White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.
Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.
Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.
Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness.
Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.
***Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.***
Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.
Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help or guidance.
Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.
Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.
Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.
Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.
Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.
Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, these people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.

Sometimes say “I didn’t know that”
Nobody likes a know-all. Demonstrating a sincere openness and willingness to understand and learn from others will draw people to you.
People born on February 11 feel they were sent to this world for one purpose only; to improve the lives of those around them. In their minds, both people and things are always in need of improvement or an upgrade. They often have an earnest quality about them, and an energy and drive that makes others want to learn from them. They also have a talent for invention and enjoy finding new ways to make life easier for others around them. They do this not for material benefit or even recognition but because they believe that the less stress and discomfort people have, the more they can devote themselves to more meaningful and spiritual pursuits.
Although they prefer to motivate by example rather than words, people born on this day have a knack for making others feel good about themselves. Their curious and inventive mind means they have a great need for intellectual stimulation; their current absorption in a project or social group should not, however, make them neglect close personal relationships. Thinking of themselves as improvers and educators, they should understand that not everyone appreciates or wants their help. Some people like to work out for themselves what will make their life easier and they may get resentful if another person tries to point things out, especially if they do so in a blunt manner. It is important for people born on this day to develop their intuition and sensitivity toward others. Fortunately, between the ages of nineteen and thirty-eight there is an emphasis on emotional sensitivity; but after the age of thirty-nine directness toward others takes center stage and it is more important than ever that they learn to channel this directness positively and sensitively.
With their inventive mind and sharp insight into what a situation or a person needs, there is little doubt that people born on this day (as long as they can master the art of diplomacy) will make a mark on the world by helping and educating others.

Tactless, self indulgent, excessive

Progressive, inventive, knowing
LOVE LOYALTY AND TRUST
People born on February 11 value their personal freedom and need space to breathe in a relationship but they are also firm believers in loyalty and trust. They are easygoing and entertaining and their need for intellectual stimulation will often lead them toward unorthodox or unusual individuals. People born on this day love tenderly and passionately and will use their strong will to help and support those they love.
HEALTH THE HIGH LIFE
People born on this day often find it tough to understand why people don’t agree with their point of view; this can cause them considerable psychological stress. The support of partner, family and friends will help them work through this problem but they may also benefit from counseling. There is also a danger that their love for the high life can lead to weight problems and sexual adventures that can be damaging to their health. Although they may find a healthy diet and regular exercise routine difficult to maintain, they need to understand the strong links between mental, emotional and physical health. Meditating on an amethyst crystal or wearing or surrounding themselves with the color violet will help keep their mood balanced and their step lively.
CAREER BORN INVENTORS
These people are attracted toward any career that involves education, or personal and social development. They are inventive and progressive, making great inventors, computer programmers, and architects. In business, employers will appreciate their willingness to embrace new ideas and they also work well as advisors, specialists, or freelancers. Alternatively, they may devote themselves to charity work, or psychology, philosophy, or spirituality where they can make a difference to people’s lives.
DESTINY TO BREAK NEW GROUND AND EXPERIMENT
The life path of people born on this day is to understand that everyone—including themselves—needs to mess up now and again as it is an important part of the human experience. Once they have learned to become less critical of themselves and others, their destiny is to break new ground and experiment with original concepts.

Aquarius – will be totally unemotional and as the trendsetter for the future, their job is to eliminate as many “walkers” as they can. Aquarians tend to be rebels just for the sake of having their own way so don’t try to stop them…they will do it their way even if others…
