#But this book has been weirdly accurate for every muse I've ever played so I thought it would be fun to see what it said about John lol.

October 28
The Birthday of Preparation
Your Greatest Challenge Is: Taking a risk. The Way Forward Is: To understand that when a risk is calculated, it is not reckless but a way to move forward in your life. On The Dark Side: Workaholic; detached; confused. At Your Best: Dedicated; detailed; inquisitive.
People born on October 28 tend to be very committed to their career and therefore the choice of career is of utmost important to them. They may take a while to find their vocation, but once they do they nearly always reach the top of the field. This is in part due to the incredible effort they are willing to put in and their eye for detail. One of their biggest fears is being caught unprepared but this is largely unfounded as they are among the most organized and well-prepared individuals of the year.
They will often be completely absorbed in their work to the extent that they don’t have much of a life outside. Although this means that they nearly always reach the very top of their field, which more often than not is dedicated to improving or educating others, there is a heavy price to pay. They may come across as overly serious or preoccupied and, if they haven’t got friends and family to give them a sense of perspective, they are in danger of becoming emotionally isolated, completely losing their spontaneity and ability to have fun.
Until the age of twenty-five they are likely to be at their most serious and intense but after this age there is a turning point that highlights a need for freedom. Opportunities will be presented to them to expand their horizons, whether through travel, further education or study, and it is important that they take advantage of these because they offer them the chance to become a more fully rounded and fulfilled human being, rather than a human working.
Above all, these people are inquisitive individuals with an insatiable desire to explore. Fascinated with the tiny details that can make all the difference, their logical mind gives them the potential to make pioneering contributions to the world. And if they can learn to expend as much energy discovering and preparing themselves for the wonderful adventures life has to offer outside work, they will also be able to create lasting connections with the world.

#Character Study {Meta}#Spilled Ink {Headcanon}#I don't believe in Astrology.#But this book has been weirdly accurate for every muse I've ever played so I thought it would be fun to see what it said about John lol.#I feel like this is a mixture of both who John MAY have been if he hadn't defied his father by leaving England to join the Continental Army#and who he ultimately is anyways.#In truth he was described as being VERY reckless at least with his own life. But he also tended to bow to the wishes of his father#and thus never actually took a risk until he got away from him.#He was the eldest son and thus expected to have a certain level of maturity and obedience.#He /is/ always prepared at least on my blog.#My John wanted to be a doctor not a lawyer so he ALWAYS has some kind of medicine or first aid readily available.#He does eventually make a 'calculated risk' by defying Henry's wishes to go back to law school following Combahee.#He refuses and goes to medical school instead knowing there was a good chance he would struggle to make it on his own without his father.#But he considered the risk worth it because he had almost died and he refused to live whatever life he had left doing something he hated.#Patience Is A Virtue {Queue}
