Transition metal · element 29
Copper
Warm, conductive, and the reason your phone works.
5.0% of people are Copper. (estimated)
If you're Copper
You carry energy between people. Warm, generous and easy to work with, you connect everyone around you, and you age into something even better looking.
Copper was the first metal humans ever worked, and it turns green over time, which is why the Statue of Liberty isn't brown.
How to get along with Copper
Do
- Let them connect you to people; it's their gift.
- Enjoy the warmth and return some.
- Give them time; they age into something better.
Don't
- Don't take the conductivity for granted; energy flows both ways.
- Don't polish off the green; it's earned.
When it goes wrong: They don't spark, they heat up slowly and go green with resentment. Rub it out early.
