The trick is to stay open-minded and not allow ageing to make you so mentally respectable you forget that children's eyes are sharper, their laughter often dirtier, yet with all of this they have a kind of searing innocence.

October 3 is a born parent. If this creature doesn't have its own children, others will discover they make the perfect godparent, beloved teacher or mentor. Unlike so many people, they seem to talk the same language as children. Catch them involved in intense bits of nonsense which delight both equally. They can play endlessly and find as much pleasure in what they are doing as their small companions. Watch this Libretto enjoy his cornetto with the same gusto as his childish playmate, both getting as sticky as each other.
This person never takes the opportunity when a child - or adult for that matter -enters a room, to tell it something. They are not forever instructing, ‘Can you put the milk bottles out? Empty the dishwasher? Tidy up your toys?’ They don't dress children in white cardigans and shirts and then harass them if a drop of orange ice lolly gets onto it. They don't have food fads where children are concerned. They don't stop them watching television because it means they won't read. They let them watch television and then do a lot of reading with them because both find it fun.
Much of this is because October 3 remembers as a child that he or she just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the sky. Or idle pleasant hours away dreaming. And somebody was probably always after them to be up and at it. Naturally capable of being competitive, they don't regard competition itself as vital to character building.
Both sexes therefore make excellent teachers, children's club organisers and such occupations as theatre productions are always the most fun and successful. Any sport they get involved in, particularly teams, create a brilliant atmosphere. They make the best kind of social worker, observant, responsible, intelligent and never giving in to hysteria or fads. And always giving that secure feeling of being on a person's side.
With your airy Sun sign, your tendency is to rely more on your mind than on your feelings. For you, a spirited conversation or debate can be as stimulating as a passionate sexual encounter. Nevertheless, you’re incurably high-minded and as prone to falling in love with a romantic ideal as with a flesh-and-blood individual. Although one part of you yearns for a permanent life partner, the other part prefers playing the field to a serious long-term commitment. Consequently, you may go through a string of romances before finally settling down with Mr. or Ms. Right.
Even in your love life, you may find yourself trying to choose between your idealistic dream of perfect union and the enticing prospect of exciting new sexual experiences. For you, any successful relationship begins with a meeting of the minds. Your quick wit and fluency with words make language your most powerful means of seduction. Being able to talk things over with your companion is your number-one priority. More than anything you want a partner who is on your wavelength.

The trick is to stay open-minded and not allow ageing to make you so mentally respectable you forget that children's eyes are sharper, their laughter often dirtier, yet with all of this they have a kind of searing innocence.
Self-expression is your forte, and you’re a superb conversationalist and storyteller. Although you know a little about a lot of things, you give the impression of being deeply knowledgeable. A fast study, you swiftly absorb the pertinent points of new subjects. Your agile mind makes it possible for you to field questions with clever, off-the-cuff remarks.
