Love In love with love
Relationships have a powerful, overwhelming effect on people born on January 6 and they run the risk of getting lost in them. Sometimes they can give the impression that they are more in love with the idea of love than with the person themselves; it is important for them to learn to take in a relationship as well as give. Having a wide circle of intelligent friends can stop them becoming overly dependent on a partner.
Health Ease up on yourself
Those born on this day need to make sure that their passion for ideals and for others does not make them neglect their own health and well-being. They need to eat healthily and get plenty of sleep so that they can tackle life’s challenges with their irresistible energy. At some point in their life they might suffer from some kind of skin problem, but this usually clears up when attention is paid to diet and lifestyle. There is a danger that they can get caught up by overly strict or demanding diet or lifestyle changes recommended by charismatic gurus, such as diets that eliminate food groups or overdose on protein. They need to remember that the key to a healthy diet, as well as to a healthy life, is balance. Sociable forms of exercise such as dancing and aerobics are recommended, and a few drops of lemon essential oil on their pillow or bedclothes at night will help them go to sleep and wake up refreshed.
Career Born visionaries
In work, as in life, these people have a vision; if they can’t communicate it effectively in their profession, they may decide to go it alone, either by setting up their own business or by becoming self-employed. They make ideal therapists, doctors, counselors, engineers, architects, property developers, computer programmers, psychologists or alternative health practitioners. They may also be drawn toward religion or spirituality.
Destiny Help others learn about themselves
The life task of people born on this day is to spread the message that it is possible to unite opposites, the positive and the negative, the idealistic with the practical, the spiritual and the mundane. Their destiny is to help others deal with their fears and uncertainties, and discover their own truth.

Although those born on January 7 give the impression of being serious and intense, they are irresistibly drawn to anything different, strange and unfamiliar. They have a strong sense of duty and responsibility but secretly dream of living an unconventional life in which they can follow their own rules.
Mentally those born on this day are both logical and intuitive, which makes them unique. They are artists with a scientific mind or scientists with an intuitive flair. They have the instinctive gift of being able to sense the moods of other people and, despite their apparent distance from a situation, they can often understand more about what is going on around them than anyone else. Their nature is also highly sensitive. They find it hard to switch off from the suffering and injustices of the world; as a result, they may frequently become involved in charity work or generously give their time for the benefit of others. Because they can tune in so quickly to what is going on around them, they are always in danger of absorbing negativity from others. Seeking out situations and people that are positive and steady, and avoiding the negative, are therefore important.
January 7 people are dreamers but they rarely let themselves get carried away. As a result, their occasional tendency to drift off into a world of their own can make them feel lonely and cut off from everything and everyone around them. They often have a real sense of connection with the natural world and an extraordinary imagination. Fascination with the mystical, with unexplained phenomena and the afterlife is common, especially after the age of forty-four, sometimes sooner, although fear of being criticized or thought "weird" may prevent them from pursuing their interests.
It is extremely important for those born on this day to develop their self-confidence and to accept that the opinions of others, although valuable, are not final. In this way they will be able to let their frustration go and find the freedom of expression that is so crucial for their happiness and fulfillment.
On the dark side
Isolated, intense, dreamy
At your best
Unusual, intuitive, generous
Love Hot and intense
Relationships with people born on January 7 tend to be very intense; they are attracted to people who are broad minded, unusual or different in some way. Until they develop their self-confidence, they are not always good at asking for what they want, or letting their guard down and showing their true feelings. However, when they feel secure in themselves and in a relationship, they are loyal and passionate partners.
Health Sleep matters
People born on this day tend to be highly sensitive, and as a result fatigue and stress can be a problem. They are particularly susceptible to digestive disorders and need to make sure they eat a fiber-rich diet and take plenty of exercise. Unusual forms of exercise like Tai Chi may appeal. Because fatigue is a common problem, they may need to make sure they eat plenty of foods rich in iron, such as tofu, turkey and legumes, to protect against anemia—a common cause of fatigue—and get more sleep. They should aim for between six and eight hours a night because a good night’s sleep is extremely important for them. A glass of chamomile tea can help them unwind before sleep.
Career Born planners
These people thrive in careers that require them to use their mind and their imaginative powers. They make great teachers, writers, career counselors and artists, but their humanitarian focus may also lead them toward charitable or social work. They are willing to work behind the scenes as a producer, programmer or agent and their superb organizational skills could also point them to roles in administration, research or management.
Destiny To unite opposites
The life path of those born on this day is to learn to have faith in themselves. Once they can do that, their destiny is to share their talent with the world by crossing boundaries, healing differences and uniting opposites.

