These are organized by birthdate. ^_^ Hope you enjoy. ~_~ Hmm... hopefully I'll get more b-days... from the character bios? ::coughcoughhinthint::
| Their energy, drive and boldly expressed convictions make many January 23 people larger-than-life figures who follow their hunches and deeply held convictions in characteristically individual style. There is a dual side to these personalities; on the one hand they are physically vibrant, combative and confident in their sensitivity and intellects, while on the other they are prone to follow their instincts and beliefs with steely determination, thereby also demonstrating their capacity for organization and tenacity. The comvination of their highly developed talents of intuition, ambitious vision and intellectual perceptiveness, as well as their willingness to take risks if they feel these justify the potential rewards, mark these people out as potentially successful players of the financial markets, where they often have a gift for investment. Yet despite this commercial bent, people born on this day also have a propensity to spend their money as though it were water.
In their personal lives, these people must beware of using the same tactic of determined confrontation that frequently serves them so well in their careers. Although they may have a deep and genuine affection for their loved ones, they may inadvertently cause upset if they give their well-meant words of advice too bluntly, or try to make others follow a course of action to which they are not suited. These people therefore benefit by becoming less controlling and more accepting of the limitations and viewpoints of others; when they apply this strategy to their own lives, they will discover that there is much to be gained from a more relaxed attitude and willingness to compromise. Virtues: Impossible to ignore, these dynamic, quick-witted, confident people can have a resounding impact on others. The conjunction of outstanding intellectual gifts and instinct that is inherent in these people gives them outstanding potential to achieve their aims and realize their visions. Vices: Because they have strong convictions and are not afraid of expressing them, Jan. 23 people must beware of their tendency to intimidate or brow-beat others, a policy which may have short-lived success but which will rarely benefit them in the long run. Verdict: These people should attune their undoubted sensitivity to others' feelings and try to become more receptive to what their family and co-workers have to say. They must not allow one side of their personality to dominate the other, maintaining balance in all things. |
| Perhaps the strongest characteristic of January 24 people is their inherent need to be challenged and stimulated, and this is often manifested by a ceaseless questing to experience and master all that life has to offer. Running parallel to their strong sense of purpose and deep desire to succeed is a prounounced streak of courage, which enables them doggedly, and sometimes apparently recklessly, to tread new paths without being deflected from their purpose. Yet although they are daring, those born on this day will generally not take chances without first having weighed up the risks and having carefully examined potential pitfalls. Although they are personally ambitious, these people are rarely motivated by a desire for financial reward, instead being driven by a desire to test and prove themselves. Their intellectual talents, including those of perceptiveness and objectivity, suit them for most professions, that is, as long as their attention is held and they are allowed to be creative.
Away from work, these people greatly enjoy the good things of life and as appreactiative gourmets are ever willing to sample new sensual experiences. Possessing exceptionally high propelled levels of generosity and sensitivity (to a fault at times), they are deeply attached to their family and friends, desiring their happiness above ALL (X_x I wouldn't have imagined it would be all in caps). In turn-- perhaps as a result of their intellectual restlessness--they need a stable and secure personal life, and to receive the contsant reassurance and encouragement of those closest to them, as well as the occasional firm hand. Virtues: Pioneering spirits, along with their outstanding intellectual abilities and originality, these people respond intinctively to challenge and possess the necessary determination to rise to the occastion. Benevolent and relaxed in their dealings with others, they accept and appreciate variety, accepting others as they are. A fine pair with their great empathy and sensitivity. Their attraction seems different, effortlessly drawing people towards them. Vices: If their need for intellectual stimulation is denied them, these people will become so frustrated that they have a tendency to withdraw into their own self-satisfying world or seek their own radical quest. They must also guard against their propensity toward sensation-seeking and physical indulgence. Verdict: Balance and imbalance is the key for these people. While they should never suppress their natural inclinations, they venefit by knowing when to give themselves over to the lure of sensory excitement and when it is necessary to buckle down and impose some self-discipline. |
| Individuals born on this day are valued by their coworkers and family alike for their calm and steady qualities. They typically keep firm control, imposing their logical methods on everything and everyone they encounter, thereby ensuring that their professional and personal environments remain organized to their liking. Although tye work determindedly towards their ideals and amibitions, these are never unrealistic or unachieveable, and indeed-- their world view is conditioned by the pragmatism that allows them to readjust their approach-- and compromise if necessary-- if this will give them a better chance of success. Such willingness to be flexible if the circumstances require it is an uncoubted asset in the business world, to which these people's qualities suit them extremely well, especially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the monkey.
