The Day of Personal Leadership
Those born on October 18 are often destined to play important, active roles in life’s great drama. Not only cut out to be players, however, they may also function as powerful directors of what goes on around them, be it the concerns of their family, business or social circle. They are not shy about pushing their way to the top, but though their desire to be king or queen of the hill is great, they can keep a low profile if necessary.
They are hardly typical leaders, for they have many other interests in life. If they are the head of a company, for examply, they may steal away when they can to devote themsleves to an endeavor for which they have still greater passion. Many born on this day who are selected for management positions look forward to the day when they can return to their former primary interest. When they leave, they are likely to be missed for their integrity and unimpeachable honor and honesty.
Less powerful individuals born on this day can also find themselves condidates for fame or fortune due to talent, connections or sheer luck, but are not all comfortable in an exalted position. They can suffer anything from a feeling of being overwhelmed to a complete nervous breakdown as they try to cope with the heavy responsibilities placed on them. Finally they must either reconcile themselves to a lesser role or risk falling victims to stress.
They like to be where the action is, preferbly righ tat the center of things. But even flashier types born on this day carry an introspective air about them. Although they can function in leadership roles, they should not push themselves too hard or far; their primary interest is their own work and private interests, and they will only be able to leave them for so long without becoming unhappy.
They love to have fun with others, yet because they are not highly social may at times find it difficult to fit in. They like to be included in the plans of their family or social group and can get pretty upset if they are left out; but because they despise self-pity in themselves and others, they are not the first to bare their emotional hurts. Typically, they would rather return to their work and individual pursuits than mope around like a lost Cinderella. Though such self-sufficiency is admirable, they have to be careful not to misread the intentions of others and cut off communication when in fact things could be straightened out. By keeping dialogue open, they can also avoid appearing to be know-it-alls or aloof, smug types. They should always maintain both their dignity and humility, and never allow themselves a superior or overconfident attitude.
