The perfectionist tendencies of October 31 people are stimulated by challenging situations of all kinds, for they are not only blessed with incisive clarity of vision but also possess the courage and integrity necessary to stand firm when promoting their strongly held beliefs. Many of those self- reliant individuals born on this day gravitate toward demanding scenarios that offer the opportunity to test themselves, a personal predilection that stems less from sensation-seeking motives, than from their desire to place themselves at the service of others.
Underpinning the actions of October 31 people therefore are dual propensities for self-sacrifice and confrontation, both of which arise from their pro- found concern for and interest in the welfare of those with whom they most strongly identify—their friends and families, workmates, compatriots, or even human- ity as a whole. To all their endeavors they bring their direct and logical turn of mind, their organizational skills, and the determination to realize their visions.
Their orientation toward others and their idealistic inclinations suit October 31 people to any profession where they can work toward the common good. Nat- ural pioneers and leaders, their strength of purpose and commitment is respected by others, although those closest to them in particular may feel reluctant or, indeed, unable, to meet their standards. In their urge to lead by example, they run the risk of alienat- ing those about whom they care the most, who may feel that their individual needs are being disregarded. This is especially noticeable when October 31 people embark on an Internet (blog or petition) crusade.
