Love Passions run deep
The passions of those born on January 14 run deep and they are typically uncomplicated by jealousy. Family, friends and loved ones need to be extremely faithful, patient and understanding but it is well worth the effort as they make adventurous and exciting lovers. Their ideal partner is somebody with a like mind who does not get jealous or possessive and supports them in their convictions.
Health Accident prone
Fortunately, people born on this day are unlikely to be tempted by drugs, drink or smoking and this has a protective effect on their health, both physical and emotional. Unfortunately, despite their common-sense approach to health, they are often guilty of driving themselves too hard or living on the edge. Their body inevitably pays the price with accidents and stress-related headaches and insomnia. They are attracted to extreme sports but their health would be better served by gentle to moderate exercise, such as cycling or swimming. A cup of lemon balm or passion-flower herbal tea before bed time will help them sleep well and relieve any aches and pains.
Career Born people watchers
It is important for these people to find an outlet for their powers of observation, their ability to see the whole picture and their untapped well of creativity. Writing and photography may be of particular interest, as might property development and design, but because of their unusual ambition and determination they can master almost any skill or career. The media, public relations and advertising may appeal, and as might careers in business, banking and the stock exchange.
Destiny To introduce positive reforms
The life path of people born on this day is to find a cause to which they can devote their considerable energy. Once they have learned the importance of connections with others they will discover their destiny, which is to introduce reforms or groundbreaking ways of doing or looking at things.

Luck maker
Share the spotlight
This won’t come easily for you, but denying others recognition is foolish. Lucky people give credit, share their success and by so doing attract opportunities their way.
Idealistic, ambitious and determined, those born on January 15 have a strong desire to lead and inspire. For them, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil.
Motivated perhaps by inspirational role models in their childhood or student years, those born on this day are full of innovative ideas and dynamic energy, combined with a passionate desire to make the world a better place. They are especially sensitive to the feelings of others, giving them great interpersonal skills. They have the ability to win others over to their position, and although others may find them uncompromising at times, they will also admire their seductive and fascinating power and are more than happy to follow their lead.
The Achilles heel for people born on this day is their desire for recognition or credit. They are unlikely to feel fulfilled toiling anonymously for their cause as they feel it is their purpose to lead and raise awareness. Since they are most likely to devote themselves to idealistic and ethical concerns, this is not generally a problem; but if they are drawn toward matters less worthy of them, there is a danger that this need for praise and recognition can become obsessive and ego-driven.
People born on this day do like the world to see them as the invincible conqueror and, with their dramatic flair, people tend to see them in exactly that way. This can create problems for them, however, because they possess a sensitive, generous and vulnerable side that needs to be allowed to express itself. Typically at around the age of thirty-six, sometimes sooner, their emotional sensitivity becomes more enhanced. This shift toward the inner life is an extremely positive thing for people born on this day, because when they are able to manage rather than suppress their hidden vulnerabilities they will discover what it really is like to be the protagonist and wear a hero’s crown.

Love Passionate by nature
People born on January 15 have a powerful sex drive and a passionate nature. They are attracted to partners who can match their emotional and physical energy and who give them lots of attention and admiration. When they fall in love they give all of their body and mind but before they reach that point in their emotional life they will almost certainly have experimented a great deal sexually.
Health Moderation is key
The pleasure-seeking side of people born on this day can lead to excess. They need to watch that their love of rich food and pleasure does not lead to weight gain and excess. They also need to be careful that they don’t swing the other way and become excessively strict in their diet and exercise regime. Moderation in diet and exercise is extremely important. Joining a sports team or gym would be particularly beneficial as it would help them get fit while others admire their progress. They may suffer from poor circulation and feel the cold more than most. Sensitive skin also suffers in strong sunlight. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with shades of blue and green will help keep them balanced and uplifted.
Career Born campaigners
These people often find themselves speaking or arguing on behalf of others, fighting for human rights or leading a campaign to raise awareness. They may actively seek out this role or find that at some point in their life it is thrust upon them, finding that the challenge suits them. Whatever career they choose—be it social reform, architecture, management, fine art, civil rights campaigning, health care or science—they are likely to be dramatic, innovative and just a cut above the rest.
Destiny To be a voice of the people
The life path of people born on this day is to find a vocation in which they truly believe. Once they find a goal or a direction that is worthy of them and understand that in the drama of their life other people have their parts to play. the destiny of people born on this day is to be the voice of the people.

