Strengths

emotional courage, penetrating insight, loyalty when trusted, strategic mind, transformative presence

In Love

All-or-nothing. Demands emotional honesty and physical depth. When trust is earned, intimacy is unmatched. Betrayal is unforgivable.

Psychology, surgery, investigation, finance (the non-public side), research. Anywhere shadow material is faced rather than avoided.

In Spirituality

The shamanic path — death and rebirth, repeatedly. The willingness to look at what others avoid.
