Dynamic leader
The influence of your birthday suggests that you are a creative and practical individual with an easygoing personality. Ambitious and enterprising, you possess natural business sense and an ability to present an unusual and original point of view. Although you usually appear bright and friendly, you also have a more serious side. Your strong need for self-expression may manifest itself socially or lead to writing or the arts. Your objective approach to life can be challenged by a tendency to worry or be indecisive, particularly about finances.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Capricorn, you have a meticulous approach to analyzing situations and can be hardworking and responsible. Since precision is important, you want to do a job well and have pride in your work. Although you possess a sharp mind that can be used for problem solving, you may need to avoid becoming too critical. With a good sense of values, you are likely to be quite economical or good at obtaining a bargain.
As you possess intuitive insight, you can be of great help in making decisions, though you may have to guard against becoming overly serious or moody. Alternatively, a desire to delve deeply into life may manifest as psychological skills, spiritual awareness, or a black-comedy sense of humor.
From childhood you are likely to be continually analyzing situations in order to understand and improve them. After the age of fourteen, however, as your progressed Sun moves into Libra for a thirty-year period, you gradually become more aware of the importance of your social relationships and partnerships. Your creative abilities are enhanced and you may be drawn to develop your musical, artistic, or literary interests. At the age of forty-four you reach another life turning point as your progressed Sun enters Scorpio. This brings a strong emphasis on your deeper need for power, intensity, and transformation. Your progressed Sun enters Sagittarius when you reach the age of seventy-four, stimulating a desire to expand your horizons, particularly through education, travel, or religion.

Fortunately, as you are very intelligent and aware of your responsibilities, you are likely to be a powerful opponent and a good strategist.

Intelligent and articulate, you may also find fulfillment in a career such as education. Similarly, a need for self-expression may draw you to the world of entertainment or politics.

Their remarkable strength of conviction and fierce determination to set others on the path that they regard as being the correct one endow those born on this day with pronounced leadership potential. They are usually respected (although not necessarily regarded with affection) for both their dynamism and their fixity of purpose. While these individuals may be fueled by the desire to maintain or protect the status quo, they may be equally fired by the urge to implement change. Either way, they will have first evaluated the existing situation thoroughly, drawing upon their capacity for objective analysis in the process, and then utilized their organizational skills either to bring about improvement by modification, or to formulate an alternative. Once they have decided upon their course of action, they will promote it with uncompromising forcefulness, often demonstrating their powerful talent for communication in their quest to convince others. Such inclinations have a clear parallel with the political sphere, and many of those born on this day may become career politicians; others choosing to spread their message through other channels.
Despite their perspicacity, clarity of vision and persistence—qualities which augur well for their pro- fessional success—when it comes to their intellectual interests many of those born on this day may expe- rience troubled personal relationships, particularly if they are men. The problem is that others may not concur with their opinions and can become alienated by, and resistant to, their often stubborn attempts to persuade them otherwise; bitter confrontation is usu- ally inevitable.
