Autumn People

Autumn is usually associated with maturity, and so it is - autumn people stand firmly on the ground and are grown-up in their judgements. They do not drift in clouds of illusion; they can see and accept the harsh reality of life. Autumn people are good calculators, quite pedantic and deliberate.

Autumn people are diplomatic and principled; they are diligent and industrious, always holding to their firmly formulated views. Things go well for them, aided by a clear mind and balanced character.

People come to autumn people for advice and simply to cry on their shoulder. They value loyalty and are loyal themselves, which is why they usually form strong marriages.

Autumn people value beautiful and good things, whose worth does not fade but grows with the years. They value relationships in the same way. A woman will not expect parfum de Paris from an autumn man - he gladly breathes in the scent of clean skin. Showy accessories and conspicuous jewellery seem to an autumn person like superficiality and throwing money to the wind. He is reluctant to lend - not because he is stingy or lacking in means, but because he does not want to lose friends, as he never forgets a debt.

Autumn people are lovers of art, or there are many actors, philosophers, and architects among them.

"Among people they are laughers and chatterers. Let others listen and envy: how nice to glide through life so easily! And others come without a twinge of conscience with their worries and heap them upon the autumn person. If it happens that he breaks like a bridge under excessive weight, everyone is astonished: how so? Because they do not know that the autumn person already had his own weight on his shoulders like a brass bell, which he did not ring so as to appear to possess an eternal Indian summer." /quote from Māra Svīre's "SOTTO VOCE"/
