You may feel instinctively connected to your heritage and traditions as well. Security is your top priority. You may channel your emotions into your work and use business and financial matters to cope with emotional ups and downs. As much as this can be a productive outlet for you, it can also be a convenient distraction.

Throwing yourself in to work to avoid dealing with deeper feelings can cause you to become isolated from others and work against your priorities when it comes to nurturing family relationships.

You can be deeply sensitive but hide this behind an objective exterior. You try to keep order and discipline as a way to maintain control and avoid crises. You can be empathic but will try to stifle your deeper feelings.

Your intuition is strong though you tend to be most trusting of physical senses. You appreciate discipline, order, rules and structure.

You may feel like your emotions are being tested or that you have had a more difficult path but rather than feeling bad about this, you wear it as a badge of honor. You believe hardship contributes to your strength and expect others to feel this way as well.

Though you are compassionate, your practical way of dealing with emotions can make you appear detached to those around you. It may come across as if you are harsh but this is because you believe that some times tough love and difficult experiences are necessary teachers. You emphasize the practical and look for productive ways to deal with emotions.
