Once you commit yourself, you are dependable and persevering. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. You start new endeavours and incorporate new ideas, but seldom if ever receive the full benefits and financial accumulation for your efforts. Excessive affection embarrasses you and you do not appreciate being the target for endearing words, not that you do not value them, but your self-conscious traits make it difficult for you to know how to respond. Being extremely independent and capable, you learn through your own experiences and you like to work on your own or in a position where you are responsible for making decisions and directing the efforts of others. Being staunch in friendships, you are not easily influenced by the opinions of others. It is seldom easy for you to change your opinions about matters. When focused, you forge ahead despite obstacles to accomplish your goals. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection.
