Individuals born today are the ultimate optimists. A true rogue with a cause, you take your world and turn it upside-down with fresh ideas, startling words, and impressive actions. While some might think you are too idealistic, it is that idealism — and a highly inventive mind — that drives you to succeed where others fail. Combine that with a gentle, kindly demeanor, and it's a recipe for a relatively popular person, comfortable in your own skin even in unusual situations.

The Aquarian decanate's influence adds a sense of perspective. You like to examine history to understand or illustrate the present and future. You are suited to careers in archaeology, art history, or classics. The birth number 6 encourages artistic expression, and the quest for beauty in all its forms may well develop into a hobby like antique restoration.

Your relationships cannot be superficial. They must engage body, mind, and spirit equally. In this setting, you make a highly creative and empathic partner. The only real caution for those born today is not to let the humanitarian nature of your birth number create a distance between yourself and your partners. It's tempting to ride off to the next quest, but sometimes your energy is much better spent focused on heart, hearth, and home.

Gift idea: a rich, fruity wine or some gourmet cheese.
