Soul mates:Dec. 29
To those who do not know them well, those born on June 29 present something of an enigma, for while their love of fun, quirky sense of humor and great imaginative powers place them in the “extroverted” cat- egory, their formidable organizational powers, stead- fast—and often stubborn—tenacity, and tendency to keep their deeper emotions to themselves endow them also with introverted characteristics.
These are indeed complicated personalities, whose joie de vivre, particularly when in the company of others, often masks a profound need for periods of solitude in which June 29 people can explore the abstract world of concepts and dreams which exerts such a strong hold over them. When they are suc- cessful in reconciling the diverse facets of themselves, June 29 people can achieve considerable material success. Reflecting also their relish for interpersonal contact and their need for personal autonomy, they are, in many respects, best suited for careers in the fluid realm of arts and design.
Despite their social orientation, it can be difficult to get to know these people, for when they are in the company of casual acquaintances they generally hold back the essence of their real selves. This propensity toward privacy is the result of their great sensitivity, which may cause them to become beset with feelings of insecurity, and they typically hide their emotional vulnerability behind a misleading façade of bravado. Yet within their established relationships (ie. with those whom they have come to trust) those born on June 29 usually display enormous commitment, affection and loyalty.
