You likely have a brilliant and lightning-fast intellect. Your original thinking can lead to discoveries or new ways of doing things.
However, you may also be seen as quirky or eccentric and prefer the company of other unusual types.
You have the potential to be a genius, but must channel your mind into productive work to avoid problems like anxiety or conflicts.
Unexpected happenings can leave you feeling tense and scattered. You'll have a low concentration span and be easily distracted.

Challenges
- Inner confusion and insecurity
- Egotistical self-image
- Erratic inner activity
- Changeable beliefs
- Rejecting compromise
- Blunt expression
- Unreliable to others
However, underlying your brilliance, you likely feel inner confusion and insecurity. You project an egotistical self-image to hide this vulnerability.
This results in erratic inner activity and changeable beliefs. You insist your statements are valid, even when directly contradicting yourself. You have difficulty compromising or admitting you're wrong.
Your blunt expression and seeming unreliability means relationships may suffer. You appear misunderstood and use this to justify rejecting social compromise.
Growth Areas
To grow with this aspect:
- Acknowledge and work on your challenges
- Compromise and participate as an equal
- Dissolve the egotistical facade
- Accept inner vulnerability
- Find your true center
- Increase sensitivity and diplomacy
Acknowledging your challenges is the first step, even if you deny them. Admitting you aren't always right allows you to compromise and participate as an intellectual equal with others.
Dissolving your egotistical facade and accepting inner vulnerability helps you find your true center. You can then increase sensitivity and diplomacy in communication.
This reduces inner tension and erratic energy, redirecting it towards self-renewal.
