In full

Warmth kept hidden until they know someone well. Deep loyalty to ideas and to people. A personal vision, ideals defended with passionate conviction. A life governed by inner ideals they rarely speak of. Tenderness masked by quiet reserve.

Tolerant, open, understanding and flexible day to day. But if they sense something threatening their inner loyalties, they won’t give an inch. No interest in impressing or dominating.

Main interest: glimpsing possibilities beyond the obvious. Most effective when they believe in what they do. Wants the work to contribute beyond the paycheck. A perfectionist about what matters.

Curiosity about new ideas. Intuitive flashes, long-term vision. Literary interests, good expression. Risk: the contrast between what they aspire to and what they achieve breeds guilt and inferiority. They need to express their ideals, or the ideals corrode them.