Inherent in these individuals' desire to effect progress in an orderly and direct manner is their impatience with what they regard as unncessary complications--be they impersonal obstacles impeding their path or the objections of others. And while they will eventually accomdate most differences of opinion in the interests of pushing ahead, the sources of their irritation will first have been subject to their wrath. In their personal liasons, March 31 people, especially men, display magnanmity, affection and loyality, and expect those closest to them to receprocate in kind. If, however, they perceive signs of insubordination, they have a tendency to lose their tempers spectacularly. Virtues: March 31 people are resourceful, realistic and steadfast, qualities which, when combined with their energy and ambition, augur well for success in every aspect of their lives. Of further benefit to these individuals is their tendency to recognize that compromise is an unavoidable and necessary fact of life. Vices: Those born on this day are prone to suppressing their emotions, believing that mental control and rational methods are preferable to imprecise, sentimental responses. When frustrated however, their emotions can gain the upper hand and may be released in a startingly forceful--if short-lived-- explosion of temper. Verdict: These individuals should recognize that few people--including themselves-- can maintain the rigorously disciplined standards that they promote. They should therefore relax their expectations of constant control and learn to respect the importance of emotional expression. |
| Those born on April 21 are proud individuals who set themselves high standards and are mortified if circumstances prevent their being achieved. Such is their capability, effciency and self-discipline--as well as their strong self-knowledge which allows them realistically to assess their abilities and limits-- that when faced with a task, its complection will usually be hindered only be unforeseeable obstacles beyond their control. These are dignified and self-possessed people, who typically harness their podigious powers of perspicacity and reflection (qualities born of their sensitivity), and their organization skills and single-minded tenacity, in their drive to succeed--a package that endows them with great potential to achieve their aims. Because they are both reliable and unafraid of voicing their deeply held opinions, they will often find themselves assuming leadership roles, and will be accorded respect for both their ability and their talent for motivating others by means of positive encouragement. These qualities bode well for success in such interpersonal careers as teaching, although their distaste of being dictated to means they will generally be unhappy in large, rigidly structured organizations.
April 21 people are bent on acheiving perfection-- or as close a state possible to this idea-- rather than receiving financial awards, but they apprecate money for the good things it can buy, for these are somewhat sybaritic types who relish sensual stimulations of all kinds and therefore have a profound affinity with all things artisitic. People are drawn to them for their infectious, pleasure seeking propensity, as well as their endearing desire to bring happiness to others. They typically make indulgent, yet responsible, friends, parents, and partners, and may occasionally annoy others by their often unconcious tendency to control or, for those who are closest, by attempting to impose their personal outlook on them. Virtues: Those born on this day are blessed with qualities of self-reliance, objectivity, intellectual clarity, strength of purpose and enormous tenacity when faced with a challenge. Yet they are also sympathetic, positive and energetic types who recognize the importance of relaxation and will use it as a counterbalance their own intensity. Vices: The main danger that arises from the inherent characteristics of those born on this day is that they may gravitate towards extremes, becoming either overly controlling of those around them, or uncontrollably hedonistic and sensation-seeking. Verdict: These people intuitively recognize the importance of striking a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives, and thus generally devote equal time and attention to work and play. They should, however, beware of allowing those characteristics that are of great value in one sphere to cross over to another, neither dominating their friends and family, nor adopting a frivolous approach to their careers. |
| Perhaps the defining perosnal characteristic inherent in those born on this day, and the one that informs and influences the majority of their actions, is their irresistible fascination with imaginative and innovartory concepts. Indeed, the adjective "mercurial" perfectly encapsulates the restless inquisitiveness of their intellectual approach, which leads them to search ceaselessly for knowledge and truth and makes them remarkably receptive and sympathetic to new ideas and proposals. Although their curiousity and need for stimulation endow those born on this day with the potential to become gifted polymaths, it also carries the inherent risk that they may fail to settle on any interest long enough to develop it fully. Well able to inspire and direct the thoughts and actions of others by means of their enthusiasm, optimism and communication skills, they have a propensity to leave others to finalize the less intriguing aspects of their projects while they themselves move on to more alluring pastures.
