Vitality
You are basically down to earth and practical. You generally possess a great deal of patience and quiet ambition. Once you have decided on a course of action you can work hard for many years, enduring many setbacks, to achieve what you have set out to do. This will often be an achievement that meets with conventional standards of approval, but even if your life-style and goals are not so conventional you'll still need to see some sort of material or tangible result for your efforts.
There's also a tendency to take life too seriously, and you may have little patience with those who take a more laid back approach to life and love. Remember to loosen up a bit every now and then, so that you can enjoy life here and now.
Habits
You're emotionally very sensitive, perhaps to the extent that you hide your feelings behind the hard shell of the crab in order to prevent your feelings from being hurt. However, when they are hurt, the pain lingers for a long time.
You can be rather tenacious and possessive in relationships and may find it difficult to let go when necessary. You may also occasionally have difficulty in outgrowing emotional patterns that are the result of past conditioning and experience, particularly your relationship with your mother. The family instinct may be powerful, possibly to the extent that it may lead to clannishness. You need to be needed, and to be able to express your emotional needs with someone else.
Self-identity
Prepared to stand up for your own rights, you're able to work extremely hard to achieve goals and ambitions. Your decisiveness enables you to take control of situations and act on ideas as soon as they're formed. You try to excel in whatever you do. However, restrictions on your freedom will not be tolerated.
Mentality
Your thinking is generally grounded in the here and now, and concerned mainly with the need to provide material necessities. You're capable of concentrated and methodical thinking, especially if it's directed toward some ambition or goal, to which you can apply your mind with a great deal of perseverance and discipline.
The way you communicate with others may also occasionally be influenced by practical considerations, or with a view to attaining some goal or ambition. There can be a tendency toward pessimism if things don't work out as you thought they would, but your persistence will usually pull you out of it.
Capacity for love
You have an adventurous spirit in your approach to relationships and you need a large degree of freedom to explore your needs and feelings. You're somewhat impulsive and ready to follow your emotions without fear.
You're not afraid of love, but you may occasionally be hurt by others who aren't as open and sincere as you are. Whatever happens, you'll never lose your high standards and integrity. You may become wiser and more mature but you will always be ready to trust in your emotions again.
Driving force
The more aggressive side of your character should generally be well controlled. This doesn't mean that you won't ever lose your temper or do anything on impulse, but you have the capacity to channel your energies into working for long-term goals and ambitions, even if it means a certain amount of self-denial or sacrifice to achieve them.
