The natives born during this sun sign love justice but are moderately sympathetic to others. They are discriminating, analytical and critical. They are intellectual and practical. They have clarity in their thoughts and strong ratiocinatory powers. Mentally they are cool headed and even balanced, but when aroused, slow to anger and slow to cool down. But they are not vindictive. They are shy. But social intercourse, this shyness may wear out, in the course of time, but this streak remains imbedded in the texture of their psychological make up. They prefer to work quietly in seclusion.
