September 12^th people are concerned with the literal meaning of both the written and spoken word. Not only are they interested in words, but also in language and communication of various types. It could be said that they greatly enjoy having an attentive audience. This is not to imply that they are particularly effusive types they understand the importance of restraint. Indeed, most born on this day are actually quiet and private people. Overtly active and hardworking, they prefer on occasion to let their actions speak for them instead of the word which they value so highly.

     Ethical issues are of the greatest importance to September 12^th people and those who have public or administrative careers are not only capable of cleaning up the act of an organization or social group but also of managing to keep it running in a smooth and efficient, albeit unconventional , way.

     September 12^th people are not always easy to get in touch with. Both in the workplace and at home they tend to hide out, surrounding themselves with all sorts of defense mechanisms which make it hard to get through to them.

   Although expansive in their thoughts and projects, those born on this day are much too pragmatic and realistic to be blind optimists. There is a strongly measured, even cynical streak running through them that despises all forms of over enthusiasm and hysterical behavior.

     Those born on the 12^th of the month are ruled by the number 3(2+1=3. Those ruled by the number 3 frequently rise to the highest positions in their sphere.
