Radical idealist
The influence of your birthday reveals you to be a friendly, sharp, and honest Libra with excellent people skills. As you enjoy being active, you are usually planning some scheme or strategy. Once you set your heart on a goal, your determination and focus are admirable. Enterprising, with an attraction for material comforts, you have a knack for making contacts that can bring you gain and advancement.
With the added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Aquarius, you have original ideas and a shrewd understanding of humanity. Creative, with an interest and enjoyment in shaping things, you may be particularly interested in art, music, or metaphysical and religious subjects. Open-minded and liberal, you will stand up for your principles and for justice.
The strong emphasis on relationships and partnerships linked to your birthday reveals that you work better when in cooperation with others. At times you may have an unfounded fear of not having enough money, but you will always have the material protection of natural strategic skills and a talent for selling ideas. Once you have committed yourself to a concept or activity, you can project strong enthusiasm, toughness, and resolve. A humanitarian side to your nature is sensitive and idealistic and may find an outlet in helping your family, friends, or compassionate causes.
Up to the age of fifteen, you are mainly concerned with developing your social awareness. At the age of sixteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, however, you experience a turning point that emphasizes, over the next thirty years, issues concerning emotional change, power, and regeneration. Another turning point occurs at the age of forty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius. This change suggests that you become more idealistic and optimistic, wishing to take more risks in your life or expand your self-expression through study and travel. From the age of seventy-six, when your progressed Sun enters Capricorn, you begin to place more emphasis on duties, practical goals, and a realistic outlook.

Those born on this day are vigorous and strongly opinionated, and people who come into contact with them are impressed by their determined promo- tion of the ideals that motivate them (whether they agree or disagree). Indeed, October 7 people often engender love and loathing in equal measure and— although they are sensitive and apparently intuitively pick up the emotions exuded by others—they seem to accept the extremes of reactions that they provoke with equanimity, perhaps strengthened by their accep- tance that progress cannot be achieved without alien- ating the more conventional upholders of the status quo. Thus while they would prefer to win allies rather than to make enemies, their strength of belief endows them with the courage to battle when necessary for the realization of their visions. Their profound orien- tation toward others and their all-encompassing curi- osity typically compels those born on this day to strive to effect the advances they believe are justified.
The nature of their progressive urge varies accord- ing to the October 7 individual, and while many will choose to channel their energies in the furtherance of social or spiritual ideals, others will try to exert their influence on others through technical, creative or artistic pursuits. And, despite their radical messages, all employ their considerable personal charm, humor and ingenious and imaginative powers in the propaga- tion of their aims. Within their personal relationships (which they often prefer to keep strictly separate from their intellectual or professional work), such gentler qualities come to the fore, especially with regard to those who arouse their protective instincts—their closest friends, partners and children in particular.
