Caution and realism are his virtues though George limits himself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in himself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness. Others find George Gershwin difficult to get to know intimately, as Gershwin tends to distance himself from them or to outwardly adopt a rather stern, "adult" demeanor.

He is serious and sincere about his interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. George wants his inspirations to become reality and he does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. George Gershwin becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and his occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree.

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues.
