The specificity of your personality can be summed up by your nostalgic yearning for your roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Your power is linked to memory.

As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security. Despite your sensitivity, and your ability to be genuinely virtuous, you are not always gentle. Your outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, your stubbornness, slow insistence, and

You are happiest when you have an outlet for your sense of grace and beauty. Social and sociable, you commit yourself to your relationships with total devotion and will expend a great deal of energy to keep the vessel on an even keel and mend wounded feelings.
