In common with most Aquarians, February 6 people have a profound need for liberty, not necessarily in the physical sense—although these people may be restless and have a love of travel and sporting pursuits—but more crucially in their intellectual pursuits and dealings with others. They hate feeling constrained by the demands of others and will rarely thrive in tightly run organizations or in relationships in which they feel that too great a level of commitment is being required of them. That having been said, they will often display remarkable focus when they find a topic or person that intrigues them, and will be driven by the almost irresistible urge to investigate further. For this reason they show a special aptitude for scientific research, into which their willingness to anticipate the unexpected and explore new avenues will be profitably channeled. More artistically inclined February 6 people may find similar satisfaction in the realms of music and literature.
Ironically, given their fiercely independent outlook, people born on this day prize the approval of others. This desire for popularity is generally not motivated by the desire to have their talents recognized, but rather by a more emotional craving to be cocooned by the love and admiration of those around them. Since they are intuitive beings, they will absorb the prevailing mood of the company within which they find themselves, and are prone to reflect it—a policy which may endear them to others in the short term, but which may ultimately gain them a reputation for inconstancy. Even so, others frequently feel affinity and enthusiasm for these people, and may elevate them to positions of leadership.
