Extrovert introvert
Mentally sharp and with the gift of persuasion, you are a Libra with charm and excellent people skills. With a need to be different, you are likely to project an attractive appearance and be drawn to original individuals. Being expressive and a shrewd observer of human behavior, you shine in social situations. Appreciating art, music, and creativity, you need to be surrounded by beauty, style, and luxury.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Gemini, indicates that you are intellectually quick and able to impress people with words, either verbally or in writing. Being a good speaker and enjoying a debate comes from your ability to be decisively outspoken, yet diplomatic. You may have to be careful, however, that your humorous and cutting wit does not turn into sarcasm.
Having much to gain from cooperative efforts and partnerships, you particularly profit from personal contacts. Being provocative or manipulative, though, can lose you the many benefits of creating harmony and balance in relationships. Very determined when you have a goal in mind, you are capable of inventive and original achievements. However, you may need to protect your highly tuned nervous system to avoid becoming irritable or stressed.
From very early in your childhood, your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, emphasizing your growing awareness of emotional change and personal power. A turning point occurs at the age of thirty-three when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, indicating that you may wish to expand your horizons or travel. If education becomes a focal point, study of philosophy, psychology, and law can be beneficial. You are also likely to have more contact with foreign people and places. After the age of sixty-three, when your progressed Sun enters Capricorn, you become more practical, sensible, and prudent.

There are typically two sides to the personalities of October 20 people: their artistry, evident in their aesthetic appreciation, sensuality and creativity; and their harder, more judgmental qualities. Those born on this day accommodate both propensities within their daily lives, perhaps indulging their artistic tastes in relaxing pastimes and pursuing more conventional careers or, if they are especially talented, earning their livings as professional artists, writers, designers or ar- chitects. Whatever career they choose, however, their highly developed visual and analytic powers generally play an important part in their success, as do their ob- jective and independent turn of mind and their desire to make a significant contribution to humanity. Such personal characteristics and inclinations equip these people for a wide range of professions, from scientific research to politics and social campaigning, or from sporting activities to business and commerce.
Despite their twin enthusiasms for sensory and intellectually stimulating exploration, those born on this day are rarely maverick types who give them- selves completely over to self-indulgent activities; on the contrary, they possess remarkable discipline, espe- cially when engaged in promoting the common good. Possessed of strong convictions formed jointly by their capacity for logical analysis and their progressive imaginations, these otherwise easy-going individuals can display tremendous determination—even obsti- nacy—when called upon to defend or promote their beliefs, and will resort to combative tactics if necessary. However, they are interesting and invigorating com- panions, who display genuine concern for, and enor- mous magnanimity toward, their nearest and dearest.
