There could be a strong resistance to the old ways of doing things and they don’t hold back with how many ways it doesn’t work. They are normally curious, observant and tolerant, but here we find them being clever or witty in a demeaning of controlling way.

There is a strong sense of ego which may create a point of view that is more self-centered. Facts and figures may be exploited to manipulate others into believing your point of view rather than what’s the actual truth. Experiences or memories may be recalled differently than what others remember. Reality tends to be skewed to fit your imagination rather than simply being what it is.
