Those born on this day are private and introspective individuals, who nevertheless sometimes emerge from their self-imposed solitude to share the fruits of their labors with others. The planets that govern their day of birth exert a particularly powerful influence on their psyches, Mercury endowing them with a strong urge for intellectual exploration and discovery, and Venus blessing them with profound sensuality and an appreciation of beauty. And when these two inclinations achieve their highest level of harmonious interaction, September 18 people have the potential to initiate truly innovative and inspirational advances that others will admire and that may even influence generations to come. Their natural affinity with all things artistic augurs especially well for their success as writers, musicians or artists, while their equally strong attraction to the acquisition of technical knowledge suits them also for scientific pursuits and the digital realm. Although the focus of their professional endeavors fully absorbs their attention, their ultimate aims are typically to benefit humanity as a whole.
It is this dual propensity to help others advance while at the same time concentrating upon the con- cepts that fascinate them that may cause September
18 people’s personal lives to be troubled. Because they exude empathetic concern, and are attractive and interesting individuals, others are drawn to them. Yet in many respects the interest that they show in other individuals assumes a somewhat abstract rather than direct form and they therefore shy away from having to assume responsibility for the happiness of others, particularly if this would mean having to divert their attention from their intellectual quests.
