You are a person who revels in your past, using it as a source of both inspiration and power. The power of memory can be either static or dynamic, depending on how you view it. You inhabit the present, which draws sustenance from the past, but your consciousness can also be anchored in the past, immobilizing you in melancholy and nostalgia. You are relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings, and social status. However, because you are also sensitive, you may be easily offended and have short temper. You are attached to your family in general and your mother in particular, and the way you transition to adulthood and independence will be crucial to your well-being.
