February 5 people are often much admired by others for their fluently competent manner and apparent capacity to undertake any task with effortless ease. Yet life is no easier for people born on this day than for others—it is just that they have cultivated a calm and efficient external manner to mask their internal difficulties. The smooth façade that they present to the world may conceal a deep-rooted sense of insecurity, however, which—particularly if they are women— they strive to resolve by seeking the admiration of other people. Perfection, however, is not a natural human condition, and not only will they find this ideal impossible to achieve, but they run the risk of driving others away by their unrealistic demands or intimidatingly lofty manner.
Their hypersensitivity is perhaps the key to Febru- ary 5 people, who respond instinctively to the moods of others. Their twin qualities of intuition and mental farsightedness may, however, cause them great emo- tional anxiety, which they will suppress with a pol- ished veneer that falsely indicates control. Indeed, the combination of their desire to be seen in the best possible light and their perceptive intellectual powers may sometimes lead them to offer practical help over the emotional support that is perhaps more valuable to others and which, moreover, they also crave for themselves. Their unusually diverse personal talents make them naturally well-rounded, with the poten- tial to excel in either the arts or in academic or scien- tific pursuits. They generally work better as part of a team or cause, where they can simultaneously satisfy their need for human contact and utilize their flair for administration and management.
