Neil and Njáll are secretive, shy, anxious and reserved, to a degree that they could seem distant, or even aloof. However this couldn´t be further from the truth. They just tend to adopt a cautious and wary attitude when they find themselves in unfamiliar situations. They may give the impression that they are impressively in control of their emotions; and could even be described as serene. In reality, they are actually quite nervous, although they do their best not to let it show on the outside. They loathe exaggerated demonstrations of emotion almost as much as they hate deceit and superficiality. They tend to be more or less on the defensive, and their lack of spontaneity is offset by virtues such as reliability, honesty, and stability, with a background of conservatism, ritual and rigidity. As children, Neil and Njáll are well disciplined, composed and in search of security. They are very sensitive and conceal their emotions behind a calm and poised exterior. Bashful and slightly awkward, they could attempt to take refuge from the world in books and their school work. It would therefore be advisable for their parents to provide as much stimulation as possible and make sure that they feel secure, whilst encouraging their sociability which may be underdeveloped. Despite appearances, they are extremely complex creatures who are characterized by opposing tendencies (the 4 and the 5), one patient, organized and security-orientated with its feet planted firmly on the ground; and another that is impatient and disorderly, seduced by change, novelty and adventure... The former is likely to be predominant if they have a birthday on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st or if they have a life Path Number of 4.
Neil and Njáll are freedom-loving souls, and as much as they welcome change, they nonetheless require continuity. They are not indifferent to the material realm - on the contrary they enjoy money and are more or less self-serving, thrifty and conservative. They can be slightly obsessive in certain areas, tend to be meticulous and don´t appreciate anybody interfering in their business, or touching their belongings. They can be extremely possessive in love as in friendship, as well as highly selective and uncompromising: it generally takes quite some time to gain their trust. Although they can lack imagination at times and are not particularly expressive or affectionate; to give credit where it´s due, they would certainly never dream of shirking their responsibilities.
