Love Not a closed book
There is a tendency for those born on January 10 to come across as a bit of a closed book. Lack of trust in others can make them act in a controlling, jealous and sometimes unfaithful manner. Material considerations can also become too important a factor in close relationships. However, when they find a lover who sees the generosity and vulnerability behind their pride and their rough and ready exterior, they can be sensual and passionate lovers.
Health Stay flexible
The tough, hardy exterior of people born on this day can manifest in health problems associated with rigidity, such as backache, arthritis, poor circulation and so on. They need to find an energetic physical outlet such as squash, aerobics or rock climbing; yoga or stretching for flexibility can help temper their strength with calmness. A healthy diet and plenty of fresh air and sunshine are also recommended, as these will help keep them feeling physically and emotionally light. If they find themselves feeling sad for no apparent reason, a bergamot-scented candle can help lift their mood. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to be more spontaneous.
Career Born troubleshooters
Careers in which they can solve problems for others or troubleshoot have great appeal for these people; for example, building, construction or computer programming. If attracted to the arts, financial rewards will be important; they will go for big-business ideas rather than specialist niches and they are also likely to excel in careers that offer good financial return, such as management, advertising and promotion. Their unconventional flair may lead them to explore the unknown; space tourist travel may have particular appeal.
Destiny To bring others closer to the truth
The life path of people born on this day is to bring others closer to the truth with their honest and realistic assessment of situations. Their destiny is to make an impact on others and the world they live in with their spirited determination and no-fuss approach to problem solving.

Luck maker
Give others the benefit of the doubt
If you think the best of others they are more likely to fulfill that expectation.
Those born on January 11 have a natural talent for assessing every situation and measuring everyone they meet. They find little difficulty in discarding what isn’t needed and see to the heart of people and situations, judging them according to their own very high standards. When the formidable powers of perception of people born on this day are combined with their great intelligence, this results in individuals who are outstanding decision makers.
Underlying this talent for assessment is a strong sense of justice that always strives to be fair. They feel compelled to do the right thing in life and to pass judgment but sometimes they can have problems distinguishing what the right thing or judgment is for them and what the right thing is for others. As a result they can easily convince themselves into thinking that they need to take responsibility for everyone and everything; this is when problems can start, as it can lead to domineering or controlling behavior and the belief that their word really is the law.
It is important for people born on this day to learn to pronounce their opinions less forcibly so that they do not offend those who do not share their point of view. This won’t always be easy, but alongside their inflexibility there is also a very caring and compassionate nature. If they can tap more into that, they will begin to understand that it is not just their right, but everybody’s right, to have a difference of opinion. Typically around the age of forty, often sooner, their emotional sensitivity becomes stronger and they develop a more powerful inner life.
Those born on this day place high standards on others but they place even higher standards upon themselves. Because they have the courage and determination to live up to these standards, they often do find themselves in the very position they crave: that of the judgment maker. Others will seek them out for advice, judgment and, when they learn to be a little less inflexible, inspiration.
On the dark side
Dominating, stubborn, superior
At your best
Balanced, objective, fair
Love Loyal and devoted
Once people born on January 11 find a partner who can stimulate their mind or inspire them creatively, they are extremely loyal and devoted. Although relating comes naturally to them, they can at times be reluctant to open up emotionally. There is also a danger that they can take on too much responsibility for the relationship; they need to learn sometimes to stand back, open their heart and let their partner take the lead.
Health Take care of their own needs
These people need to be extremely careful that they don’t suffer from compassion overload, by wearing themselves out caring for others or fighting for their rights. They need to learn to let go every now and again and to care for their own needs, both physical and emotional. When it comes to diet, they need to avoid anything restrictive or excessive and enjoy a balanced and varied diet; perhaps with a multi-vitamin and mineral to guard against nutritional deficiencies. They should also make sure they get regular, gentle exercise. Burning candles scented with cypress, clary sage, jasmine, coriander, cloves or sandalwood and wearing, meditating or surrounding themselves with the color silver should help them feel more secure and at peace.
Career Born helpers
People born on this day are drawn toward careers where they can help others. Their compassion means that they excel in education, teaching or careers working with children or students, counseling or psychology. They may also be drawn to careers in research in which they can use their sharp, incisive mind, or careers in which they can fight injustice, such as politics, social work, law or even the clergy. They also make fine alternative therapists and astrologers, and their skill in communication suggests a knack for writing, music and the arts.
