threat. Far from being easygoing and appeasable. In reality, he can be
sharp, sufficiently aggressive, and persistent. Can hold a grudge and be
sufficiently resourceful to make the life of his ill-wishers become
intolerable. Has a contrasting and unpredictable character. With those
whom he loves can be kind, tender, even sentimental. Possesses a sense
of humor, that easily molds into sarcasm and caustic irony. Talkative,
charming, witty, critical and sharp. Likes epithets and slang
expressions. His movements are springy and fast. Gait is somewhat
waddling, with knees slightly bent, which yields a stealthy feline
semblance. Has a characteristic evaluating gaze with slight squint.
Usually looks after his health, periodically takes up physical sport,
exercise of gymnastics. Dresses expensively and with taste. Most often
he makes a bright impression of a self-assured and prospering person.
Character
Insistent, energetic, resolute person. While trying to achieve his
goals, he acts both directly and through intermediaries. As a rule, he
is capable of becoming the winner. Knows how to manage people, can
impose on them his wishes and will, to involve and draw them in by
useful and interesting projects and tasks. Knows how to be liked and how
to please others: charming, possesses a sense of humor, a good
conversationalist. Natural leader: needs competition, struggle, passion,
victory, without these his vitality wanes. Boredom is his first enemy.
An absence of decent employment and application of his abilities makes
him quite a difficult partner.
He is oriented at achieving major concrete goals, but often runs into
difficulty when trying to choose them. It takes time for him to get
going, he doubts, thinks things over again. But once he makes a choice,
he acts swiftly, amping up his pace and not resting until he has
realized the conceived. A very resourceful and flexible tactician.
Active and operative, in periods of elation his capacity for work is
very high. Doesn’t like unasked for advice, prefers to make decisions
independently. Can hear out his conversation partner, but leave the last
word to himself. Doesn’t tolerate commanding tone in others. If someone
tries to pressure him, he resolutely counters it. In the interest of his
business, shows diplomatic abilities, be considerate and courteous.
Dislikes it very much when others show initiative that seems to be out
of place, for example, try to impose something or hurry others - in this
case, can do the opposite. Very self-loving and easily offended, but
tries to hide it, considering this to be his weakness. Doesn’t forgive
tactlessness and injustice towards himself. This can provoke a flash of
aggression in him.
Insightful, witty, has a critical turn of mind. When angry shows
intolerance towards other people’s shortcomings. Knows how to give a
brief and succinct description of a person, to ridicule him in presence
of strangers, to put him on the spot. Actively asserts his interests,
and those of his loved ones. Can create an unfavorable environment for
disagreeable people, but for those whom he loves, he tries to provide
the necessary comfort, showing care and attention.
Feels proud of his successes and seeks high valuation of himself. Has a
tendency to overestimate his abilities, which leads to arrogance and a
wish to teach others. Self-instilled confidence in his own rightness and
insufficient self-criticism do not simplify his relations with others.
Respects people who are influential and authoritative. Lenient and
forgiving towards those who are compliant, soft and vulnerable, in need
of help, especially towards children. Often provides them his protection
and support. Nonetheless, he is strict, even harsh both at home and at
work.
Very stubborn and demanding. In personal relationships with difficulty
adjusts to his partner, as he is rather uncompromising. Using willpower,
can make himself subdue feelings to reason. Proud and independent. It is
often unpredictable in his actions, depends on the changes in his mood.
Changes his interests and his hobbies often, but his affection tries to
keep for a long time. Cherishes old friendships, although he usually
doesn’t show sentimentality in his relationships.
Strives towards high material level of life. Has a good aesthetic taste,
gourmand, cannot deny himself that which gives him pleasure. Bold in
sex, but mistrustful of love, afraid of being deceived in his hopes or
to get lost in wishful thinking. Quickly grows tired of monotony: he is
attracted by psychological games with a partner, when hope interchanges
with doubt - in this lies an element of excitement for him.

Prefers to remain in the shadow, not showing his aspirations, but
constantly holds his hand on the pulse of all that is happening around
him. Outwardly appears balanced and phlegmatic. Before acting, checks
all the variations of possible consequences, and only then enters into
the game. Distrustful, careful, skeptic, conservative and realistic. Due
to his low sociability makes an impression of being introverted. Once he
has identified a target, acts slowly, by the method of “slowly
compressing ring”.
