Desire and imagination occupy the same ground, so the native wants things in a diffuse and highly coloured way and is often unable to say plainly what they are after. Action follows mood and atmosphere rather than decision. Given a cause, a piece of music or a person to serve, the output is extraordinary and tireless; given a form to fill in by Friday, the same person becomes strangely unable to begin. Physical stamina fluctuates without medical explanation, and is closely tied to belief.
Assertion is the weak point. Anger is felt as guilt almost immediately, so it is rarely delivered and instead leaks out as lateness, vagueness, illness and quiet non-cooperation. Boundaries are poor in both directions: the native takes on other people's troubles as though they were their own, and helps themselves to sympathy they have not quite earned. This conjunction is also the classic signature for the deceived and the deceiving, frequently in the same episode, since the native's own account of events is the first casualty. Alcohol and sedatives are a recurring hazard.
Because the two do not naturally cohabit, the conjunction needs an external structure and a genuine object. Dancers, sailors, nurses, film-makers, healers and religious workers carry it well, all trades where effort is directed at something larger than the worker and where the schedule is set by somebody else. What ruins it is self-employment without deadlines. The single most useful discipline is naming the want out loud, in plain words, to another person, since a desire that has been stated can be pursued and one that has only been felt cannot.
