The steely ambition of those born on this day is often marked by the easy-going friendliness and sociability that characterize their approach to their interpersonal relationships. This latter quality may manifest itself in the realm of the arts—to which their great sensitivity renders them inherently sym- pathetic—or in the business or commercial world, to which their innovative ideas and practical skills suit them. Although some strong-willed July 17 individuals are motivated by the desire to achieve personal success and thereby win admiration and acclaim, others are more focused upon bringing about improvements for the societal group to which they have the closest affin- ity (their families or countries, for example). In all their endeavors they prefer to surround themselves with like-minded teams rather than acting as sole agents (despite their marked independence of thought and innovative individuality). When enlisting the assis- tance of other people, they typically make good use of their intuitive ability to pick up on their emotions and thus adjust their approach accordingly.
Although their professional fixity of purpose may lead July 17 people to adopt a somewhat manipulative stance toward their coworkers, within their personal lives they are generally relaxed and deeply affectionate toward their nearest and dearest—this is particularly true of the men born on this day. Indeed, it is when the pressure to achieve is off that their humor and tal- ent to entertain come to the fore, for these individuals derive genuine pleasure from their ability to bring hap- piness to those they love with their joie de vivre and generosity.
