People born on July 4 tend to identify strongly with groups and organizations, be they their family co-workers, local community country or even humanity as a whole. The creation of shared human bonds and goals is extremely important to them, and they will often dedicate themselves to defending people’s wider interests.
Whatever path in life they choose, they will be at their happiest when they are surrounded by those who are working toward a common goal. Ironically though, for those so focused on communal identification, they are also quite private individuals and prefer to keep their own feelings to themselves; opening up to others won’t be easy for them. Despite their reserve, it’s no coincidence that these people were born on US Independence Day. Their dedication and loyalty are matched only by their courageous spirit and desire to defend and protect those less fortunate. They are also extremely intuitive, but because this gift can make them feel as if they are different they may choose to repress it or only reveal it to those who know them well.
In the years leading up to the age of eighteen they will be concerned with home, family and security; after they age of nineteen they may find that they are increasingly drawn into public positions that require strength and confidence. During these years they should guard against inflexibility and uncritical belief in their cause. After the age of forty-eight they enter a new phase which brings practical issues to prominence, and they are likely to become more analytical, observant and methodical.
If they devote themselves to a cause that is worthy of them, they have the potential to rise all the way to the top, helping others rise to the top with them. The opposite is true if they make the wrong choice, so learning to make the right choices and decisions will be their major challenge. They will, however, be able to make the right choice with ease if they work with their intuition, investing time and energy to listening to their inner voice.
☆ On the dark side：Biased, demanding, stubborn
