You can be mentally inhibited or too tied to traditional thinking and may be unnecessarily rigid in adhering to discipline and observing law and order. You may have dental and/or hearing problems and shouldn't smoke. This aspect is good for big businessmen and politicians. You tend to work excessively and are too concerned with trivial details.
