10 FEBRUARY
The Birthday of Achievement
“If I can dream it, I can do it”
The life lesson: is to work with others successfully.
The way forward: is to understand that you can’t do everything alone.
Luck maker: Fail more. There is no such thing as failure if you learn from it.
People born on February 10 are life’s go-getters. The pursuit of their career goals is likely to take precedence over anything else, especially in their early adult years. Their clear-sighted recognition of their aspirations, along with their ability to concentrate fully and adapt if need be, means that they are more than likely to surpass their professional goals. However, they do need to be careful that they don’t become perfectionist and obsessive in their drive to succeed. Material success isn’t likely to be their motivation, but rather gaining approval for making their mark in the right way. Integrity matters greatly to them and they aren’t likely to walk over or take advantage of others to get to where they want to be.
Born achievers and hard workers, these people have the imagination but also the discipline, drive and determination to succeed in any career they choose. They could be a great lawyer, policeperson, politician, civil servant, executive, charity worker, entrepreneur, sportsperson, artist, researcher, pilot, social media influencer and so on. The list of career possibilities is endless, so it might be beneficial for them to try their hand at many different options. Health-wise they would benefit considerably from plenty of fresh air and exercise as well as hobbies and interests outside the workplace. For self-care, slow down. Just 10 or 15 minutes of quiet time doing nothing can make a real difference with connecting to the luck-making power of intuition.
For those born on this day, home needs to be their sanctuary, but, without realizing it, they can subordinate the needs of loved ones to their careers and may end up alone for lengthy periods as a result. At 40 they reach a significant turning point, when they become less reliant on achievement for a sense of self-worth and more committed to nurturing close relationships with others and just as important nurturing the relationship they have with themselves. As long as they remember that admiration isn’t the same as affection, and that periods of solitude can be a source of great creativity and strength, their destiny is to be highly respected for their integrity and to devote themselves to a cause that makes a genuine difference.

The Birthday of the Upgrader
“I can always find a new and better way”
The life lesson: is coping when you or others mess up.
The way forward: is understanding that making mistakes is an important learning experience.
Luck maker: Be open to learning from others. Nobody likes a “know-it-all.”
People born on February 11 feel they were born to help improve everyone and everything. In their minds, both people and things are always in need of an upgrade. They often have an earnest, engaging quality about them, and a real talent for finding new ways to make life easier. They do this not for material benefit or recognition, but because they believe that the less stress people have, the more they can devote themselves to meaningful pursuits. Although they prefer to motivate by example, people born on this day can be a lot of fun and have a knack for making others feel good about themselves.
Born inventors, these people are attracted to careers in science, technology, education, invention, programming and architecture, as well as personal development. In business they make great consultants and specialists, or they may devote themselves to charity work, psychology, philosophy, the arts or personal transformation. Prone to self-indulgence, understanding the power of moderation and the mind–body link is important for their wellbeing. For self-care, meditating on an amethyst crystal or surrounding yourself with the color violet keeps your mood uplifted.
These people tend to let their current projects absorb them, neglecting relationships. In love they need personal freedom and intellectual stimulation, and are drawn to unusual people. Thinking of themselves as improvers and educators, they should understand that not everyone appreciates their help. Sometimes the only way for people to learn is through making their own mistakes and finding their own solutions. They may get resentful if another person tries to point things out, especially if they do so in a blunt manner. It is important for them to develop their sensitivity. Before the age of 40 they are emotionally sensitive, but after that, directness takes center stage and they need to learn to channel this directness positively and sensitively. With their inventive insight into what a situation or a person needs, there is little doubt that those born on this day (as long as they can master the art of diplomacy and be less critical) can break new ground. Their destiny is to experiment with original concepts and upgrade the world in the process.
