A shoulder to lean on. If you were born on February 5, you have a reassuring presence that suggests you are reliable in a crisis. If you happen to be eloquent, you tend to be direct and terse, with a certain imaginitive wit. Ruled by the number 5 and the planet Mercury, you have a quickness of thought and handle change well.

Must I repeat myself? You are insightful when analyzing the status quo. Of course, not everyone agrees with your opinions and your self-assured (some call it pompous)manner tends to put people off. You give listeners one chance to understand, then move on briskly. If they don't get it, they're slow. You can be quite condescending.

Let's not get all emotional. You often try to appeal to others' emotions, but it is your ability to concentrate that gets you what you want. In truth, you are an emotional person and your success may hinge on your ability to keep your excitable side under wraps.

Your dark side. You are a creature of many faces who shows a great deal but also holds back. You live a shrouded inner life to which few are granted access, and may develop rather strange habits and rituals which make you feel right with the world.

The company of others. You are very protective of loved ones and seek the support of more powerful individuals and organizations. February 5 people like yourself are often found working for groups or organizations and contributing a great deal to family and friends.

A Little Advice : If people don't understand, don't dismiss them as slow. You may not be making yourself clear. Give people a chance. Don't expect everyone to move so fast. They certainly can't read your mind.
