Inherent in the characters of those born on this day is a mixture of conflicting qualities. On the one hand, they’re perfectionists who seek to improve upon exist- ing circumstances, and on the other, sensation-seekers who are stimulated by the lure of the new. Depending on their personal make-up, these essential characteris- tics may be in equilibrium or may combine to produce either staunch and judgmental traditionalists or intel- lectually and physically reckless types. Common to all, however, will be their strength of conviction and de- sire to influence others. Blessed with powerfully per- ceptive and analytical minds, those born on this day are rarely willing to accept the conventions of others without question, but instead feel compelled to think through and reach their own conclusions. And, once convinced, they will defend or promote their view- points with vigorous tenacity.
The combination of their social orientation and independence of thought fuels those born on this day with the urge to lead by example, particularly at work. Thus although they may derive great personal satisfac- tion from their career pursuits, their ultimate intention is to further the advancement of humanity. Many are therefore suited to educational careers, while others may seek to communicate their findings by means of more subtle artistic expression, or by effecting scientific or technical innovations. Yet despite their profound desire to enlighten and instruct those around them— especially those closest to them, whose affection is so vital to their emotional balance—their nearest and dearest may either feel neglected as a result of their more global concern with others, or become the unde- serving victims of their critical pronouncements.