Profressionally, these people are suited to those areas in which they have the best chance of utilizing their talents with the least chance of becoming bored with the minutiae of working life. Finance-related careers, such as in stockbroking, are especially indicated, are are artistic and sporting pursuits. In their personal relationships, too, these people tend to shy away from sustanined commitment and the constraints imposed by familial obligations; neverthe less they typically care very deeply for their nearest and dearest. Virtues: Their quick-wittedness, enthusiasm for the novel and wide-ranging interests combined with their limitless imaginative powers and refusal to be bound by convention, bless these people with great innovatory potential, as well as with the capacity to motivate others with their visions. Vices: Ironically, their tendency to sabotage their own aims and efforts reflects one of their greatest strengths: their intellectual restiveness. For, unfortunately, their innate skittishness may cause them not only to lack staying power, but also to develop a reputation for unreliability. Verdict: It is vital that these people do not waste their considerable talents. Developing their powers of concentration, and resisting the urge to respond impulsively to the lure of a new fascination before the possibilities of an existing venture have been exhausted, will help them gain greater personal satisfaction and optimize their potential to achieve success. |
| Like most people born under the Gemini, these people possess the prounounced characteristic of mercurial inquisitiveness, which is manifested by their almost insatiable desire for intellectual stimulation and manifold interests. While their inherent curiously endows them with a natural predilection for exploring abstract concepts and--if their attention is captured by a subject that really fascinates them--for delving deeper in truly innovative fashion, it may, however, equally prohibit those born on this day from concentrating on one topic alone. Indeed, they have a remarkably low boredom threshold, as well as a horror of being stifled and stultified by petty details. But there is one subject that rarely fails to intrigue these individuals, and that is human behavior, for observing other people and speculating about their characters and motivations provides them with an endless challenge. This orientation, when combined with an openess to change and progress, gives them the aptittude for, and potential to achieve success within, such fields as marketing, advertising, the media and politics, or perhaps psychology or detective work.
Despite their almost compulsive interest in other people, however, those born on June 1 are often extremely private individuals, who guard their own private lives. It may be that they recognize the value (in terms of protectiving their emotional equilibrium) of keeping the professional and domestic spheres in which they operate separate, or that-- for a multitude of reasons-- they do not wish the personae that they have adopted with colleagues to be unmasked to reveal as their 'real' selve. Whether plagued by insecurity or not, they tend to resist committing themselves to a life partner, but once they are firmly enmeshed within bonds of family and friendship, these people typically enliven their personal liasons, and make particularly affectionate and effective parents. Virtues: These vigourous individuals are driven by their quest for knowledge, a propensity that may find its expression in a range of interests, but usually includes a marked proclivity toward human personality and conduct--whether of the individual or a wider social group gathering. Because they direct their considerable energy and quick-wittedness toward achieving progress, they are blessed with enormous potential to attain tangible results. Vices: There is one significant propensity inherent in their personalities that these people would do well to recognize and address: their tendency to move restlessly from one passing enthusiasm to another without gaining more than a superficial understanding of any area that attracts their interest. Verdict: These people appreciate the importance of privacy as a healthy means of providing a refuge from profressional demands, but they must ensure that they do not take this predilection to its extreme, and thereby cut themselves off from potentially rewarding friendships. They should also resist the tendency to dlettantism. |
| Their questing imagination and enthusiasm for thoroughly investigating the unsual and wide-ranging interests to which they are naturally attracted, bestow upon them the potential to blaze tuly innovative trails through life. Indeed, such is their innate conviction that there is more to life than has yet been discovered that they are often irresistibly drawn to explore concepts that less open-minded types might dismiss as being fanciful or as having no future--pioneering scienctic or artistic theories for example, or even psychic phenomena, mysticism and spirituality. Despite the originality of the visions that inspire them, however, those born here are rarely unrealistic about the possibility of success, for they supplement their great intellectual and intuitive perpicacity with remarkably effective resourceful and practical skills. Add to this combination of personal qualities great optimism and energy and the resulting individuals are attractive and popular people.