Those born on January 16 love the idea of successfully completing projects to the best of their ability. They have great organizational skills and it gives them enormous satisfaction and fulfillment to see a job well done. Although satisfactory completion is their goal, it is important for them not to become overly critical or negative about themselves or others when results are not as good as expected.
January 16 people prefer structure, routine and certainty to variation and uncertainty, as they believe it will increase their chances of accomplishing tasks or projects. Paradoxically, though, when their lives become too structured they can become restless and prone to risk-taking or attempting impossible challenges or goals.
Even though they are often highly valued and admired, when things don’t go according to plan they can become over-anxious about their future direction, or prone to the belief that they can never live up to their own expectations. It’s possible that in childhood great things were expected of them by their parents and this created a tendency toward introspection and living in the future; if allowed to develop to its extreme, this can lead to feelings of inferiority and despair. They need to understand that they are destined for success, but driving themselves and others into the ground in the process is not necessarily the right approach. Once they have learned to value what they do have, they will discover that the satisfaction they crave comes not just from a job well done but from within and from close personal relationships.
Typically around the age of thirty-five, often sooner, they reach a turningpoint that emphasizes the importance of being more in touch with their emotions and the present moment. Above all, they must not settle for fear and uncertainty about what may happen in the future because within them is the strength they need to deal with setbacks; once they can view their mistakes not as failures but as opportunities to learn and grow, they have the potential for an extraordinary life.
On the dark side
Irresponsible, dissatisfied, anxious
At your best
Responsible, insightful, thorough
Love Actions speak louder than words
Those born on January 16 can have trouble admitting to their feelings. They prefer to show their love to partners, family and friends by doing things, helping out, encouraging or buying small gifts every so often. There is also a side to them which longs for freedom and is prone to irresponsible behavior. They need to find a partner to whom they feel comfortable opening up and who can give them both the security and the freedom they need to be the caring, loyal and generous lover they can be.
Health Kick-start
People born on this day can become lazy or complacent about their health, and their energy levels may slump as a result. They need to eat regular meals and snacks to keep them going at full speed ahead. Energetic forms of exercise are recommended, as is a diet low in sugar, processed and refined food, and full of energy-boosting nutrient-rich vegetables and whole grains. They also need to make sure they have around eight hours’ sleep a night; any more than this will have the opposite effect and make them feel lethargic. Drinking green tea (instead of black tea, tea with milk, or coffee) will give them an instant energy boost.
Career Born managers
In the world of business, these people make excellent managers or troubleshooters and their systematic approach to life also makes them great organizers, accountants and administrators. Publishing and law are also careers that appeal to them, as well as careers that involve dealing with the public, such as sales, personal relations or teaching. They may also find outlets for their emotional expression in music or the arts.
Destiny To help others do things the right way
The life path of people born on this day is to communicate to others the importance of doing things the right way and the satisfaction that can be gained from seeing tasks through to the end. Their destiny is to leave the world not just a tidier but a happier place.

