Talented innovator
The influence of your birthday indicates that you are a creative and optimistic Libra with a quick mind. Friendly, sociable, and imaginative, you can be charmingly assertive and have a need to be popular. You are adaptable and versatile; however, you may have to be careful that your many interests do not cause you to scatter your energies or be indecisive.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Gemini, you are expressive and a good conversationalist. The combination of your persuasive speech and dynamic charm ensures that you are usually skillful at making contacts and influencing others. Easygoing, you have an interest in human relationships and are good at dealing with people. The more doubting side of your nature, however, can cause you to worry or hide your feelings from others to protect your sensitivity.
Attracted to the creative arts and with a strong need to express yourself, you like to surround yourself with beauty or may even develop your innate artistic or literary talents. With a love of style, luxury, and the good life, you would be wise to guard against social excesses or overindulgence in any form. Fortunately, you are blessed with the grace of natural compassion that enables you to empathize with others. Developed, this gives you a humanitarian and altruistic desire to be of service. Nevertheless, with your warm heart and charisma, you may need to be careful that your social life does not take over your responsibilities.
From the age of four onward, when your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, you experience a growing emphasis on emotional change, personal power, and regeneration. A turning point occurs at the age of thirty-four, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, indicating that you become more adventurous and freedom-loving, possibly desiring to travel or seek more education. After the age of sixty-four, when your progressed Sun enters Capricorn, you become more rational, sensible, and discerning, with a realistic point of view.

Proud, with a natural dramatic sense, you prefer to be in a leadership position. With a good sense of values, you are quick at assessing opportunities and evaluating people. This business sense, combined with a pioneering spirit, can help you achieve success. If you lose faith, however, you may be likely to become insecure or temperamental, which can cause you to place too much store in material power and status.
With your restlessness, you can become bored easily. This implies that you need to find activities that stimulate or challenge you, and persevere with them. Although at times you may suffer from a conflict between idealism and the mundane, usually variety and change can inspire you to become motivated and mobile.

A powerful entity and results-oriented force, all about initiating action and getting things done. Ambition and humanitarianism are two of the characteristics of the number 19 birthday.

The influences that govern their day of birth endow October 19 people with a complex set of personal characteristics which they may spend their lives strug- gling to reconcile. Although they are sensual individ- uals who seek to find happiness in the simpler things in life, such as beauty or personal relationships, they are also inquisitive, reluctant to accept conventional truths without having first analyzed them to their own satisfaction. Simultaneously peace-loving yet prepared to fight for the causes in which they believe, they of- ten feel torn between defending the status quo and battling to reverse injustices or promote their visions. Perhaps the single most striking quality manifested by those born on this day, however, is their desire to benefit the social group with which they most strong- ly identify by means of their independent discoveries or actions. Energetic and determined individuals who do not shrink from taking a contrary stance if they believe it to be right, they are natural leaders and in- novators, whose talents and inclinations equip them admirably as scientists and artistic pioneers.
Despite their social orientation and propensity for acting on behalf of the greater good, October 19 peo- ple may appear to be somewhat solitary figures. This is in part a result of their jealously upheld prerequisite for personal autonomy, and the inevitable product of their uncompromisingly direct approach, which may at best intimidate, and at worst incur the enmity of those who feel themselves threatened. Yet when they are fortunate enough to enjoy unquestioning tolerance and love, their softer, profoundly protective, affection- ate and generous side emerges, particularly if they were also born in the Chinese year of the ox.
