Strong desire to communicate thoughts and feelings verbally
They also need to be sure that others have understood their message and can see their point of view, even without agreeing with it
Frequently hard to figure out; emotionally complex, they combine sharply contrasting qualities in their psychological makeup
They may give an entirely different impression than in another, according to their mood: may strike one person as outgoing, another as retiring, one as positive and expansive, another as negative and depressive, and still others as easygoing, others as difficult.
Only those who really know them can begin to understand and appreciate their depth and diversity
Surprisingly sensitive, deeply empathic; they quickly pick up on the feelings of others, so much so that they may mistake such feelings for their own
If they do not pick up on this early they can find themselves enacting other people's 'scripts' and playing a role in life's daily drama that is not really their own.
Because they are so at the mercy of feelings of others as children, they generally cry out for protection. Even when protection is granted, they may spend a lifetime seeking out people to mother and nurture them; HOWEVER, if those born in this week are instead exposed to tough and unsympathetic treatment by their families and, later, by the world, they are capable of surrounding themselves with a virtually impenetrable shell.
This results in a great deal of pent-up resentment and frustration that will need to be voiced before they are able to ease their hurt and trust again.
Very clever about getting their way
Naturally aggressive, difficulty sublmating this instinct into a positive expression
They can swing from angry outbursts to repression, which often leads them into melancholia, in extreme cases, their anger can be self destructive.
Capable of withdrawing from the world for months or even years, doing battle with themselves.
Professionally they often do well when self-employed, operating from a home base.
Should they choose to have children, the caring and nurturing aspects of their personalities augur well for their abilities as parents
They can be difficult to live with, those who love them will recognize the signs of self-torture and be hardpressed to back off and let them work through it
Patience is an obligatory virture for those who seek to engage in a relationship with them
They can be extremely persuasive, at times too much so.
Advice: "Don't armor yourself too heavily--on the other hand, remain discriminating. Allow others the freedom to take risks. Though your salesmanship may be excellent, it is not always appreciated. Don't only challenge your fears--overcome them through self-liberation and action."
