They do not submit to others authority easily, and especially not by force. A subtle persuasive tactic is needed to direct their energies. Trying to force them or get them to change direction too fast can result in the opposite results as wished. They can at times show a lack of emotion and may have great difficulty with the impulsive intuitive and practical earthy energies inside them. They may be having great dreams one moment, only to shoot themselves down the next by not seeing the plans happening in a practical way. However, if they can bring these energies together in harmony and see the practical application of their wild and bid ideas, they can reach uncharted heights. They are highly strategic in thought and action and can overcome seemingly overwhelming odds and are guided by an unerring instinct. They tend to be masters of thought and preparation and are normally not in a hurry to see immediate results.

Learn to bring your passionate energies in balance with your practical energies. Learn to wait a little. Even though you are yearning to do things for others, let them do it for themselves unless asked. And let others do things their way even if they make mistakes. Mistakes are how we learn. Bring some feelings to those around you.
