Poor October 23 suffers from Paradise Syndrome. It's a mysterious new affliction which affects the supremely talented and successful. ‘You get it/ says PS sufferer millionaire rock star Dave Stewart, ‘when your world is going absolutely fantastically well and you feel so inspired you think you must be ill. Everything you have possibly wanted to do in life, you can do, so you think there must be a catch.'
Nonsense, rubbish? Nonsense, of course it's not rubbish. It's that feeling when you are extremely happy, that everything's too good to be true, and like poor Adam, just one bite of the wrong golden apple and it'll be Paradise Lost. October 23 is very blessed, half meteorite, half peachette with no stone for a heart and it's the squishy side of his and her nature that lets him down. This person just can't believe his luck and thinks it must all go away as quickly as it came, even if in reality it's been a long time coming.
At work we know she'll make ludicrous sums of money out of an original idea, from marketing tomato ice cream to, in her hypochondriacal case, chic hip medicine flasks (popular with the ancient Chinese). Outside work she'll marry another fantastically rich, exquisite person and they will live happily with the number of children they long for - or not - and everybody's mother, sister, dad, granny, brother and auntie set up with swimming pools for life.
But the PS symptoms persist. With money there's a tendency to throw it away, tempting fate. There'll be absurd extravagances October 23 knows are foolish and doesn't really want, like £2000 spent on a too-skimpy-for-her/him Jasper Conran jacket and dress. And £50, 000 on flowers for her birthday do. With friends there's a tendency to lend too much. With lovers there's a tendency to give too much, like a gold card, no strings.
Those celebrating birthdays today are stubborn, passionate, and rarely indifferent or indecisive. Like all fixed sign natives, once you make up your mind to do something, it is almost impossible to get you to change it. Although you crave sexual fulfillment as much as any other Scorpio, what you really want is a mate you can talk to. At times you feel torn between a desire for freedom and a yearning for a committed relationship. When you find Mr.
or Ms. Right, you’ll pledge your undying devotion. Until then, you prefer keeping your inner self hidden behind a mask of mystery.
You may not be particularly romantic, but you are very idealistic. To your way of thinking, sex is meant to be a transcendent experience. However, your bedroom mood tends to swing back and forth between extremes of hot and cold. You’re more inclined to surrender to your primal desires when you feel comfortable with your bedmate. Once trust is established between you, your lusty libido keeps the erotic fire burning. You have a psychic-like understanding of what your partner likes, and you’re happy to provide it.
This is not meant to stoke up the PS, but while we're here let's take a paranoid look at the latest mobile phone health scare. Some Australian research has shown that human brain cells called glials are damaged by exposure to microwave radiation emitted by mobile phones and that cancer cells grow faster. Other research in Sydney suggests the phones could promote asthma. British doctors are investigating temperature rises in the brain and the possibility that mobile phones could lead to hot spots developing, increasing the risk of Alzheimer's. Current advice is to hold handset away from the head, and not talk for long.
Taking reckless chances with your significant other turns your wildest fantasies into spicy realities. A look passes between you during a party, and you sneak off to an unoccupied room or a parked car to make love. The erotic thrill increases in proportion to the likelihood of getting caught by your friends (or relatives) in a compromising situation.

Originality, lateral thinking, and the inclination to do things your own way are the hallmarks of someone born on this date. Capable and self-motivated, you see what needs to be done and you do it. With your unique approach, people tend to think of you as either an innovative leader or an eccentric individualist.
