He is quick-tempered and stubborn. This temperament might cause many problems which prevent him from progressing in life. He is not likely to accept other people’s advice. He may make impulsive decisions for the sake of principles without looking at the situation in its entirety. This may land him in trouble. He has to curb his anger as it may cause him to alienate even people who helped him, by creating problems for them or not treating them well. Relations will not extend any help to him. On the outside, he seems to be very proud but those who get close to him will see a different person. He should avoid drugs and alcohol as he lacks self-control. If he gets addicted it may mar his personal and professional lives.

Before 50, he will face many trials and tribulations in life. The period – from the 18th year to his 26th – will be very difficult. Things will begin to change from the 27th year onwards though it will be slow going until he reaches 50.
Family and Relationships