Destiny To help others turn dreams into reality
Once they have learned to develop compassion and sensitivity toward the weaknesses of others, the life path of people born on this day is to fight injustice in the world and right wrongs. By so doing they will discover their destiny, which is to help others turn hopes and dreams into practical reality.

Luck maker
Rethink your priorities
If you had one year to live, what would your priorities be?
People born on January 12 don’t do things by half measures and once they have settled on a goal they pursue it with intense and single-minded dedication. Whatever their calling in life, whether it be raising a family, teaching a class or running for president, it becomes their single purpose in life. They are forever on the look-out for opportunities, ideas and people that can help them achieve their goals. Because work is so important to them and they run the risk of sacrificing their personal identity to it, it is vital that they choose their careers wisely.
The need to be the center of attention that characterizes people born on this day is more often than not a result of putting their emotional life on hold in pursuit of their goals in life. Sometimes they can be so driven that they lose touch not only with their friends and family but also with themselves. It is extremely important therefore for people born on this day to remember to respect not only their own feelings but also the feelings of others. They need to carve out a personal life separate from work and a spiritual life that gives them regular time out. Typically around the age of thirty-nine, hopefully sooner, they place more emphasis on their emotional life; this is reflected in their dreams and their visions, as well as the way in which they interact with others.
The single-minded approach of people born on this day, combined with their sharp wit and strong level of commitment, can promise great potential for success. And if all that wasn’t enough, they also appear to be blessed with uncanny good fortune. Just as they can swing between high and low moods, their lives can also swing between disaster and sudden good fortune. Out of the blue they may receive a gift, a promotion or the break that they need. Finding balance by placing more emphasis on emotional and spiritual ideals is the key to their survival and their ability to attract all that they need to rise to the very top.
On the dark side
Restricted, extreme, arrogant
At your best
Tolerant, dedicated, insightful
Love Learn to relax
Those born on January 12 are attracted to people who share their singleminded approach to life. They are, however, actually happier with people who are less driven and single-minded and who have a more casual, relaxed approach. Such people can give them the perspective and the fun they need to unwind. Although they may appear confident when it comes to affairs of the heart, they can be reserved and may find it hard to commit or make the first move.
Health Don’t take your health for granted
Those born on this day tend to take their health for granted as they pursue their goals. More often than not they have a strong constitution and remarkable energy but if they neglect their health or burn the midnight oil for too long they are at risk of becoming overweight, unfit or malnourished. It is important for them to have a routine of regular exercise, and to eat regular meals and snacks to keep their energy and their metabolism on the go. Meditation will encourage their self-awareness and to stop themselves from overeating sweet foods to keep their energy levels up, the sweet smell of vanilla will help stop that sweet tooth.
Career Born winners
The sky really is the limit for these people. They are likely to succeed in whatever career they choose because they are so single-minded in their approach. The biggest struggle for them is not likely to be progressing in their career but deciding what career to pursue in the first place. If they decide to become self-employed they can do well as a trader, an agent or a negotiator. Although independent-minded, they can work well in cooperative situations, often excelling in diplomacy, politics, coaching and team sports. They may also wish to explore their considerable artistic and musical talents.
Destiny To dedicate themselves to a cause or purpose
The life path of people born on this day is to dedicate themselves to a purpose or cause. Once they are able to find a sense of balance, their destiny is to live through glory as well as defeat and in the process achieve true greatness.

You’re drawn to people born on…
October 24 to November 22
You share a broad outlook and a passion for accomplishment and this can create an imaginative and exciting union.
Luck maker
Have faith
Unwavering self-belief when the going gets tough generates the ability and enthusiasm you need to succeed.
Progression is the key word for those born on January 13. They never stand still, always moving forward in their lives, whatever their circumstances or start in life. Their ability to overcome obstacles and make even the most difficult of transitions or tasks seem easy gives them a natural charisma.
Those who make life seem easy are universally favored, and people born on this day not only have the ability to succeed; they also have the ability to keep their cool when all around are losing theirs. When setbacks occur they pick themselves up, learn from their mistakes and do all it takes to reach their goals; and reach them they will.
