These people need to learn how to be more of a “self-starter." to reduce the amount of complaining they do, and to work on patience.
Positive Tendencies
Not easily discouraged, these people stay the course and (after much difficulty) emerge the victor. They must be reminded to go farther, to push, and when they do, there’s a breakthrough. Personal growth comes in stop-starts, crises, and epiphanies. These are strong people, noble even, heroes and heroines in their own eyes. They have strong follow-throughs when on a roll. When aware, they let things flow in such a way as to create success. This person is constantly surrounded by chaos! They are energizing, exciting, creative, and educational. From this primal brew can emerge almost anything, so they must focus on the project at hand, on one or two things at most at a time. They easily gather interesting and supportive friends and co-workers around to help focus, organize and follow through on all the exciting ideas and energies they bring forth. These people have very important self-realized principles at the core of their character. If held on to tightly, these will carry them through even the stormiest time.
Negative Tendencies
These people can be very chaotic; they may have trouble coping with reality and can have difficulty beginning projects or making important decisions. These are people who may need an outside stimulus, a kick in the pants, as it were. They sometimes moan and groan too much, see problems as insurmountable, get frustrated easily, and may tend to abandon people and projects over problems others don’t see as critical. They sometimes hold on to too many things, especially hurts and insults. Sometimes these people feel helpless and out-gunned.

Life Lessons
These people need to learn to not get so excited so often. They should work at getting more perspective and on maturing in some areas of their lives.
Positive Tendencies
These are enthusiastic people bubbling over with new ideas, a million interests, and a lot of humor. Young at heart, they never seem to get old-fashioned or stodgy. Always ready to try new things, new ideas, new food, and meet new people, they love to argue, explore, challenge established taboos, and shake things up. They are brave people who seem fearless in dangerous situations, the first person into the burning building, often laughing. They often have a new perspective on things. These are persistent people, almost to the point of insanity, and are usually intensely curious. These people are good talkers, loquacious and witty, and deep only on occasion. They are the life of the party, fun people who bring energy to every undertaking. They are enthusiastic but possibly roaming lovers, people who act sometimes as if they never really grew up. They are people who relate to and love playing with and helping children. Almost too enthusiastic spiritually, these people learn and advance quickly under the wise supervision of a spiritual teacher or guru. In almost all areas of life, they do very well with teachers and supervisors who can direct their almost endless energy and verve.
Negative Tendencies
Enthusiasm can lead these people into trouble, even if it's just to irritate others. This high energy level can lead to overzealousness, even fanaticism, especially if one is shallow, which these people can be. Such people may be impetuous, off-the-top-of-the-head, and generally flippant about some serious things. The key negative is, possibly, immaturity and naivete. Not meaning any harm, these people can sometimes be a bull in a china shop, destroying projects and relationships, hurting feelings and chances, all without knowing what happened: a true innocent fool. They can also be overly dependent and, if the urge takes them, willing converts to a cult or master of any sort. They may need to question more and to foster independence.
