What they're like

You live to nurture and to feel emotionally safe; belonging and home are at your center. Beneath your hardness lies a deep sensitivity, a fear of rejection/abandonment, and a tendency to hold on to the past. Your defense is the shell: withdrawing, sulking, speaking indirectly. Your growth is to set healthy boundaries, to express your needs openly rather than indirectly, and to be able to release old wounds.

In love

You love deeply, protectively, nurturingly; when you trust, you give your whole heart. Emotional security comes before everything, and you long to build a home. Your risk: "mothering" the one you love too much and retreating inward when hurt.

At work

You shine in work where you can look after people and use your intuition; you're the glue that holds a team together. A safe, warm environment = your highest performance.

With money

You save by instinct, putting aside for a "rainy day"; you spend for security. Your warmest and smartest investment is home and family.

Body and health

Linked to the stomach, chest and digestion; your emotions speak directly through your stomach and appetite — you may experience stress by "eating" or as heartburn. Your remedy: expressing emotion rather than suppressing it, eating regularly and calmly, and a safe sense of "home."
