They may run into trouble by taking on more than they can deliver. They enjoy conversation and socializing, and a tendency toward aimless daydreaming is common with this opposition.

If they pursue advanced degrees, they may study religion, culture, or philosophy, sometimes lacking the practical skills needed for daily life and drifting toward escapism. They may view themselves as clever, but under pressure they can become flustered and struggle to express themselves in arguments, often losing their train of thought. They have difficulty keeping secrets and tend to exaggerate their opinions at the most inappropriate moments.
