Febuary 23rd-THE DAY OF THE VIABLE CANDIDATE
Febuary 23rd people specialize in offering not only their ideas but also themselves as viable alternatives to less than ideal circumstances. They are often problem solvers engaged in moving things forward in a positive direction. Once those born on this day are convinced that they are the best candidate for the job, position of family leadership or social responsibility, they must secure that position, or at least receive a fair hearing. Their arguments are usually cogent and sound as is their advice, for rarely do they try to convince anyone of their views until they have done their homework thoroughly.
Febuary 23rd people are realists, down-to-earth individuals adept at sizing up a situation and placing their finger on precisely what can be improved. Unfortunately, Febuary 23rd realism may in fact be pessimism and particularly in later life those born on this day must beware of becoming hypercritical, even bitter. There is an undeniable dark side to Febuary 23rd people, necessitating a careful balance of their energies to avoid depression. They must particularly beware of falling into self-destructive patterns.
Febuary 23rd people have a solid hold on the material world. They are not overly indulgent in enjoying the luxuries of life. For them the thrill of dealing with practicalities and everyday difficulties has to do with building on yesterday and preparing for the complexities of tomorrow. They are like a motor which once running, keeps running.
Those born on this day are happy to expand their base of operations but will generally do so cautiously. One reason for their success, in addition to their pragmatism, is their kairotic sense, i.e. knowing the right time to act and when to stand pat. Those born on this day usually handly the existential dilemma well, taking responsibilty for directing their lives while accepting the laws of inevitability.
When Febuary 23rd people are frustrated in one direction they rarely backtrack, but simply choose another path. Most of the time, before embarking on plan A, they have already considered the merits of plan B, and hold it in ready reserve. Thus those born on this day excel at offering advice to those who have simply reached a dead end and can go no further. Often they themselves, or their services, prove to be the viable alternative to a stalemate.
In their private lives, Febuary 23rd people must beware of adopting an all-knowing or infallible attitude and becoming complacent or unresponsive to the emotional needs of others. They must strive to keep their minds open and tune in to the wishes of those around them. By truly valuing the opinions of others, andlistening quietly and non-judgemental to their concerns, they will win friends and inspire support for their own efforts.
NUMBERS AND PLANETS
Those born on the 23rd of the monthe are ruled by the number 5 (2+3=5) and by the planet Mercury.

The combination Mecury-Neptune (Neptune rules Pisces) indicates great sensitivity to external phenomena and a logical ability to think in universal terms. Whatever hard knocks those ruled by the number 5 recieve fromlife typically have little lasting effect on them as they recover quickly. The number 23 is associated with happening, and this is particularly true for Febuary 23rd people who wish to be at the center of the action.
