Like most people whose names begin with the judicious and justice-loving letter J, JRD people are awash in common sense and exhibit an old-fashioned sense of honor and homespun values. The dignified, dapper, and disciplined letter D has an equally traditionalist influence on these names, but the appearance of the red-blooded letter R -- the symbol of all things raunchy, racy, randy, rapturous, ravishing and robust – means that JRDs aren’t as conservative as they might lead you to believe.
While you wouldn’t exactly call these people charismatic, JRDs engender near-universal respect from those that intersect their lives. They are uncommonly well-meaning individuals with a sense of justice that draws people into their realms, but you shouldn’t mistake their kindness for sympathy: these are goal-oriented people who believe that others should take care of themselves.
JRDs shine in jobs that reward concentration and attention to detail. They’re quite content to work as accountants, bankers or lawyers, and even if they harbor secret desires to take off and join a circus, they’re far too responsible to do anything of the sort. As long as they feel they’re making a contribution to society, they’re not particularly fussy about their working conditions either. Sure, they’d love an office with a window, but they’d happily trade it for a little appreciation or a nice fat raise.
Things aren’t as straightforward when it comes to the JRDs’ relatively cool romantic styles. Their social inhibitions prevent them from making the first advances to a prospective partner and they’d rather spend the night alone than risk rejection from someone they’re interested in. So don’t be disappointed if your JRD lover isn’t the type to light your fireworks every night; they’re just a little on the old school side and wouldn’t want you to think they’re being aggressive. That’s why JRDs are notoriously choosy about to whom they give their hearts, and why it wouldn’t be fair to characterize them as cold. The only thing cold about them (in matters of romance) is their feet.
Children will truly be welcome additions to the JRDs’ lives, as it gives them an opportunity to show off just how dependable they are. But because JRDs aren’t micro-managers when it comes to other peoples’ lives, they tend to be hands-off parents who will allow children to explore for themselves. Even when their children make mistakes they’re going to have to draw their own lessons. JRDs are providers, not babysitters.
