Their personality is gentle and refined. They are warm-hearted, straightforward, and often well-educated, with a natural love for learning and intellectual pursuits. They value knowledge, wisdom, and cultured conversation, enjoying spaces where they can share ideas and insights.
However, their sensitivity makes them emotional and sometimes changeable. Their moods may fluctuate, and they can feel restless if life lacks stability or if they become overly influenced by others’ feelings. This emotional depth can be both a strength and a challenge, depending on how it is managed.
They are deeply home-oriented, placing strong importance on family ties, domestic comfort, and stability. They prefer a calm and secure environment over risk-taking or adventurous pursuits.
Caution and meticulousness also define their approach. They think carefully before acting, and while this helps them avoid mistakes, it can sometimes lead to perfectionism or being overly particular about details.