Although their actions may be motivated by the very personal visiosns that inspire them, they generally prefer to work toward their realization as part of a coordinated team rather than in solitary isolation. Not only are they stimulated by the company and idea of others, but developing strong supportive working relationships is of vital importance to their emotional equilibrium. Similarly, within their private lives, they apprecate andvalue the unquestioning of love of those closest to them and they typically make caring and empathic family members, especially if they were born in the Chinese year of the monkey. Virtues: Their enduring interest in pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forward is as much the result of their intuitive acceptiance of the existence of hidden truths as their intellectual curiousity. To their progressive endeavors they bring their enourmous sensitivity, energy, organization proficiency and optimism. Vices: Although these are inherently positive and tenaciouis individuals, should their progress becoming implacably blocked by the skepticism of others, they maybe become subject to overwhelming feelings of fresutration, which may be manifested by displays of temper or by withdrawal into their private world of dreams. Verdict: While it is vital that those born on this day should not allow themselves to become depressed and discouraged by the negative responses that their advanced ideas will inevitably elicit, at the same time they should ensure that they do not savotage their own efforts by stubbornly promoting a vision--however theoretically feasible--that others will not accept. |
| These people have a strong desire to uncover essential truths and then communicate their discoveries to others in order to enlighten them and thus enable humanity to progress-- either as an individual or as a whole. This overriding propensity usually talkes the form of either long term research into abstract, theoretical concepts, or the investigation of more immediate concerns. Thus on the one hand they may make careers within such academic disciplines as science or philosophy, for exmaple, or on the other be found working as law-enforcement agents, journalists or critics. To whatever profession these teancious indivuals devote their energies, however, they typically contribute their talents of clear-sighted observation, their capacity for organized and logical thought, and their resourcefulness, courage and determination. And these last qualities are of particular importance, since there propensity to debunk convectional beliefs and expose hypocrisy will inevitably lead them into confrontation with those wishing to maintain the status quo.
Their marked intellectual autonomy suits these people best for working independently--at least while carrying out the researched-based part of their work--although they recognize the importance of recruiting supporters when seeking to broadcast their conclusions, and employ their prodigiously persuasive skills in doing so. Yet despite their general concern for others, their personal lives may be beset with difficulty for thir predilection for analyzing the motivation of others and their tendency to criticize can make even their dearest wary incurring their censure. Virtues: Motivated by the desire to benefit others by means of their findings, these people are fuled by the urge to strip away layers of obfuscation and thereby uncover the core of truth underlying any subject investigation, in the process employing their formindable intellecual powers of logical analysis and unwavering tenacity. Vices: Although their naturally critical inclinations may serve them exceptionally well within their professional acivities, this is not the case within their personal liasons, where their painfully honest observations usually prove fatally hurtful to building and maintaining solid and enduring relationships. Verdict: If those born on this day are to avoid beoming emotionally isolated, it is important that they should learn to moderate their propensity for brutal honesty and deprecation with regard to their nearest and dearest. Developing greater tolerance of others' personal foibles and imperfections will help them retain the affection of those closest to them. |
| Never the types to indulge in subterfuge, manipulation or power games, those born on this day are straightforward and direct, their primary motivation being to attain their aims and to do so as effectively as possible. Stimulated by their quest for knowlevge and being and independent turn of mind, they prefer to seek out facts for themselves and then draw their own conclusions rather than unquestioningly to accept convention truths. Their intellectual approch is typically characterized by their incisive ability to grasp abstract concepts, their perceptiveness and their capcity to marshal their findings into logically constructed stregies for progress. And, once these have been reached, they will not only adhere to their conclusions with single-minded tenacity, but also seek to persuade others of their veracity--often with considerable success, since these people have a marked facility with words and because others cannot help but respect their sincerit. Their social concern and desire to instruct and thereby assist others suits them particularly well to careers are educators, for example, or in the public service.