Give and receive in equal measure
When you help or give to someone else, without expecting anything in return, you double your chances of both luck and happiness.
People born on January 8 always make their presence felt. They are born with stunning potential to rise and shine above all obstacles and make an impact on the world around them.
Those born on this day expect to be acknowledged by others; as a result, others always come away impressed. Single-minded, hard-working, courageous and forceful, they have the potential within them to achieve almost everything they want. Because of their determined nature there can sometimes be a tendency to overdo things, so they need to make sure they do not become too obsessive by spending time with friends and loved ones, and having plenty of interests.
The belief, enthusiasm and dedication that people born on this day have for projects they love is not the only thing that makes them stand out from the crowd. They also possess great charm and sensitivity, and the ability to put people at ease. Although naturally intuitive, it is important that they do not let practicality and worldly ambition obscure this talent as it will serve them well in all areas of life, in particular their close personal relationships. After the age of forty-three their intuition and emotional sensitivity often increase.
The irony is that despite their almost superhuman confidence and self-possessed exterior, underneath they do from time to time feel anxious and insecure, with a tendency to wallow in dark moods and become despondent and demanding. Their hidden insecurities can also manifest in an impatience and intolerance of others or an egotistical desire to put others down. Every now and again they need to step off the pedestal they have made for themselves so that they can devote both their time and their considerable energy to nurturing friendships based on mutual love, understanding and respect.
If they can stay positive and develop tolerance and humility in their relationships with others, there is nothing to hold back people born on this day. They are meant to shine and, with their inspired awareness, inner strength and self-discipline, shine they well.
On the dark side
Egotistical, impatient, intolerant
At your best
Courageous, forceful, authoritative
Love Intense and passionate
Those born on January 8 can have the tendency to be controlling; in some circumstances they may become obsessive and jealous. They need to check this tendency as it can destroy relationships. Having said that, they can be extremely warm and generous in a relationship when they feel secure enough to let down their guard and trust someone else.
Health Time to play
Competitive sports appeal to people born on this day but they might benefit more from playing games like charades, because such games give them a chance to laugh both at themselves and with others. Because they possess a tendency to push themselves too hard, they need to watch out for stress-related illnesses such as headaches, insomnia and depression. They also need to watch their posture, especially if they spend much of their day hunched in front of work or a computer. They should avoid rich food and steer clear of drugs altogether. If stress is a constant part of their daily routine, burning a chamomile—, lavender—or sandalwood-scented candle can produce a calming effect.
Career Born achievers
Whatever career these people choose, they tend to rise to the top, be it in the arts (where they can employ their imagination), the sciences (where they can employ their analytical skills), business (where they can employ their explosive impact on others) or humanitarian work (where they can employ their understanding and sympathetic nature). They can also make great designers and property developers, and their ability to communicate, teach and inspire others may lead them to education, politics, spirituality, medicine and philosophy.
Destiny To rise above the odds
The life path of people born on this day is to rise above the odds. Once they have developed their communication skills and the ability to put others at their ease, their destiny is to show others that the possibilities are always there and that if they keep positive and put in the necessary hard work they will be victorious.

“ Recognizing the positive in others, I recognize the positive in myself”

