Birth month number October: the meaning

October carries the 10, an expanded 1.

For you, October gives the drive to launch ideas and the talent to involve others, instead of moving ahead alone. The 1 gives initiative; the zero, which is worth nothing on its own, acts as an opening. October children have the drive of January children, but they share more readily. They invent a game and explain the rules to the whole street, put on a show and hand out the roles, suggest an outing and make sure no one is left out.

In middle school and high school, this talent serves to start things with others: a band, a team for a presentation, a trip with friends. Changes, a new school, a new city, are met with more flexibility than under a plain 1. The downside: the urge to start everything, and the temptation to move on to the next idea before finishing the previous one.

What remains is an aptitude for launching group momentum and bouncing back when a plan fails. What sometimes takes effort is going the distance once the enthusiasm of the start has faded.

A tip

Among the projects you started this year, choose one left halfway and set a date to finish it, with the help of someone who believes in it.

Frequently asked questions: birth month number October

Why is October 10 and not 1?

Because the number of the month is 10, and we read its two digits before reducing it. The 1 keeps its sense of initiative, and the zero adds an openness to others and to change. Other methods reduce October straight to 1: the reading is close, but less nuanced.

What is the difference between a January month and an October month?

Both carry the initiative of the 1. January lives it more independently: doing things on your own, waiting for no one. October lives it more collectively: launching an idea then bringing others along. The October child also adapts more easily to new environments.
