People with problems are drawn to him as they recognize him as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance. He has a generous quality to his nature, but he must guard carefully against giving more than he receives or he will find himself doing without because he has helped someone else. He loves people, family, home, and friends and try to be a parent to the whole human race. While he have generally stable conditions in his personal life, he may experience some problems in business affairs through a tendency to be scattering and inattentive to details. Any health problems would show as tension in the nervous system brought on by worry.
