Those born on this day generally possess two defining characteristics: an almost irresistible urge to take control of situations and people; and a desire the win the genuine affection and admiration of those around them. Their perceptive and mercurial dispositions propel them to seek the best way to organize both themselves and others. Although the visions that fuel their actions are frequently highly individualistic, their concerns are usually intended to benefit or inform a wider audience, and they favour teamwork over individual action. While they feel compelled to exert their benevolent influence over others, they seek to do so by employing persuasive rather than coercive methods, thereby hoping to inspire others to cooperate enthusiastically in the pursuit of a common mission. They are endowed with the potential to attain success in a variety of professions, but many often have a special attraction to the innovative possibilities inherent in the arts or the media.
Their wish to build harmonious relationships with others pervades every aspect of the lives of those born on this day, and reflects their urge to achieve their aims as smoothly and quickly as possible, as well as their innate—and sometimes unacknowledged— desire to win the love and respect of those with whom they come in contact. However, their self-assurance and their confidence in the veracity of their convic- tions may cause the resentment of others (particularly those closest to them) for what may be perceived to be a manipulative approach, no matter how charmingly it is presented.
