They are in fact extremely independent and innovative individuals, bursting with new ideas and energy.

All of this only makes sense when the bigger picture of their lives is taken into account, and in this bigger picture is a pronounced desire to organize and direct others toward their personal goals or ideals. To some this may appear manipulative but to people born on this day unpredictability is an empowering tactic to strengthen their personal and strategic position; when applied to their professional life it can be extremely useful.

Whatever age they are, they should make a huge effort to reveal more to others because, although outstanding professional success is assured, personal success is more elusive until they can connect more honestly and openly.
