Winter People

Winter people are endowed with strong willpower and purposefulness, yet with a certain pronounced self-love and stubbornness. They are always confident in what they do, so it is hard to knock them off balance.

The stubborn character, unwavering conviction of their own rightness, and inflexibility cause problems in family life. Moreover, they are not among the most talkative - discussing and talking through a problem is not in their nature. Winter people are silent and ponder everything deep within themselves. Words for them are empty air; winter people prefer to prove themselves through deeds.

Winter people are said to be too mysterious, subtly unfathomable. They do not boast of their successes and victories, nor do they lament their losses. Winter people are able to conceal both their acts of kindness and some misdeed in such a way that it would not even occur to anyone to blame the quiet and courteous winter person.

Winter men are rough and can sometimes even act cruelly, but this is mainly not out of ill will but rather out of their unpleasant nature, which causes them inner suffering. Winter women have an equally firm character and fearless nature. They can be blunt in their expressions, always ready to throw the truth straight in someone's face without fear of seeming insensitive. They head straight for their goal, regardless of any obstacles.

"Winter people are hoarders, but not misers. [..] They keep everything that might come in useful someday. That is why drawers fill up with worn-out linen and holey socks, bookshelves with old magazines, kitchen shelves with empty tins." /quote from Māra Svīre's "SOTTO VOCE"/
