Emotional Needs and Triggers

These people tend to patronize anyone who submits to their influence. In politics, they may show a tendency toward dictatorship, preaching the power of force and an 'iron hand.' As rulers, they can be autocrats and despots, though they are driven by an innate sense of justice, which usually does not harm subordinates. They tend to exceed their authority. Vronsky notes that such people are often involved in speculation and gambling, and their competitive spirit leads them to sports arenas. They love secrets, so they often engage in secret activities that can later bring high status and material well-being.

Relationships and Compatibility