December 22 to January 20
You share a tough and uncompromising approach to life, and united the two of you are unstoppable.
Luck maker
Mix with people you admire
Success attracts success, just as negativity attracts negativity, so don’t mix with negative, grumpy people; mix with positive, up-beat people who can lift your spirits and your expectations of success.
People born on January 17 prefer to take the lead, not because they are highly ambitious, egotistical or driven to succeed, but because having assessed the situation and weighed up the pros and cons, it is clear to them that they really are the best person for the job. Despite being cautious and respectful of tradition, people born on this day can also hold some progressive ideas with respect to social reform. They like not only to lead but also to help others.
A defining characteristic of people born on this day is their firm self-belief and strong will. Often their tough-minded approach to life has developed as a result of early hardships, and these difficulties may have taught them that the only person upon whom they can really rely at the end of the day is themselves. This gives them an almost superhuman degree of self-control that is simultaneously inspirational and alarming to others. They really do know the meaning of the word "struggle," and are a model of success achieved through one’s own efforts.
Leading and defending their position as leader come naturally to people born on this day. Their uncompromising attitude to life and to work can alienate others, and they would do well to learn that there are alternative ways to get people on their side, such as cooperation and good will. Perhaps because of the struggles they have been through, or the past hurts they have experienced, they can find it hard to trust others.
Although those born on this day realize how important it is to feel in control of their lives, there is a danger for some of them in focusing their energy on changing their outside circumstances instead of the way they think and feel about themselves. Fortunately, in their early thirties, often earlier, there is a shift toward this inner life. Once they begin to understand that selfcontrol starts from within not without—and that negative thoughts and feelings can be challenged—their originality and directness aren’t just admired by others, they are considered inspirational.
On the dark side
Argumentative, narrow-minded, reckless
At your best
Purposeful, tough, committed
Love The freedom to love
Just as people born on January 17 like to take the lead in their working and social life, the same applies to their intimate relationships. Although loyal, loving and generous, they can also be extremely domineering and controlling; as they are attracted to equally powerful, independent people, such tendencies can create tension. They need to learn that freedom and independence are as valid and important in a relationship as intimacy and trust.
Health Work it out
People born on this day must be careful that they don’t rely too much on stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine to keep their energy levels high. They need to realize that a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of sleep and exercise is the best way to prevent fatigue and boost concentration. Because they have a tendency to repress their emotions, especially their anger, they need to find activities such as competitive or extreme sports in which they can safely express this side of their nature before it erupts in their daily lives. Volunteer work will also help boost their morale. They will benefit from regular reflexology massages and from wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with shades of brown, as this color will encourage them to relax.
Career Born disciplinarians
These people value careers in which self-control, organization and discipline are important, such as the armed forces, the police force or the clergy. They are also extremely good at delegating and supervising others, so management roles, politics and the civil service may appeal. They may also have an interest in food, fashion or catering, as well as careers in which they can inspire others, such as teaching and charity work.
Destiny To lead others by their fine example
The life path of people born on this day is to use their self-discipline and selfcontrol to overcome adversity. Once they have learned to get others on their side with cooperation and mutual understanding, and to lead by example, their destiny is to encourage others to work harmoniously together.

18 January the birthday of fantasy
Your greatest challenge is…
learning to concentrate for long periods of time
The way forward is…
to never stop day-dreaming, as this is the secret to your creativity; but if you persistently notice that your mind wanders away from what you are supposed to be focusing on right now, simply say to yourself: Be here now.
You’re drawn to people born on…
March 21 to April 20
You share a mutual passion for togetherness and rebellion, and this creates a powerful and intense bond.
Luck maker
Finish what you start
Lucky people have discipline and are willing to do things they don’t like doing because they know it will help them reach their goal.
The imaginative and creative powers of people born on January 18 can lead them to extraordinary heights. They have a quick wit that can delight others, and their company and irreverent opinions are always in demand. In fact they often attract other people like a magnet.
Optimistic, trusting and childlike in nature, the only things that can bring down these friendly souls are rules, regulations and authority. Although they have boundless energy and drive, and love interacting with people, they don’t tend to thrive in a team or in a mundane job, unless they are one hundred per cent committed. They place an extremely high value on independence of thought and action; this can lead to reckless behavior and a stubborn refusal to conform. This trait is evident in both childhood and adulthood, and all the normal procedures for dealing with their rebellion don’t tend to work; they will simply withdraw even more as a result. They need to find an environment in which their need for freedom is respected, and once they do find that their gratitude, loyalty and devotion to it will be immense. They also need to make sure that they find ways to express their playful and friendly side, and their original sense of humor, as this will help them keep bitterness at bay.
People born on this day can become bored quickly, losing their concentration and retreating into a world of fantasy or fits of temper if their needs aren’t being met or becoming restless and impatient if they feel too confined by responsibilities. They need to learn to find ways to deal more appropriately with a situation; this kind of emotional maturity tends to emerge in their early thirties, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Asking them to be more realistic simply isn’t an option—the way forward is for them not to deny their fantasies but to find ways to positively integrate their innovative ideas and extraordinary insights into their lives. By so doing they will be able to make not just their own lives—but those of all they touch—truly magical.
On the dark side
Childish, impractical, undisciplined
At your best
Visionary, creative, stimulating
