Those born on this day possess two pronounced— and apparently contradictory—sets of personal characteristics: those related to their perfectionism and those stemming from their adventurous, somewhat radical, persona. And while it is true that some October 24 people may tend toward one or other of these extremes, others reconcile them by backing up their highly original and ambitious visions with their more grounded qualities: meticulous attention to detail, self-discipline and strong organizational talents. These are energetic types, fueled by the compul- sion to effect concrete and progressive advances with which they hope to find satisfaction and to benefit others. Although independently minded, their strong social orientation leads them to seek to enlist the sup- port of others in their cause. Because their preferred approach is hands-on, they set themselves—as well as those around them—prodigiously high standards. They typically lead by example, however, demonstrat- ing extraordinary dedication and focus in the process. The careers that attract those born on this day vary depending on the individual, but their technical and practical talents, as well as their desire for autonomy suit them well for both mechanical and administrative pursuits. Despite the admiration that their commit- ment and imagination arouses in others, these very qualities—particularly when combined with their judgmental and perfectionist tendencies—may make them difficult to live with. They sometimes neglect the needs of those closest to them when preoccupied with their work (a propensity that is doubly pronounced in October 24 men) and they may seek to direct or
“improve” the behavior of their loved ones.
