In your dealings with people you place great importance in living up to one's word. Other fields always look greener, with the result that you experience a great deal of dissatisfaction with your present circumstances. Family and friends find it hard to understand you because of your changing moods, and because of your intolerance and indifference towards their ideas, interests, and feelings. Any criticism from others causes you to retaliate cuttingly in self-defense. Although you are not demonstrative of your feelings in family relationships, you maintain a strong sense of loyalty. You expect as much from others in return but find, either through misunderstanding or lack of principle in others, you are often let down, leaving you feeling bitter and betrayed. However, independence, positivity and the urge for action and progress are such strong forces in your nature that you find it difficult to control them. You are happy and in good spirits as long as headway is being made, but as soon as you feel obstructed or your individuality and freedom of action are curtailed, you experience an intense nervous reaction in your solar plexus. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering. In order to gain greater congeniality in your personal associations, you need to cultivate a more relaxed manner, greater generosity, understanding, and tolerance, and, above all, you need to avoid being too outspoken and self-opinionated.
