THE DAY OF GRACIOUS EASE
Those born on October 11 have vivid imaginations, like excitement, want to be at the center of what is going on and feel that they must play an important social role, however, their sensuous and pleasure-loving nature often holds them back. Finding their proper place in the world is of the utmost importance to them, and well it should be, since career is an area in which difficulties abound. In fact, they may have to change jobs with regularity until they find the occupation for which they are best suited.
Regardless of career, the bottom line for those born on this day is social involvement, for they are highly averse to an isolated lifestyle. Their fate is intimately tied up with that of their fellow human beings, so much so that they may perform well in the role of group or personal representative.
They can be too nice and easygoing. Part of the reason for their career indecision, or for their tendency to settle for whatever happens to come along, is that they do not have a whole lot of intense and directed (or for that matter, selfish) ambition. Because they do not enjoy complications, they may not choose to present themselves with challenges, Being basically comfortable and happy, developing a lifestyle where they may easily divide their attentions between their career, love life, family affairs, and forms of relaxation and enjoyment is fulfillment enough.
October 11 people enjoy working with others and being part of a team. Their likeable personality makes it possible for them to move freely from one social or work stratum to the next. They have a way of feeling at home with the highest or lowest level of society and those who have had the advantages of wealth or education rarely appear snobbish or elitist.
They must not allow themselves to be imposed upon or manipulated by more intense, better directed types who know what they want and will do what they have to do to get it. Admittedly, those born on this day will generally give friends and even acquaintances a second (or third) chance when trespassed upon, October 11 people should perhaps examine their motives in this regard: if they do so from a position of strength, such accepting behavior may not only be healthy but an indication of spiritual deveiopment; on the other hand, if there are masochistic urges working, changes should be made.
When they are truly satisfied with what they have, they experience a kind of bliss unknown to most people. Not having big problems with acceptance, however, does not guarantee that other areas of their spiritual life are so well developed. Therefore, they must summon the energy needed for self-understanding and personal evolution, or they will surely stagnate.