Your greatest challenge is…
learning not to lose your temper
The way forward is…
to take a break. Go for a walk. A nap can clear things out; so can chatting with friends or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. If you’re going to lose it, keep your cool until you can blow off some steam somewhere safe.
You’re drawn to people born on…
March 21 to April 20
You share a mutual energy and an adventurous approach to life and to love, making this a hot and passionate union.
Luck maker
Don’t burn your bridges
One of the most effective ways to avoid bad luck is to have as few enemies as possible.
People born on January 9 tend to be fast-acting, thinking and feeling. They want to rise to the top and will do what it takes to get them there. In both their work and their home life they strive for nothing but the best. They demand high standards from both themselves and others, and they detest mediocrity with a passion. Yet because January 9 people place a high value on initiative and their personal freedom, they often prefer to work or forge ahead alone rather than in a group.
So focused are January 9 people on striving that they rarely take time to savor their achievements or even the present moment; they find it particularly hard to relax or switch off. It is of great importance for them to have a partner, friend or even a pet to help them unwind and take themselves and their goals a little less seriously. Typically around the age of forty-two, sometimes sooner, their sensitivity toward others and their inner life becomes more prominent.
January 9 people are amazingly good at overcoming obstacles and difficulties, and can bounce back from almost anything. However in the process of recovery they can also manifest a ruthless side. If knocked down they will claw their way back by whatever means are available, even if that means upsetting trusted friends along the way and making enemies. They need to learn that one of the secrets of success is not to have enemies. Anger, sometimes violent anger, is often their first response, but if they can remain a little more detached and learn some objectivity they will discover that there are always other ways of dealing with a frustrating situation.
Totally fearless, those born on this day have an abundance of admirable qualities. If they can learn to listen to their conscience and strive to maintain balance as hard as they strive to attain success, there is nothing to stop them enjoying the liberating benefits of a purposeful life that sparkles with happiness and excitement.
On the dark side
Ruthless, mistrustful, reckless
At your best
Ambitious, forceful, resilient
Love Ardent lovers
People born on January 9 are passionate and ardent lovers. They are forceful and energetic, and need a partner who can understand and keep up with their physical energy. They are also extremely idealistic about relationships and believe in having a soul mate. Family is also extremely important for people born on this day and they are capable of making enormous sacrifice for those they love.
Health Take more time out
Because they tend to drive themselves so hard, those born on this day are prone to stress, fatigue and a lowered immune system. In other words, if they don’t take care of themselves they can lose a lot of time to poor health and infection. It is essential that they take regular time out and eat a healthy and balanced diet to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need to stay strong and healthy. As far as exercise is concerned, gentle exercise is recommended as they can be fatally attracted to extreme and dangerous sports. They may be reluctant to take a gentle daily workout or even go on holiday, but both are essential for them to help restore balance in their lives. A cup of lemon balm herbal tea will help promote digestion and induce calm.
Career Born experimenters
The need to progress means that these people need jobs that promise advancement, variety or excitement. If they are drawn to business, they may be interested in marketing or advertising. Other careers that can attract them include politics, the media, the arts or any job that involves plenty of travel and challenge. Astronomy and computer programming may hold particular appeal. They may well experiment with a variety of careers until they settle in and excel in their chosen vocation.
Destiny To break through barriers
Ambitious and driven, people born on this day lead by example, showing others that going that extra mile really can make a difference. Once they have learned to focus more on the present moment than the future reward, their destiny is to break through outmoded ways of behavior and in the process strive to make the world a better place.

You share a passion for directness and a love of the unconventional; this can create a stimulating and intense bond.
Luck maker
Pay others compliments more often
The more you can make others feel good about themselves, the more impressed they are likely to be by you.
People born on January 10 are a force to be reckoned with. They feel an irresistible urge to speak their mind at all times. As a result they are highly valued by others for their honesty and for their realistic assessment of a situation. They are never afraid to support an unconventional viewpoint and to champion the underdog.
Those born on this day tell it like it is, and this quality can bring them success and admiration, taking them to the very top. On the downside, their inability to sugarcoat or dress up the truth can on occasion upset people around them, stopping them advancing as fast in life as their more diplomatic peers. The trouble with the straight-shooting approach is that it doesn’t take into account the possibility of hope, and so January 10 people can sometimes come across as grumpy. This isn’t, however, a fair reflection of their personality. They are neither negative people nor are they unhappy; they just see things the way they are, warts and all. Typically around the age of forty-one, often sooner, they become more emotionally sensitive to the needs of others.
Although the no-nonsense approach of people born on this day can shock others on first contact, in the long term people often find their clear-sighted approach very refreshing; in times of crisis or uncertainty people will seek advice from people born on this day. Although more than happy to take on this role—as the respect of others is important for them—the very same qualities that earned them respect from others can also create distance as they may find it hard to empathize with people less able to cope with change and the ups and downs of life. Once they begin to understand that not everyone is as clear-sighted as they are, and that a gentle approach can help them achieve their objectives more effectively, people born on this day discover that not only can they earn the lasting loyalty of others, they also have the ability to make a powerful impact on the world around them.
On the dark side
Tactless, jealous, distant
At your best
Honest, direct, accepting
