Thus you are someone who is an observer of mysteries of life, a seeker of wisdom. You are pretty much a natural researcher.
You tend to work better when you have extended periods of time alone—sometimes even longer where you are a full-on hermit.
In fact, it’s better you work alone.
Similarly, when Pythagoras once said, ”Those who desire wisdom should look for it in solitude.”
At times, your views and values are mysterious to others, as your quest for knowledge has changed the beliefs of your early life and has helped you connect with your divine nature.

However, if you ever feel the well has dried up, then you need to find another source of life to satisfy your curiosity and to expand your knowledge.
You are not a fan of anything trivial or superficial. And you don’t like to be under anyone’s watchful eyes.
Anyone who invades your privacy, which you guard like a lioness that guards her cubs, is not anyway welcome.

So, naturally you are frustrated because you don’t understand why others don’t find the solutions.
Also, since you can spot when there is something wrong, your perfectionism can turn you into a critic that craves perfect results—instead of being open to the good of the situation.
So it would be best if you guarded against being skeptical in life because others have disappointed you or because of emotions from a previous life experience.
Your strong personality requires you to balance your powerful energy with playfulness.

When you do get out of alignment, know that you are a channel for light and love without conditions on how or what way that wisdom should channel through you.
Sometimes a break away from the matter at hand is the solution.
