Friendly but territorial describes this Aquarian succinctly. At first, people find you approachable and chatty. Then, over time, something else surfaces — aloofness and a fierce protectiveness toward your personal turf. Others must be warned: This defensive side is a very sturdy wall.

Beyond that one dark cloud you're very hard working, relatively controlled, independent (yet people oriented), and surprisingly witty. As long as people respect your space, everyone could potentially get along fine! Unfortunately, there's still the birth number of 7 to consider, which stresses aloofness and detachment, making it all the more important to watch boundaries.

Careerwise you would do well to stick with small offices or self-employment to avoid that natural conflict over whose way is the right way. Other alternatives include any positions where you get plenty of alone time (like research). And don't completely overlook the arts — song writing, for example!

Your most difficult lesson comes in love. You want to give and receive love, but don't know how to make a space for others. You often become quiet and removed, feeling overwhelmed. With this in mind, it's best to have a home environment where there's one room just for you to inhabit when you need personal space.

Gift idea: a weekend getaway at a private cottage or cabin.
