The letter J is the icon of all things to do with justice: judgment, judicious, jury, Jehovah, jail, and Jupiter, the head of the Roman Gods. It is also usually associated with all things conservative, deep-thinking, and sober-minded. But when names, such as these, are terminated with a vowel or the playfully youthful letter Y, it usually indicates people whose traditionalist leanings have many of the lighter aspects found in the words: joy, jelly, jaunty, juicy, jolly, and jazzy. These are well-balanced individuals who, for all their serious underpinnings live their lives with style and buoyancy.
J men and women are outgoing individuals who aren’t going to allow themselves to be sidetracked by such trifling things as reality. It’s not that they’re flighty, mind you, for they have a very keen sense of how the universe works and of their places within it. It’s that they adamantly refuse to kowtow to the expectations placed upon them by society. Their engaging sovereign spirits prove to be quite infectious and many people quietly admire the Js’ resilience and independence.
If you have any J friends, you can be confident that they’ll always have something good to say about you, even when no one else is willing to sing your praises. But they aren’t above poking fun at your foibles either. Still, most people don’t seem to mind, because their sense of humor is the self-deprecating kind where they’ll laugh at themselves too.
Like most people whose names begin with the letter J, Js are people with strong spiritual centers. And even when their philosophy doesn’t translate into conventional religious beliefs, will have strong connections to the earth and all living things (except certain people). The trouble is that because Js go out of their way to avoid conflict, it’s not easy to pin them down. If you want to change a J’s mind, arguing is not the way to do it. The best thing is to do is to show them that you have their best interests at heart and they’ll pretty much fall in line.
When it comes to their intimate relationships the Js’ primary goals are to have fun and explore their partners’ emotional construction. Js tend to mellow with age, so any initial problems are likely to dissipate over time, and in the final analysis, their marriages last longer than most. Many people report that J mates are spontaneous and passionate, but not particularly over-sexed. Perhaps this is a symptom of the Js’ tendency for being overly cautious when the stakes are too high.
