People born on October 23 run on high-octane energy. Life is exciting when they are around because they seem to create a maelstrom around whatever situation they are in. Others admire their lively charm, intelligence and courage, but may sometimes wonder why they seem to want to make life so difficult for themselves.
These people have a low boredom threshold and they find themselves drawn to conflict, excitement and tension as ways to challenge themselves. Others may find this need to stir things up inexplicable but to these people it is simply the way they love to live. For them, life on the sidelines or life that has settled into an easy routine, no matter how successful or enjoyable, isn’t a life worth living. Their compulsive zest for stimulation and ambition for improvement forces them to make groundbreaking advances or—if that’s not possible—to experience or learn something new.
Above all, they need to be active, and even the calmer people born on this day will find that during times of crisis they really come into their own. Before the age of thirty they are likely to be concerned with issues of personal power; because there is a tendency for them to cling possessively to power when they feel they have earned it, they need to make sure power and control do not go to their head. After the age of thirty there is a turning point when they are likely to become even more adventurous, and they will have a strong desire to expand the horizons of their life. It is important in the years that follow that they find a balance between their need to test and challenge themselves, and their need to seek stability and harmony.
Whatever path in life they choose, change and instability will always be a feature. Once they understand, however, that they don’t necessarily need a crisis to feel alive, their ability to respond instantly to stimulating opportunities for growth and improvement makes them among the most independent, progressive and compassionate individuals of the year.
