Theresa Cheung – The Element Encyclopedia of Birthdays (страница 38)
Those born on February 12 have a talent for integration; they have the ability to marshal all the available information, evaluate opposing viewpoints and then bring everything and everyone together in a united front. Nothing matters more to them than the status quo and if need be they will boldly and courageously defend it. This makes them highly valued in both their professional and their personal lives.
People born on this day like to see themselves in the role of peacekeeper, pointing others in the right direction; that direction is, of course, the one they believe to be correct. This isn’t to say that they are stubborn and inflexible, but they possess the tendency to ignore what others think and to believe that the best course of action is always their own. It is important for them to recognize the importance of consensus and to understand that although their ability to see and evaluate the bigger picture more than qualifies them to take the lead, great leadership is not about dictatorship but about motivating others in the direction you want them to go.
As well as being able to unite others and see the way forward with singleminded tenacity, people born on this day have a host of other talents, including confidence, originality and creativity. They do need to be careful that their talents don’t cause them to squander their energies in many different directions. Until their late thirties there are opportunities for them to develop greater self-awareness, but in their forties and beyond there is a focus on personal integration and purpose; in many ways, this is when these people really come into their own.
People with a February 12 birthday have strong convictions and a pro-gressive instinct, both of which have been developed through their powers of original thought, and high moral and ethical standards. They have the courage and charisma to lead and inspire others, and more often than not others will find them living out their mission to make the world a better and more peaceful place.

Love
Although people born on February 12 have no trouble falling in love, they do need to be careful that their work and goals do not eclipse their relationships or that they take them for granted. They prefer to get involved with people who are mentally stimulating and who are interested in self-improvement, as well as having a good time. Their detached exterior can make it hard for them to open up but once they are able to do that they are sensitive, loyal and (when they aren’t working too hard) fun-loving partners.
Health
People born on this day are often creatures of routine when it comes to their health, diet and exercise, and although this means they are generally in good health the downside is that experimenting a little can give them more energy and more fun. It is important for them to try out a wide variety of nutritious foods rather than sticking with old-time favorites and to experiment with different types of exercise instead of sticking with one. When they are feeling stressed or anxious instead of alcohol or chocolate they should try a warm bath with a few drops of their favorite aromatherapy essential oil to soothe frayed nerves. They would also benefit from meditation and breathing techniques to focus their energy and thoughts.
Career
These people may well consider politics or social reform as their chosen career. Whatever they choose, they are bound to become the head of something along the way, perhaps the principal of a school or a group leader. Their good people skills and business sense may also draw them toward management careers. Other career choices that might work include counseling, publishing, advertising, accountancy, science, or invention. Anthropology and archaeology, as well as careers in writing or the arts, may also appeal.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to beware of their tendency to dismiss viewpoints differing from their own. Once they have learned to be more open-minded, their destiny is to create harmony in any environment in which they find themselves.

Get in touch with nature
To increase your chances of luck you need to learn to listen to your intuition. One of the most effective ways to calm your mind is to get in touch with nature.
Those born on February 13 are difficult to ignore. They are open and uninhibited in almost all that they undertake and bursting with energy, originality and fun. Often regarded as trendsetters, they are at their best when performing to an audience.
People born on this day have a unique approach to life, and their ideas and plans have the potential to make them a fortune. Because they are rebellious and more than a little wild, they will almost certainly encounter criticism and rejection in their life, in particular their teens and early twenties. It is important for them to hold fast to their individuality and to resist the urge to fit in. They just need to find the right path and the right goals to devote their considerable energy to—and the right people to encourage them to be themselves—and their success is assured.
Exuberant, original and daring, these people see a world of possibilities and potential around them. Sometimes in their enthusiasm to move forward they can come across as bossy or eccentric; they do need to learn to slow down and look before they leap. They are often guilty of following their hearts before their heads and this can also get them into trouble, leading them to hurt other people in the process. After the age of thirty-seven there is a turning point, suggesting that they will become more aggressive and focused in pursuit of their goals. It is more important than ever for them to learn to center themselves and find a sense of inner security.
February 13 people have a flair for the dramatic and although their uninhibited nature relishes being the center of attention, there are certain aspects of themselves that they keep strictly private. This gives them a fascinating enigmatic quality and complexity that only serves to intrigue and delight their audience even more. Once they are able to control rather than repress their exuberant spontaneity, these elusive but extrovert individuals can often be found entertaining, educating and intriguing their adoring fans.
On the dark side
Wacky, reckless, bossy
At your best
Uninhibited, unique, fun
Love
The address book of people born on February 13 is often packed with friends and admirers, but they may find it difficult to let one person get close to them. Falling in and out of love a lot, they may find it hard to stick to relationships as they enjoy their freedom too much. But when they do find the right person it often tends to be an elusive and dramatic individual like themselves; when this happens, their love is for keeps.
Health
People born on this day have a tendency to take risks with their body and their health, being prone to accidents and injuries, particularly in their legs and ankles. They need to learn to take things a little more steadily and to remain calm in difficult situations. They would benefit enormously from mind-body exercises such as yoga, tai chi and meditation techniques. When it comes to diet they also need to make sure that they avoid rich food and excessive amounts of alcohol, red meat and dairy. Moderate to mild physical exercise is preferable to vigorous exercise. Wearing, meditating on or sur-rounding themselves with shades of blue and green will help them handle challenges with calmness, objectivity and optimism.
Career
These people have a love for variety, adventure and acclaim, together with the versatility to handle sudden changes, so they are ideally suited to the world of entertainment. Other careers that might appeal include astronomy, meteorology, aviation, scientific research, and education. Their ability to charismatically lead campaigns could also draw them toward politics and social reform, or setting up their own business.
