Aries  +  Ox  =  Hippopotamus

Naturally people misunderstand the energy of hippopotamus creatures as well as the individuals who possess this primal spirit. The key to comprehending these people is realizing that they have dual personalities. Many hippopotamus spirit people are generally passive among their own or when they are comfortable, but can explode in a destructive mode when pushed or provoked. These people desire success and are very hard-working. Due to their impulsive tempers when upset, it's important to strive for balance when it comes to their judgmental views and actions. Relations with people can rather difficult for many. When a hippo spirit individual is able to relax, they can actually be fun to be around. Yet, when they are in a bad mood, it is a heavy task for others to burden and people keep their distance.

Hippos desire high profile careers that allow them to accumilate a lot of material success. Many would be wise to realize that the best professions are those that they can work independently, where they don't have to answer to superiors. Hippos are naturally authorative and great at managing people while maintaining emotional distance. In matters of personal romance, Hippos have particular ideals of love and often get married, start a family, and engage in serious commitments later in age. During their youth, many are off being adventurous and securing their well- being. For those of you pursing a hippo spirit, be patient and let things naturally flow. Eventually, they will come around and provide an active, stable connection.
