things up to the point of creating division instead of understanding. There is a possibility that deep understanding of duality can also lead to a kind of schizophrenia, a dividing instead of a uniting. At time open and peaceful to the point of obsequiousness, these individuals can be classic wimps, people who are limpid and lethargic with no real force. There is also a “holier than thou” attitude that may surface in these truly harmonious people; no one likes to be preached at, and any reforms or changes, no matter how necessary, can anger people when tact is ignored.

Life Lessons
These people need to simply do something (anything!) sometimes; they need to trust their intuition more and should seek out the strange and exciting things in life.
Positive Tendencies
Generally, these people are very balanced and persevere through all difficulties of life. They have the rare gift of being able to separate things clearly and distinctly. This means they can separate feelings, ideas, problems, and so on in order to clearly see the components of a given relationship or problem. This makes them excellent judges, very analytical as well as objective. These people may encounter many problems, but they try, and try again—persistent individuals. These are people of high moral character, people who give good advice. They never seeks the spotlight, refuse unnecessary praise or flattery, dislike scrutiny, and are naturally quiet, thoughtful, and reserved. Humble, these people don’t like a lot of glory. They may do much work without getting credit for it. They can approach things from many different angles. These people are very solitary in many ways and may have very different parts of their psyche pulling them in opposite directions, but this just means that they can be very empathic, really understanding people. These people work best alone; they are often very self-disciplined, and while they may not outwardly be very powerful, this is deceiving in that inwardly they are very intense individuals. These are very nice and sweet people, as well.
Negative Tendencies
At times these people can be of two minds, and this kind of paralysis can affect many aspects of their lives; the urge to do and the urge to not do are often at war. Such people can be stuffy, vindictive, stagnant, misunderstood, unproductive, blocked, and/or mistrusted. These thoughts of others may not be their fault, but they can be perceptions. These people often get overwhelmed by choices and so don’t do anything. They can sometimes be something of a nerd, a mild person who can be low-energy, maybe a little dull at times.

Life Lessons
These people need to learn to chill out more, need to watch what they say to others and really learn to let go of things.
Positive Tendencies
These people are the center of the community, political people in the sense that they personify the general mood or group-mind, at that time, of their community.

These people will either be gifted leaders or superb followers, people who grasp the goals of the group and are key to making sure they come true. These are individuals who can easily have their act together, probably being motivated to watch and pursue to success health, diet, day-to-day jobs, committed relationships, and so on. Beneficent and idealistic, they are often the most important people in a group, company, or organization. They love to entertain and often get things done in the sense of getting people of different viewpoints to agree and work things out.
Negative Tendencies
These people can be too aggressive, even sometimes offensive. Words like loud, abrasive, and pushy are sometimes used to describe them. They can be natural leaders and, if motivated by negative ideals, use this to cause great harm in the community. They are skilled at facilitating but sometimes will not take no for an answer or let things drop when they should. These people may like to gossip and chat about others and often watch people. They know a lot about others but can also be manipulative and get into cliques. These people tend to adopt the views of others and might need to focus on their own ego outside of the group. Such individuals can be insecure without the tribe about them.
