Even if they go to great lengths to avoid trouble, people born on July 21st can rarely stay out of it for long.

Surprisingly, even the mild-mannered and well-behaved among them face such encounters, as if destined to experience unexpected or stimulating events. Of course, for those who are more mischievous, part of the trouble is self-inflicted.

Seeing things from multiple perspectives is their specialty, and they express this sharp wisdom vividly. Yet they are not just strong debaters; they also excel as arbitrators, mediators, and peacemakers. This ability stems from their belief in equality for all, even granting human rights to wrongdoers. This mindset teaches them to view issues from both sides. They treat conflicts as routine, so situations that stress others may seem trivial to them. They often defuse deadlocks with their signature humor in a few words. Despite occasional mood swings, they remain calm and unaffected by external emotions. However, like Mencius—who claimed, "Am I fond of argument? I have no alternative"—they are secretly passionate about debating.
Some born on this day have a flair for performing, thriving on the thrill of public attention. Their performances are often physical, even "heavy metal" in style. However, the more cultivated among them eventually refine this wild physical energy into a pursuit of spiritual depth. Those less motivated may indulge in sensual pleasures, drinking, drug use, or lead a life of self-imposed seclusion disguised as solitude. In extreme cases, some become obsessed with sensory stimulation, grow weary of life, or even entertain thoughts of self-harm.
They are often fascinated by various stimulating things, particularly drawn to entanglements with others. Thus, wars or war games, debate tournaments, investigations, spy stories, detective novels, horror films, or roller coasters hold a fatal allure for them.
Problematically, those born on July 21st may let intense emotions disrupt their own lives and those around them. In severe cases, others may avoid them entirely, labeling them as undesirable company. Generally, however, they are popular in social circles, as their presence guarantees lively, never dull gatherings. They must be cautious not to reflexively oppose others' opinions—even well-meaning advice from relatives and friends—lest they be seen as unreasonable contrarians.
Lucky Numbers and Guardian Stars for July 21st
People born on July 21st are influenced by the number 3 (2+1=3) and Jupiter. Those ruled by 3 tend to be ambitious, even authoritarian. They must avoid becoming overbearing due to their debating skills (influenced by Leo's ruling planet, the Sun) or unrealistic dreamers (shaped by Cancer's ruling planet, the Moon) under Jupiter's optimistic influence. Those governed by 3—especially July 21st natives—easily make enemies, as they tend to provoke hostility.
Health of People Born on July 21st
Many born on this day live recklessly, as if the world might end soon, risking dangers like drunk driving. Even the more conservative among them overestimate their physical invincibility, dismissing accidents, injuries, or illnesses. They dismiss "prevention over cure" as nonsense, clinging to self-taught "health wisdom." Prone to excess, they will face problems if they become addicted to food or alcohol. Don't expect them to adopt regular exercise—they reject such routines.
Advice for People Born on July 21st
Temper your adventurous impulses. Opposing views may hold value—don't ignore them. Explore and strengthen your inner strength. As you age, shift your focus from sensual pleasures to spiritual growth.
