Although they possess highly independent minds and a relish for innovation, the combination of their pronounced sense of social responsibility and compulsion to organize and synchronize the actions of others makes October 29 people natural leaders. Indeed, such are their clarity of vision, logistical talents and resourcefulness, that in many respects those born on this day can be described as highly accomplished tacticians and strategists. This is not to say that they lack charisma—to the contrary, others respond instinctively to their aura of authority and strength of purpose—but rather that they prefer to research their subject rather than dashing impulsively forward with guns blazing. And just as the chess master appreciates the element of surprise, October 29 individuals are somewhat secretive types, who may keep even those closest to them in the dark regarding their true intentions.
Their progressive predilections, along with their pragmatic way of looking at the world, augur well for the success of these people in any professional sphere that they choose, although many will feel themselves drawn to those political, military or commercial pur- suits where they can harness the efforts of others to promote their goals. Admired by their colleagues for their rationality, tenacity and loyalty, a completely different side to their characters emerges when they relax with their nearest and dearest (and they prefer to keep their professional and private lives separate), a side that includes their passionate affection, their fierce protectiveness, and their sensuality and love of pleasure.
