These people don’t just enjoy challenges, however, they need them to feel alive; if there are none to engage their active mind they may attempt to make their life more difficult. For example, they may set themselves impossible deadlines at work or push themselves to the limits physically. It is therefore important for them to learn to find ways to deal with their boredom.
Their greatest fear is to have their personal freedom to explore new frontiers taken away. This could result in a fear of commitment to partners and family, and unreliable or erratic behavior. This isn’t to say they are incapable of closeness; they simply need to feel that their personal freedom has not been sacrificed. Between the ages of seventeen and forty-six there are opportunities for them to develop greater emotional closeness; after the age of forty-seven there is a turning point that gives them the emotional confidence to handle commitment.
People born on this day will achieve greater happiness when they understand that when others try to seek to be close to them they are not necessarily trying to trap them. In fact, once they have learned to resist the tendency to back off when things get intense, there are very few problems or situations that the adaptable nature of these strong individuals cannot resolve.

People born on February 3 do have a fear of commitment and until they find "the one" they may flit from partner to partner. Ironically, despite their fear of emotional closeness, when they are in a relationship they tend to be the one who throws themselves into it with an intensity that can backfire. It is important for them to understand that just as they need personal freedom in a relationship they need to allow their partner that very same freedom.
Health Go with the flow
Fortunately, most people born on this day have the intelligence to understand the importance of taking care of their health, but they can easily get sidetracked. They also need to make sure they don’t miss out on regular health check-ups and understand that freedom to experiment should never be at the expense of their health. A routine approach to diet and exercise rarely works for people born on this day but they should make sure that most of what they eat is healthy and incorporate lots of spontaneous exercise into their lives. To help themselves stay the vibrant, full-of-life person they can be, a few drops of grapefruit, lemon, orange, rose, sandalwood, or ylang ylang essential oil sprinkled into a handkerchief to breathe in now and again may well do the trick.
Career Born technicians
These people are great technicians, and careers in science and technology may have great appeal. However, with their natural gift for words they may also be drawn to writing, lecturing, teaching, sales, counseling, or social work. Whatever field they choose, be it technical, scientific or creative, the originality, courage, and determination to succeed and master new talents that set people born on this day apart from others will greatly help them.
Destiny To walk untrodden paths
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to value the personal as much as they value the interpersonal; once they can do that, their destiny is to boldly strike out into new frontiers and to walk previously untrodden paths.

Luck maker
Be true to yourself
Lucky people never try to be something they are not. They understand that the only way to find true fulfillment and the respect of others is to open up and allow others to know you properly.
People born on February 4 often try to fit in but, however hard they try, they will always stand out. They have the ability to bedazzle others with their original thoughts and flashes of brilliance. Their methods may not always be orthodox but their thought-processes are always original and their problem-solving techniques always effective.
Although people born on this day are often admired for their sincerity, discipline and ability to work extremely hard, the logic behind their thoughts and actions is often incomprehensible not just to others but sometimes to themselves. Their speed of thought and energy may also exhaust those around them and they may find that people respond to them with bewilderment rather than bedazzlement. Feeling that they are a square peg in a round hole can make them feel insecure and confused; they may try to ward off feelings of difference and aloneness by attempting to fit in. This is a mistake because they shouldn’t try to win the admiration of others by limiting their greatest strength: their originality.
People born on this day do often feel as if they are different from other people but they are at their happiest and most bedazzling when they are able to be themselves. Because there is often so much going on in their heads they may pay little attention to their emotions; analyzing their feelings is not easy for them. As a result they can be incredibly harsh on themselves, expecting more from themselves than anyone else. They can also be impatient and impulsive without thinking through the impact of their actions on themselves and others. Fortunately, between the ages of sixteen and forty-five there are opportunities to become more emotionally self-aware; after the age of forty-five a significant turning point comes when they become bolder, more self-accepting and assertive.
If people born on this day can understand that others will respect and admire them far more if they are themselves, they have the potential to bring about real innovations in both their personal and their professional lives.
On the dark side
Uncommunicative, confused, unstable
At your best
Imaginative, unconventional, sincere
Love Explorers
People born on February 4 may be difficult to understand, but when it comes to affairs of the heart they are original, adventurous and exciting. They love to explore all aspects of a relationship and their partner will experience great intimacy with them. They are attracted to courageous and strong-willed people. Timid and unadventurous people do not usually attract them, unless there are smoldering passions lurking beneath.
