Kick Rocks

Those born on July 12 are masters at persuasion. Not only are their arguments cogent and logical, but they have an innate sense of timing. When necessary they can scold or console but only in the most extreme cases do they need to threaten. More often they use humor to win others over to their point of view. July 12 people are not only good at convincing others but also at initiating action. Through their efforts many projects get off the ground which might never have materialized. Sometimes July 12 people can be so clever as to subtly plant an idea in someone else's mind so that this person may act on it, as if the idea originated with them. Unfortunately, July 12 people can be domineering parents. Because they are so adept at exerting their influence, their children are of course no match for them and only much later they realize how much of their volitional nature was invisibly controlled. In extreme cases, children of July 12 people grow up to find they have an atrophied will and remain dependent on being guided. Similar problems can arise in the love relationships of those born on this day, often involving their lovers or mates feeling and ultimately expressing built-up resentments against them. Because July 12 people rarely find partners who are a match for their strong personalities, it is difficult for them to find lasting happiness in their personal lives. July 12 people are a powerfully influential presence in whatever environment they inhabit. At work, they are generally admired for their expertise, and thus can exert a positive influence in mediating disputes. However, those born on this day cannot suffer reporting to someone they don't admire or at least respect. For this reason, they often find themselves self-employed, or without a direct supervisor. Because July 12 people are hard-headed thinkers who have a well-defined set of priorities and guidelines for life, it is difficult for them to accept wholesale the philosophy of a company or organization. Because of their persuasive nature and forceful personality, July 12 people sometimes make enemies and arouse resentment or antagonism. They invariable believe they are acting in the common interest, but others may see them as dictatorial, unyielding or argumentative. The truth is that July 12 people often find a solution to logical problems much faster than other people, and thus may deny them a chance to get involved. Those born on this day must learn to back of, to allow others some decision making power and self-respect; it is because July 12 people are such powerful providers that they tend to foster dependence in employees, children and friends. -Secret Language of Birthdays-Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers-....div style="z-index:5; background-color: #6698CB; margin-left:-400px; width: 800px" align="center"
