The quest for discovery is extremely strong in many July 31 people. Although they are primarily fueled by an urge to further their own learning and understanding, any progress made by these individu- als will usually also contribute significantly to the store of human knowledge since the topics that especially interest them are typically global in their scope— human psychology, for example, abstract political or economic theories, or even the as yet unrevealed secrets of the cosmos. Indeed, these are not the types to isolate themselves in the ivory towers of academia—they much prefer active modes of investigation, such as directing the activities of teams of researchers, and, once they have achieved a breakthrough, will rush to share their triumphs with the wider world (often with as much accompanying razzmatazz as possible). This highly developed concern for exploring every facet of human existence, combined with their extremely logical train of thought and their tenacity, suits those born on this day for investigative careers of all types—as academic researchers, scientists or journalists, for instance—but also as teachers, for they possess a powerful desire to utilize their findings to help others.
Despite the deep devotion and magnanimous toler- ance that characterizes the nature of July 31 people’s affection for those closest to them, they may not always enjoy the stable and harmonious personal lives that they crave. Part of the problem may result from their tendency to throw themselves whole-heartedly into their work, which—despite their prodigious physical vigor—may leave them with little time to spare for their friends and families.
