    * Life lessons:

   These people must not lose sight of the forest for the trees; they need to learn that all things are one and that they should become a bit more forceful and stubborn.

    * Positive tendencies:

   These are naturally wise people.  They work hard to be just, value harmony, and strive to nourish all the people around them.  These poeple have amazing bursts of new energy; they separate the old and tired from the new and prospering, encouraging fruitful new growth, push projects in the right direction, regulate and control their lives, and generally create a cooperative environment.  Very peaceful and relaxed, these people work on steady evolutionary growth for all people.  An exellent mediator, they are very in touch with their yin and yang, their inner male and female selves.  This unleashes great potential wisdom and understanding.  Good at counseling and healing, they are adept at balancing all sorts of feelings, emotions, and deeds.  They can analyze things in detail and are able to separate into their distinct components so as to later unite them in a productive manner.  Whether working with people, paper work, ideas, or handiwork, these people have the gift of being able to weed out negative elements, reorganize the structure of something, and then renew and rebuild it so that it is better and more prosperous than it was.  This can also apply to relationships, which they are great at constantly renewing and revitalizing.  Contemplative and very open, these people are natural "alchemists" who, to make a long story short, can combine opposites into a harmonious whole.

    * Negative tendencies:

   These people can get lost in analysis, dividing things up to the point of creating division instead of understanding.  There is a possibility that deep understanding of duality can also lead to a kind of schizophrenia, a dividing instead of uniting.  At times open and peaceful to the point of obsequiousness, these individuals can be classic wimps, people who are limpid and lethargic with no real force.  There is also a "holier than thou" attitude that may surface in these truly harmonious people; no one likes to be preached at, and any reforms or changes, no matter how necessary, can anger people when tact is ignored.
