Born on October 17

Libra

Under pressure you stay calm and gracious, already a few moves ahead and ready with a funny line.

When the microphone squeals and the speech notes slide to the floor, they carry on as if it were all planned, with a line so well timed that everyone laughs along.

That composure goes deep. Born on the 17th, they plan well ahead and keep at it until the plan pays off, which is how their long projects so often end in quiet triumph.

Persuasive in the nicest way, they can talk a hesitant group into a good idea, make it feel easy and leave everyone sure it was their own. The best plans in their circle often began with them, suggested at the perfect moment.
