Those born on this day are on a constant quest to realize an ideal—be it to find their soul mate, to create the perfect work of art, or to implement a fault- less technical process or a revolutionary social system. Although their desire is primarily driven by their emo- tions, they typically marshal their highly developed intellectual powers of perception and analysis, as well as their formidable capacity for organization, in the pursuit of their aims. However personal the vision that fuels July 16 individuals, it rarely has a selfish purpose, for they combine their remarkable ability to identify abuses of power with their profound feelings of empa- thy for those suffering the ill-effects. Thus their yearn- ing to employ their energies as significant agents for change is usually ultimately directed toward bringing improved circumstances and happiness to the lives of others. Their talents and inclinations suit them partic- ularly to the arts—where they hope their innovative work will provide spiritual inspiration and solace to a wider audience—but they may also choose to help others by becoming social or religious campaigners.
Unfortunately, their Utopian ideals may doom them to disappointment, with the result that they will often adopt a façade of emotional robustness to protect their vulnerability and propensity for becoming depressed or frustrated by deeply felt setbacks. The emotional ties they form with those nearest to them are especially val- ued for the unquestioning support and belief that they offer. It may, however, take them some time to find a life partner—the result of their tendency to project a romantic ideal onto those who may not wish to be cast in such a role.