People born on this day have no problems leaving their past behind them. They understand the importance of letting go in order to progress and move beyond limitations. They particularly enjoy initiating new projects and ideas, and they work steadily and in a disciplined way until they have attained what they desire. Although their imagination and intelligence give them the potential to succeed in many areas, the arena of social and humanitarian reform has particular appeal for them. Of course they feel disappointment and disillusion at times—they are human like everyone else—but typically after the age of thirty-eight, more often than not sooner, they discover the importance of making their mind work for rather than against themselves.
It’s impossible for people born on January 13 to hold back in any way and they cannot see the point of doing anything unless one hundred per cent of one’s attention and energy is given. If others are not committed or are lazy or not paying attention, they will let them know. They will progress faster if they can understand that not everyone has the same drive or need for achievement as they have, and that sometimes the price for having high ideals means that they have to stand alone. By taking time out to relax they can discover whether they have being pushing themselves too hard or have become too detached from the world they are so committed to improving.
On the dark side
Stubborn, rebellious, bossy
At your best
High achiever, expert, revolutionary
Love Charismatic flirts
People born on January 13 tend to be attracted to a partner from whom they can learn or who are a step higher than them on the social ladder. They need to respect and admire their partner rather than the other way round and take great pride in his or her success or accomplishment. Until they find someone to whom they feel ready to commit, their charismatic personality naturally attracts admirers and can mean they will have an erratic love life, sometimes with numerous partners in succession.
Health Healthy is better than perfect
Those born on this day are likely to look after their health as they learn early in life that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. They need to take care that they do not become too obsessive, however, and worry about their health to the extent that every ache and pain has meaning. Exercise is important to keep them flexible and toned but again they need to take care that they do not overwork themselves in a quest for physical perfection. Spending more time in nature or reading, meditating or surrounding themselves with shades of green should help keep them grounded and disciplined but also flexible enough to change course if it becomes necessary.
Career Born advisors
The ability of these people to stay calm in a crisis ideally suits them to careers in medicine, the armed forces, personal relations and the emergency services. They may also be attracted to education, where the fields of philosophy and psychology may be of particular interest. Their obligation to society and making the world a better place may draw them toward humanitarian causes. Imaginative and creative enough to work alone, these individuals are also happy working for others in advisory or specialist roles.
Destiny To make the world a more harmonious place
The life path of people born on this day is to rise above adversity and help others do the same. Once they have found the courage to stand alone and have learned to respect differences as well as similarities in others, their destiny is to make the world a more harmonious place by bringing people together and settling disputes.

14 January the birthday of conviction
Your greatest challenge is…
finding direction and purpose for your life
The way forward is…
to understand that you succeed best when you find an activity you truly love and believe in.
You’re drawn to people born on…
August 24 to September 23
You share a passion for keeping busy and taking on new challenges; this creates an adventurous union based on respect and mutual understanding.
Luck maker
Bend but don’t break
You do need consistency but you also need to be open-minded and willing to reconsider your options if life gives you reason to.
One of the greatest strengths of those born on January 14 is their ability to take in vast amounts of information and still see the bigger picture. They are shrewd judges of people and situations, and their inquisitive mind is forever hungry for new ideas, new information and new challenges. Because they have this panoramic view, they are particularly good at decision making. Their strong sense of right and wrong, combined with their highly developed sense of conviction and certainty, makes them excellent and much-sought-after peacemakers, both at home and at work.
Unfortunately the conviction and certainty possessed by those born on this day also have their attendant dangers. Once they have settled on a course of action, it is almost impossible for them to change course and they may go to extreme lengths to see things through to the bitter end. Ironically for people who are so uncompromising and committed in their work life, they aren’t always able to make that same level of commitment to their personal life. In fact their personal life definitely takes second place. This may be because they believe that emotions and connections with other people are a distraction from their primary purpose in life, but it may also be the result of a fear of being disappointed. The way forward for them is to apply the same level of commitment to potential friends and partners, and to learn to respect and appreciate the emotional support of others.
Although they appear to be extremely confident and have the ability to implement radical change, they are inwardly far more complex than they appear. Behind the solid, strong image and the apparent love of risk-taking and innovation lies a person who often feels misunderstood; these feelings are heightened if they haven’t found a direction in life to which to devote their considerable energies. Once they understand that it is not leadership, material wealth or high rank that they crave but personal freedom and the ability to bring about positive change in the world, they can leave their insecurities behind and achieve miracles.
On the dark side
Stubborn, obsessed, insecure
At your best
Peacemaker, inquisitive, risk-taker
