Given to feelings of insecurity, they need to feel loved and protected. They prefer a quiet life, and like neither confrontation nor making important decisions. As such, they are not suited to a career in business, and are more suited to arts, crafts and creativity.
In love, they can be romantic and gentle, but occasionally also bossy and unwilling to work hard for the relationship. They do not dare to express their love openly.
