Heads turn when the larger-than-life personalities of people born on October 12 enter a room. They are determined to have their opinions heard and, if speaking loudly won’t do the trick, they are not above resorting to outrageous tactics to get the attention they feel they deserve. Although they are attention seekers, they have a heart as expansive as their head, and their tantrums are just as likely to be on behalf of others as themselves. It is this curious mixture of wholehearted generosity and extreme self-indulgence that makes them such complex individuals.
This combination of characteristics can manifest itself in a number of different ways for people born on this day. Some may subordinate their pleasure-loving and sensation-seeking side in their dedication to serving others in an imaginative way, while others may be more non-conformist individuals with their own inimitable and expansive way of engaging with life. Common to them all, however, will be their infectious appetite for life, and their desire to inspire and invigorate others by their own passionate example.
Until the age of forty-one there will be an emphasis in their lives on emotional change, power and transformation. During these years their chances of success and happiness will improve significantly if they can learn to become less addicted to attention or the desire to seek a reaction from others, and become more focused on their personal ideals and goals in life. After the age of forty-two there is a significant turning point which will stimulate them to expand their perspective; they may, for example, have more contact with foreign people or places, or take up a new interest.
Whatever age they are, however, the key to their psychological growth and fulfillment will be their ability to take the feelings of others into account. Once they have found a balance between giving and taking, they will find that the reaction they provoke in others moves beyond surprise to respect, and in some cases awe.
☆ On the dark side：Selfish, attentionseeking, outrageous
☆ At your best：Dramatic, warmhearted, exciting
