger to build up.You are fixed, which means you are strong-willed and stubborn. You
will want to hang onto people and things long after they have ceased to
be useful to you. (Courtesy of J. Lee Lehman, Ph.D., copyright 1998
