People born on February 16 have the ability to transform even the most difficult of experiences into something positive. There is a touch of the alchemist about them in their ability to see the bigger picture, bring together all the relevant information and cut right to the essence or truth of a situation.
It is likely that people born on this day have at some point in their lives experienced some form of upheaval, trauma or setback. Whatever the nature of this was, they have taken it in their stride, learned from it and grown stronger. The positive side is that it has given them great confidence; even if they sometimes appear quiet on the outside, underneath one can sense an inner strength and brightness. They also have an astute understanding of others and how the world works; rarely, if ever, do they miss a trick. The downside is that they can sometimes appear cold and detached, and their bluntness or impatience with the weaknesses of others may come across as arrogance. Others may at times resent the imperious manner that these people possess, but more often than not people end up admiring their cleverness and ability to know exactly what to say, what to do and how to do it.
If they can learn to control their bossiness, their tremendous capacity to be realistic and intuitive, both in their assessment of others and their own abilities, makes them potentially great leaders. Around the age of thirty-four there is a turning point when their ambition and focus take center stage. It is particularly important at this point in their life that they become more conscious of their emotions, rather than masking them with a bossy or imperious manner or, in some cases, with emotional reserve and detachment.
When people born on this day are able to strike a balance between their inner and outer life, they really are capable of striking gold both personally and professionally, which is after all every true alchemist’s dream.
☆ On the dark side：Arrogance, blunt, detached
☆ At your best：Realistic, intuitive, confidence
Those born on February 16 are spirited individuals, courageous and demonstrative, who bring life to whatever they take part in. They admire spontaneity and dislike plodding, measured or constrained behavior. Also, they instinctively recognize that flexibility is at the essence of life and that hardness and stiffness, an inability to change, presages that which dies away. The themes of birth, rebirth, foundation and innovation—in short, beginnings of all kinds—are central to their lives.
However, once something has been brought into existence, it may well need to be maintained.
Here a problem arises, namely the fact that when things are not going well, February 16 people can grow very discouraged and perhaps unable or unwilling to go on. But though they are not long-suffering individuals, concluding a relationship, a job, or life process can also be very painful for them for the simple reason that they are not the most skilled at bringing things to a close. This is particularly true when it is a process or endeavor which they themselves have created or implemented. It is therefore important that February 16 people find the most graceful way to effect change in their lives, whether bowing out of a job or ending a relationship.
They are quite capable of quitting endeavors abruptly, of simply getting up and leaving right in the middle of things, especially if they feel powerless to make a meaningful difference. Those born on this day may well be correct in their appraisal of a losing proposition and the need to move on, but can benefit by keeping the bridges they cross standing, not for the purpose of going back, but perhaps to allow for past associations to be a part of their future. February 16 people must learn to round off some of their rough edges, and to not only bring fluency and grace to what they do, but also to who they are as people and how they interact with others.
February 16 people display a positive orientation toward life, much evidenced in their love of children and animals. That which is uncomplicated, honest and direct is greatly admired by them. Those born on this day usually have a fine balance of masculine and feminine qualities, and consequently can be equally close, and comfortable, with both men and women.
To the extent that friends and associates remain in touch with the life principle, February 16 people can be very accepting of them, regardless of their background, class, or politics. Yet, on the other hand, those born on this day can be hard on individuals who in their eyes are acting dictatorially, condescendingly or arbitrarily, particularly in regard to weaker living things. In such a situation their protective instincts can flare up abruptly in anger. Though in general these strong reactions to injustice may be warranted, Febmary 16 people may have to be careful not to go too far when expressing them.
Power Thought：Today I will seek to praise rather than criticize，Death is as essential to life as lift itself
Those born on the 16th day of the month are ailed by the number 7 (1+6-7), and by the watery planet Neptune. Those ruled by the number 7 sometimes fail to follow through on their ideas and in extreme cases can get out of touch with reality. Neptune (also the ruler of the upcoming sign. Pisces) is the planet of dreams, fantasies and religious feeling, which coupled with the uranian influence of their sign (Aquarius) can spell instability tor February 16 people. Those born on this day must resist the tendency of many ruled by the number 7 to throw caution to the winds where money is concerned.
The 16th card of the Major Arcana is The Tower, which in one version of the Tarot shows both a king falling from a lightning-struck tower and the builder of the tower being killed by a blow to the head. The Tower symbolizes the impermanence of not only physical structures but also of relationships or vocations in our lives. The positive elements of the card include overcoming catastrophe and confronting challenges; however, the Tower cautions against rising unjustifiably high and risking destruction at the hands of one's own invention. Thus February 16 people are directly reminded by the Tarot to beware of overreaching themselves,
