Others admire those born on this day for their charisma, as well as their physical and intellectual vigor, and are drawn into their personal orbit by their charming nature and infectious joie de vivre. Indeed, in an ideal world October 21 people would like nothing more than to indulge their sensual and pleasure-loving propensities, sharing their enjoyment of such entertainment with like-minded individuals. But since they are perceptive and critical types who wish to make a contribution to society, they recognize the unfeasibility of such an agreeable scenario. Because they are so concerned with effecting the well-being of others on the one hand and have such a strong affinity with artistic pursuits on the other, many of these people will combine these two interests to make careers as inspirational writers, artists, musicians and actors. Others may prefer to capitalize upon their analytical skills and progressive inclinations within the realms of science or commerce as long as their need for personal autonomy of thought and action is not compromised, a prerequisite that is especially important if they were also born in the Chinese year of the horse.
Yet despite their undoubted ability to sublimate their more selfish desires in favor of what they per- ceive to be the common good, they remain profoundly emotionally oriented individuals whose desire to attain their romantic ideals cannot be completely suppressed (nor, indeed, should it be). This propensity may find an outlet in social or artistic idealism, but is more often directed toward their nearest and dear- est—and particularly their partners—who may find it difficult to live up to the idealized qualities that are projected upon them.