Despite their genuine urge to exert their influence over those around them--or society as a whole--these are somewhat solitary individuals, who have a strong need for periods of privacy in which they can be alone withtheir thoughts, undisturbed by the demands of others. Yet they are also loyal and supportive friends, partners and family members, who, moreover, respect the individuality of their nearest and dearest and will rarely attempt to improve their opinions on those cosest to them in this would be hurtful. Virtues: These people are perhaps defined by the dual nature of their characters, on the one hand, their need for personal autonomy and, on the other, their desire to pass on the beneficial fruits of their discoveries to others. Endowed with objective and rational intellects, as well as with communication skills, they are also good motivators. Vices: Going hand-inhand with their prerequisite for intellectual freedom is their need for privacy, for occasions when they can pursue their interests without distraction or disruption. Their highly developed socisl responsiblity may, however, lead them to neglect this fundamental requirement, to the ultimate detriment of their emotional well-being. Verdict: Those born on this day often find it hard to turn down either overt or covert requests for help, but it is nevertheless vital that they do not allow themselves to become overwhelmed by the demands of others. They should therefore learn to prioritize their own needs, and, when necessary, encourage others to address their problems independently. |
| Simultaneously curious and perfectionistic, those born on this day have the potential initiate advances notable not only for their originality, but based upon solid foundations. Their innovations utilize their highly developed powers of perception to identify gaps in knowledge and endeavor. Innately vigourous and capable of deep concentration, they seek to fill these gaps, or tectify faults that they have pinpointed. To all their ventures they bring confidence, resourcefulness, and tenacity, along with meticulous attention detail. They will thrive in any profession where their exploratory and active needs can be fulfilled but many require a structured working environment and are especially drawn to fields of accountancy, engineering, science and the law.
These people are instinctive humanitarians, whose natural sense of justice and empathy for those in unfrotunate circumstances arouse protective responses in them. Their interpersonal relationships--whether with coworkers, friends, partners or children--are also characterized by genuince interest and concern, especially in women born on this day, although they do not tend to show their feelings openly. Dependable individuals, they usuall offer carefully considered adviced based on astute observations, but their desire for involvement is such that their benevolent intentions may be misinterpreted by independent loved ones as attempts to mold or control them. Virtues: Those born on this day are socially responsible individuals who are naturally predisposed to contributing toward the greater good. Optmistic, brisk, rational and positive types, they draw upon their considerable personal resources, including their practical skills to formulate and put into place ingenious, yet extremely effective, conceptual or technical advances. Vices: These people have a predilection for involving themselves fully in every aspect of their lives, both in terms of their professional activities and in their personal relationships, a tendency that carries the dual risk that they may thus run themselves ragged and neglect their need for self-care and relaxation, and that htier concerted attempts to solve problems of their nearest and dearest may be regarded as interfering. Verdict: It is important that these individuals moderate their tendency to apply their problem-solving abilities to the personal objectives or difficulties of those who may prefer to be left to their own devies. They should recognize that personal development (others' as well as their own( requires taking responsibility for one's own actions acknowledging rather than suppressing emotional responses. |
