The Birthday of the Alchemist

Luck maker: Surround yourself with people who have your back.
People born on February 16 can transform even the most difficult of experiences into something positive. There is a touch of the alchemist about them in their ability to see the bigger picture, bring together all the relevant information and cut right to the essence or truth of a situation. Even if they sometimes appear quiet on the outside, underneath there is great inner strength earned through learning from setbacks and upheavals in their past. They often have an astute understanding of others and how the world works; rarely, if ever, do they miss a trick. Their capacity to be realistic and intuitive makes them potentially great leaders, admired for their cleverness and ability to know how and what is the most productive thing to say and do. The downside is they can sometimes appear detached, and their impatience with others may come across as rude and arrogant.
Born reviewers, they have a great eye for detail as well as the bigger picture, and this makes them great journalists, editors, advisors, mentors, teachers or life coaches. They may be drawn to leadership roles in business, banking or the stock market, or careers where they can express their creativity with art, social media, entertainment or perhaps charity work and social reform. Regular meditation and time out help them strike that important balance between their inner and outer life. For self-care, each time you hear your inner critic, visualize it taking a holiday on a sunny beach. The more you send your inner critic on holiday, the more you start to love and value yourself.
These people can suffer from low self-esteem and they need to start believing they deserve to be loved. In their mid-thirties they reach a turning point when they become more focused and self-appreciative. It is important at this point in their life that they don’t mask their feelings with a bossy manner or with detachment. When they believe they deserve good things to happen to them, their destiny is to help others focus on the positives in their lives and to strike gold both personally and professionally, which is after all every true alchemist’s dream.
