These people don’t just enjoy challenges, however, they need them to feel alive; if there are none to engage their active mind they may attempt to make their life more difficult. For example, they may set themselves impossible deadlines at work or push themselves to the limits physically. It is therefore important for them to learn to find ways to deal with their boredom.

Their greatest fear is to have their personal freedom to explore new frontiers taken away. This could result in a fear of commitment to partners and family, and unreliable or erratic behavior. This isn’t to say they are incapable of closeness; they simply need to feel that their personal freedom has not been sacrificed. Between the ages of seventeen and forty-six there are opportunities for them to develop greater emotional closeness; after the age of forty-seven there is a turning point that gives them the emotional confidence to handle commitment.

People born on this day will achieve greater happiness when they understand that when others try to seek to be close to them they are not necessarily trying to trap them. In fact, once they have learned to resist the tendency to back off when things get intense, there are very few problems or situations that the adaptable nature of these strong individuals cannot resolve.

On the dark side

Aloof, restless, unreliable

At your best

Inventive, original, detailed

Love Catch me if you can

People born on February 3 do have a fear of commitment and until they find "the one" they may flit from partner to partner. Ironically, despite their fear of emotional closeness, when they are in a relationship they tend to be the one who throws themselves into it with an intensity that can backfire. It is important for them to understand that just as they need personal freedom in a relationship they need to allow their partner that very same freedom.

Health Go with the flow

Fortunately, most people born on this day have the intelligence to understand the importance of taking care of their health, but they can easily get sidetracked. They also need to make sure they don’t miss out on regular health check-ups and understand that freedom to experiment should never be at the expense of their health. A routine approach to diet and exercise rarely works for people born on this day but they should make sure that most of what they eat is healthy and incorporate lots of spontaneous exercise into their lives. To help themselves stay the vibrant, full-of-life person they can be, a few drops of grapefruit, lemon, orange, rose, sandalwood, or ylang ylang essential oil sprinkled into a handkerchief to breathe in now and again may well do the trick.

Career Born technicians

These people are great technicians, and careers in science and technology may have great appeal. However, with their natural gift for words they may also be drawn to writing, lecturing, teaching, sales, counseling, or social work. Whatever field they choose, be it technical, scientific or creative, the originality, courage, and determination to succeed and master new talents that set people born on this day apart from others will greatly help them.

Destiny To walk untrodden paths

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to value the personal as much as they value the interpersonal; once they can do that, their destiny is to boldly strike out into new frontiers and to walk previously untrodden paths.

Be true to yourself

Lucky people never try to be something they are not. They understand that the only way to find true fulfillment and the respect of others is to open up and allow others to know you properly.

People born on February 4 often try to fit in but, however hard they try, they will always stand out. They have the ability to bedazzle others with their original thoughts and flashes of brilliance. Their methods may not always be orthodox but their thought-processes are always original and their problem-solving techniques always effective.

Although people born on this day are often admired for their sincerity, discipline and ability to work extremely hard, the logic behind their thoughts and actions is often incomprehensible not just to others but sometimes to themselves. Their speed of thought and energy may also exhaust those around them and they may find that people respond to them with bewilderment rather than bedazzlement. Feeling that they are a square peg in a round hole can make them feel insecure and confused; they may try to ward off feelings of difference and aloneness by attempting to fit in. This is a mistake because they shouldn’t try to win the admiration of others by limiting their greatest strength: their originality.

People born on this day do often feel as if they are different from other people but they are at their happiest and most bedazzling when they are able to be themselves. Because there is often so much going on in their heads they may pay little attention to their emotions; analyzing their feelings is not easy for them. As a result they can be incredibly harsh on themselves, expecting more from themselves than anyone else. They can also be impatient and impulsive without thinking through the impact of their actions on themselves and others. Fortunately, between the ages of sixteen and forty-five there are opportunities to become more emotionally self-aware; after the age of forty-five a significant turning point comes when they become bolder, more self-accepting and assertive.

If people born on this day can understand that others will respect and admire them far more if they are themselves, they have the potential to bring about real innovations in both their personal and their professional lives.

On the dark side

Uncommunicative, confused, unstable

At your best

Imaginative, unconventional, sincere

Love Explorers

People born on February 4 may be difficult to understand, but when it comes to affairs of the heart they are original, adventurous and exciting. They love to explore all aspects of a relationship and their partner will experience great intimacy with them. They are attracted to courageous and strong-willed people. Timid and unadventurous people do not usually attract them, unless there are smoldering passions lurking beneath.

