Not only do most October 4 individuals seem remarkably at ease with themselves, but they also have a pronounced gift for getting along harmoniously with other people. In many respects their relaxed attitude to life is the product of their astutely perceptive way of looking at the world, which endows them with a strong sense of realism as to the nature of what is possible and what is simply unfeasible. This is not to say that they do not harbor firm opinions or inspirational visions and, when convinced that these are ultimately attainable, work toward their realization with clear-sighted determination, but rather that they instinctively prefer not to waste their energy trying to effect impossible changes. For this reason they are often drawn to professions where they can not only achieve tangible goals but also make a significant and positive contribution to the lives of others. Thus careers are indicated as social workers, doctors, lawyers or judges, for example, or as engineers or scientists.
Those born on this day manifest their genuine interest for others within all their interpersonal rela- tionships, and the subjects of their concern in turn appreciate their good-humored and tolerant accep- tance of human quirks and foibles and respect their integrity. And, since October 4 people are also sensual types who are blessed with an infectious sense of fun, they have a talent for enlivening even their most seri- ous ventures. A similar combination of invigorating joie de vivre and steady and benevolent protectiveness characterizes their more personal liaisons, especially if they are men or if they were also born in the Chinese year of the dog.
