When you are relaxed and free from stress, you can present your vision clearly and persuade others to see things from your perspective. When irritable, however, you may need to overcome a tendency to be cynical or fault-finding.

Others enjoy the company of people born on this day, who enliven any gathering with their vitality, humor and goodwill. November 18 people are in turn stimulated by those around them—not least because they enjoy being the center of attention. Beneath the cheerful face that they present to the world, however, confusion and self-doubt abound. These intuitive people are receptive to any unhappy “vibes” that emanate from others, and susceptible to the unsettling influence of their emotional responses. Thus they may feel directionless, a tendency that is pernicious to active individuals whose ultimate fulfillment is bound up with their desire to achieve progress (on behalf of themselves, as well as others). This is why, in their search for fulfllment, they are so strongly oriented to others, and also why they make empathetic friends, colleagues and companions, for in sublimating their own needs to those of others they are often able to clarify their thoughts and feelings. The conjunction of their sensitivity with their yearning to effect their own individual growth and life goals augurs particularly well for the potential success of November 18 people as artists, musicians and writ- ers—even as spiritual guides—as well as innovators in a variety of fields, including science and technology. While they assume positive and charismatic personae when engaged in their professional endeavors, it is within their personal liaisons that their insecurity is most apparent, and they therefore place enormous value on receiving the support and affection of their loved ones (and even more so if they were also born in the Chinese year of the goat), who know and accept them as they are and thus bolster their self-esteem.