Health New doesn’t always mean better

People born on this day are attracted to innovation. Most alternative medicine and holistic health practices will probably appeal to them. But they need to distinguish between what is credible and what is quackery. Their love of innovation also applies to diet and exercise; they are typically the first to jump on the bandwagon, only to drop off a few weeks later for something new. Although they have incredible energy, they are prone to neglecting eating and sleeping when they are on one of their mental adventures. It is important for people born on this day to remember that sometimes traditional health advice—for example, eat little and often, and try to get enough sleep—is sensible advice. Meditating, wearing or surrounding themselves with the colors rose or green will help create balance and harmony.

Career Born innovators

The originality of these people will enable them to be successful in a wide variety of careers. They may be drawn toward cutting-edge science and technology, or toward the stage or politics. They may also specialize as a therapist, psychologist, counselor, or natural-health practitioner; their humanitarian focus could draw them toward charity work or social reform. They also make fantastic artists, photographers, designers, architects, sculptors, or painters, as these are excellent outlets for their unusual take on life.

Destiny To amaze others with their original approach to life

The life path of people born on this day is to celebrate rather than try to curb their originality. Once they are able to do that, their destiny is to amaze those around them with their honest, direct, if occasionally incomprehensible, but always brilliant and original approach to life.

You share a passion for communication and this creates an intellectually and emotionally stimulating bond.

Admit you have fears too

If you admit you have the same fears as others you will get people on your side. When you show your vulnerable side you bring people closer to you.

People born on February 5 are often admired by others for their quiet confidence, razor-sharp wit and ability to undertake almost any task with ease. They are smooth operators with the gift of the gab and an ability to deliver the goods.

Although people born on this day may seem to be extremely capable, sometimes to the point of over-confidence, underneath they are no less insecure than anyone else. They have simply learned to mask their insecurities with a smooth, articulate and daring façcade. The admiration of others means a lot more to them that they would admit, which is why they relish the role of caretaker or educator of others.

Incredibly bright, these people express themselves with ease and are at their happiest when surrounded by equally witty and intelligent people. If they are starved of intellectual stimulation there is a danger of their alienating others with a lofty and intimidating manner. Fortunately, between the ages of fifteen and forty-four their emotional sensitivity toward others becomes more emphasized; after the age of forty-four there comes a turning point which suggests they feel even greater empathy for others.

People born on this day can be exceptional thinkers as well as speakers, and nothing thrills them more than philosophy, psychology, mystery, and intrigue. With an ever-curious mind, if they are able to develop their unique ideas they have remarkable potential to excel in their chosen field. They need to be careful, however, not to become too detached in the process. It is important for them sometimes to think a little less and feel a little more, as they have the tendency to over-analyze rather than acknowledge feelings.

February 5 people work particularly well in a team or for a cause where their need for intellectual stimulation and flair for management can be fully utilized. When they learn to hold back less, trust a little more and allow others to catch up with their frenetic pace, the compelling charm of these smooth operators can take them all the way to the top.

On the dark side

Condescending, inconsistent, cocky

At your best

Articulate, versatile, daring

Love Born nurturers

People born on February 5 have a strong desire to be needed, so they may often find themselves the caretaker of their family, friends and anyone else who strays into their territory. They love to nurture but need to be careful that they don’t just offer practical rather than emotional help. They thrive best with a partner who can match their wit but who also doesn’t outsmart them.

Health See red

People born on this day tend to be generally healthy but if health problems do occur they may find these hard to talk about or admit to. Regular health check-ups are therefore advised so that a trusting relationship can be built up with their doctor. They need to steer clear of smoking, drugs and large amounts of alcohol, and cut down on saturated fat in their diet. As far as exercise is concerned, team sports are recommended but they may also enjoy cross-country running, horse riding, or other forms of exercise that give them plenty of variety and challenge. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with shades of red will encourage them to open up emotionally as well as intellectually.

Career Born guardians

These people are guardians or caretakers by nature and this could open doors in medicine, education, counseling, psychology, the clergy, consultancy, finance, management, or social work. Their curiosity may also lead them toward careers in the arts, design, film, science, writing, journalism, or academia. Fierce individuals, those born on this day may also prefer to work on their own or set up their own business.

Destiny To make the impossible seem possible

The life path of people born on this day is to place as great an importance on feelings as on thoughts. Once they are able to develop their emotional sensitivity, their destiny is to make the impossible seem possible and by so doing to influence and inspire others toward great things.
