Such is their originality, their speed of thought and their prodigious energy that people born on this day sometimes exhaust their less mercurial companions. The whirlwind of activity that they create around them is driven by their darting curiosity and compulsion to act—characteristics that, if focused, may lead them into uncharted realms. Lacking such focus, their relish for discovery and variety may cause them to bounce from one enthusiasm to the next, often spending vast quantities of money in the process. Indeed, if bored, they tend to lack staying power, dismissing an unstimulating project or relationship as unworthy of their attention. They should make an effort to curb this impatience, especially in their personal lives in which, because of their flighty behavior, they may be seen as superficial and unable to reciprocate profound emotions.
Yet despite their sometimes inconsistent image, February 4 people do harbor great emotional depths: the level of their empathy with others, or the strength of their humanitarian vision, will often manifest itself in a stubbornly brave refusal to be deflected from their position.
When February 4 people are truly fired up by a cause they will pursue it with fierce intensity and such a tenacious sense of purpose that others may label them eccentric. They will fare especially well in the artistic field, where their idiosyncratic blend of sensitivity and originality will be accepted and appreciated, but their potential may generate success in any professional area they choose, as long as they remember the importance of self-discipline.
