Your inner sensitivity may not be immediately obvious from your outer personality. You are sympathetic, and with your strong feelings, you can identify with others’ problems and reveal your potential for deep compassion and universal love. When you are able to view people and situations from this larger perspective, you can be very giving and detached, trusting that life will spontaneously fall into place in its own time.

Although friendly and caring, you can also be a person of extremes. When inspired, you are amusing, loving, and spontaneous, with a childlike sense of fun.

The infectiously invigorating aura of vitality and joie de vivre of those born on October 2 attracts others to them, and these gregarious, pleasure- loving types in turn relish the stimulation of social interaction. Whatever career they choose to pursue, their strong orientation toward others invariably plays an integral part—whether it be in the nature of their work (often in the service industries or sales) or in the interpersonal professional relationships that they form. In all their ventures, their favored approach is typically a direct one aimed at attaining their goals as swiftly and effectively as possible. Because they have a propensity for making instant decisions and then promoting them with determination, October 2 people have little patience with those who manifest uncertainty or prevaricate, and will seek to influence them to adopt the course that they believe to be the correct one. Their self-certainty and predilection for action thus endows them with leadership potential (which is doubly pronounced if they were also born in the Chinese year of the dragon).
Despite their genuinely well-intentioned desire to guide others—and particularly those closest to them—those born on this day may have difficulty per- suading others of the veracity of their viewpoints. The problem frequently stems from their propensity to analyze every issue that holds their attention in black- and-white terms—a tendency that may lead them to ignore the subtleties in between. And, since they are straightforwardly direct and have the courage of their convictions, the unvarnishedly honest expression of their beliefs may alienate the very individuals whom they are trying to help.
