You can, however, turn on the charm and be a highly creative thinker.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Libra, love and affection are especially important to you. A need to express yourself and your creativity may find outlets through art, writing, music, or drama, or at least you may become a fine appreciator. Refined and gracious, you are likely to have an agreeable manner and an attractive voice.
As a progressive thinker, you have a desire for knowledge and enjoy projects that keep you mentally stimulated. You possess critical and analytical abilities and often have technical skill. A tendency to be suspicious of others or to worry, however, may mar your usual light-hearted attitude.
The first half of your life may be more difficult than the second, due to your emotional sensitivity. Nevertheless, this can stimulate an intuitive or mystical side to your nature that will prove beneficial later in life.

At these times, you can become very charismatic and determined, inspiring or influencing people with your spontaneity, warm heart, and generosity.

A quest for a higher knowledge may move you toward projects or people that involve soul growth. You need to be constantly working and challenging yourself to achieve something that has some depth and purpose. This stops you from becoming overserious or too self-involved. Paradoxically, although you may have issues around being lonely or abandoned, you need periods alone for contemplation and self-analysis.
Gregarious and friendly, you fare better in occupations that involve creative thinking or dealing with the public. As an idealistic and loyal person, you enjoy working in partnerships or collaborating with others in a group effort. As a gifted and multitalented individual, you prefer working conditions that allow you time to play and have fun. If you want to succeed, you may have to work very hard to achieve stardom.

Ambitious, with creative potential, you can take ideas and expand them in your own dramatic style. With a number 30 birthday, you enjoy the good life, and you can be exceptionally charismatic and outgoing. Since you possess strong feelings, being in love or contented is a vital requirement. In your pursuit of happiness, avoid being lazy or overindulgent and the tendency to be impatient or jealous, as these may cause you to experience emotional instability.

Those born on this day are focused individuals, who can perhaps best be characterized as champions of the truth, for they have an acute eye for identifying what they believe to be social or intellectual wrongs. They are driven by the desire to convince others of the veracity of their judgements and thereby effect change. Because they are especially sensitive to social injustice, and are extraordinarily empathetic toward the victims of such abuse, September 30 people are strongly drawn to those professions where they can devote their energy and talents to rectifying the situation. And in working toward their humanitarian aims they typically utilize their organizational skills, uncompromisingly logical intellectual approach and meticulous attention to detail in building dynamic force for progress. Because they recognize that their efforts will often be met with opposition, they strive to create a veritable armory of weapons, which they employ with courage and resourcefulness. There is a danger, however, that their heightened sense of justice may lead them to employ an overly aggressive approach toward those—especially their nearest and dearest—whose behavior does not live up to their high moral standards.
Their inclinations clearly suit these individuals for careers where they can make tangible advances, for example as social campaigners, lawyers or members of the caring professions. But those born on this day also have a sensual affinity with the beauty inherent in the arts, and many will therefore seek both to help others and to provide inspiration through literature, music, or visual forms of artistic expression.
