• All that stored energy needs to be used up through physical activity in their normal as well as work life. Any place that needs them to go by a rule-book and not think is not for them. A place which lacks risk is, by nature, incompatible with their vibe.
• They are also symbolized by a duality in their nature. They can be fast, full of brimming energy and initiation but also immature, impulsive, doing things without a thought of how it will pan out long-term, as well as cunning.
• The balance between maturity and immaturity, and initiation and actually completing the work, lacks.
• Their best way forward is to try and build a level of consciousness in their daily interactions and regulate their impulsive behavior. Their cunningness might turn around to bite them some day.
