In negative walnut condition you are sitting in a boat, you can already see the other shore but the anchor is not yet raised. You are internally stressed and unstable and run the risk of being distracted from your decision by external influences.

One lets oneself be unsettled by consideration for family, social conventions and the opinions of others.
