Those born on this day are forceful and determined individuals whose actions are fueled by their urge to give expression to the visions that inspire them— that is, to translate their dreams into reality. Critically observant, imaginative and yet also extremely practical, they have a talent for incisively identifying perceived failings and then formulating remedial strategies, which they promote with unwavering tenacity and vigor. And because October 25 people are vitally interested in, and highly responsive to, everything that enters their personal orbit, this driving compulsion may be manifested in a wide range of areas or professions. Thus they may be seized by the desire to replace an unsatisfactory existing social or political system with a more fair and enlightened one; to develop a scientific or technical theory or instrument; to fill a gap in the commercial market; to make a company more productive; or to impart their messages to others by means of an inspirational artistic body of work. Inherent in all their aims and preferred methods is their innate perfectionism, as well as their predilection for directing the opinions or controlling the actions of others.
It perhaps goes without saying that those born on this day are socially responsible individuals who possess a burning desire to set others on what they believe to be the right path, or otherwise make a positive contri- bution to humanity. It is also clear, however, that their extremely critical, judgmental tendencies endow them with a profound sense of self-belief that may cause them to refute the validity of alternative viewpoints. So although they are reliable, protective, generous and affectionate friends and family members, they are typi- cally intolerant of those who deviate from their wishes.
