Such is their focus and drive that those born on this day frequently appear to be powerfully single- minded individuals who will allow nothing or no one to stand in the way of their progress. In many respects this assessment is an accurate one, for these people are not only remarkably goal oriented, but they also combine their capacity for concentration, logical thought and intellectual and physical vigor with their somewhat stubborn tenacity to generate an almost irresistible force. Yet the personalities of those born on this day are not as straightforward as they may appear on superficial examination, for as well as being linear thinkers, their intellectual curiosity also endows them with the ability to think laterally, while they are also blessed with sensitivity and perceptiveness, qualities that make them extremely empathetic toward others. The combination of their humanitarian instincts and organizational talents may lead them to pursue professions where they can assist or enlighten others, possibly through creative endeavors. They also make gifted and generous team leaders.
Similar feelings of concern and responsibility for the well-being of others characterize their relation- ships with their nearest and dearest, toward whom September 17 people typically assume a protective stance. Although they rarely express their emotions openly, they demonstrate their affection for those clos- est to them through nurturing and practical action. Although initially shy, many are lively companions, who are stimulated by artistic pursuits (to which some choose to devote their careers) and also have an infec- tious sense of fun.
