Find out what you want, and why you want it
Lucky people are convinced and committed about what they want and why they want it. It is this certainty that gives them the strength and determination they need to achieve their dreams.
Those born on January 19 are honest and direct people with a great sense of the beauty in life. They have the ability to look at the world as if through the eyes of a child, seeing everything in a joyous light. Above all they are people of energy and wonder. This is the birthday of true originality.
The originality that defines people born on this day goes hand in hand with a personality that is independent and free-spirited. They really don’t care too much what people think and can from time to time indulge in flamboyant or outrageous behavior. Even if they appear respectable on the outside, anyone who gets to know them will soon appreciate what a truly unique individual they are.
January 19 people often surprise others with their reactions because they are able to sense what others miss. Occasionally they will fight against their intuitive side but it is important for them to find ways to balance and incorporate it into their lives. Typically around the age of thirty-two, frequently sooner, there is an emphasis toward their inner life. They learn the importance of working with, not against, their intuition.
These people are destined to shine brightly and to attract others to them like magnets; those born on this day who try to fit in or repress their creativity and originality are on the road to unhappiness. It may take a while before others understand their undoubted gifts but the power of these people is so great that they have the ability to win almost anyone over to their side. The only danger is that the dynamism and unconventionality of these people can lead to attention-seeking and sometimes immature behavior in an attempt to impress. They may also find it hard to lead to stable lives constantly changing focus and unable to balance their imaginative powers with normal working life.
Blessed with natural drive, curiosity and originality of thought, when they have finally learned to be true to themselves and others, not only can they lead and inspire others, there is the potential for real greatness.

They need someone who enjoys their ardor but can also give them the occasional reality check.
Health Pace yourself
January 19 people don’t just use a lot of energy, they burn it, so it is important for them to learn to conserve energy to pace themselves, otherwise they are in danger of collapse from extreme fatigue. A balanced diet and regular exercise will help give them a foundation and a structure. Sports should be energetic but not too competitive, and as far as diet goes they need to cut down on alcohol and sugar. Meditation and other mind-body exercises from yoga and tai chi that encourage balance and harmony will be particularly beneficial. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with shades of light brown or orange will help balance their energy so they feel alert without feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
Career Born movers and shakers
These people tend to do better in solitary professions, but they can also work well in a group as long as they are allowed to use their imagination.

Destiny To make an impact on the world

Luck maker
Believe that you deserve the best
If you do not believe you deserve the best, you will not allow good things that you deserve into your life.

They are liberal, sensitive and charming individuals with a remarkable skill for cooperation and improvisation. They are constantly learning, adapting and perfecting their skills, and these qualities helps them climb the ladder of success, sometimes to the very top.
Others may sometimes mistake people born on this day as dreamy, disorganized and scatter-brained. Although they give the appearance of confusion, every detail is stored in their methodical and analytical mind and they simply have an original way of approaching life. They are capable of remarkable endurance, their flexible style ensuring that they overcome the toughest of setbacks with their sense of humor intact.
People born on this day have a genuine compassion and love for people, and will go to extraordinary lengths to help them. They are typically supportive of the underdog but when they are thrown into the role of leader they can come across as dictatorial. It is important for them to carefully consider their approach to leadership, given that their attitude toward the authority of others tends to be light-hearted rather than respectful.
Although they appear tough, the respect of others is extremely important, sometimes too important to them. They need to learn to trust their own judgments more as they are usually right. Fortunately, around the age of thirty there is often a turning point which heightens their sense of self-worth and emphasizes the need for working with their gut instinct.
The considerable personal charm and flexibility that characterizes people born on this day suggests that they have the potential to become wellrounded personalities. Once they can build a sense of self-worth and find a direction and sense of balance, people born on January 20 can display surprisingly intense powers of concentration and commitment that not only assure success but also win them the lasting admiration and respect of others.

Agreeable, intuitive, focused
Love Charming and intense

Health Heed the warning signs
People born on this day may go through periods of recurring poor health. On the whole their optimistic, flexible approach always helps them through but if they can learn to pay attention to warning signs they can ensure that they don’t succumb to poor health in the first place. Regular health checks are important, as is an immune-boosting diet rich in fiber, whole grains and vegetables, and a regular exercise routine. They may also find that alternative therapies such as aromatherapy, hypnotherapy and homeopathy offer them a sense of well-being and calm. Wearing amethyst jewelry or placing an amethyst crystal under their pillow will also help calm their emotions and reduce stress.
Career Born healers
Any career that involves dealing with the public will attract these people, as they genuinely care for the well-being of others. They can also achieve much in medical and scientific fields, and their ability to communicate well means that they make great teachers, counselors and advisors and entrepreneurs.

Connect with your feelings
The next time you have a decision to make, check in with your feelings and your intuition before you proceed.
Those born on January 21 are life’s trendsetters. It doesn’t matter what they are doing or what they are saying, people tend to want to follow them and listen to their opinions. They also have tremendous charm and the ability to get along with just about anyone; when all this is combined with their soaring ambition, they have all they need to get to the top.
Freedom of expression is particularly important for people born on this day. They will never find happiness if they are forced to follow the rules or expectations of others, needing to be allowed to follow their own instincts. If they make mistakes it will still be beneficial as they have the ability to learn from their mistakes.
Leadership is something that those born on this day would seem ideally suited to and they often find it thrust upon them, but in the long term they are not natural leaders. This is because they simply aren’t ruthless enough to impose discipline and routine. They are the people with the ideas and the energy to start something new, but it is up to others to see it through to the end.
Alongside their undoubted star quality, people born on this day have a tendency to speak quickly, sometimes spilling out their ideas in a confused way. They also have a tremendous need to be liked, and this can lead to debilitating nervousness and indecision. It is important for them to acknowledge the importance of thinking before they speak and to be less swayed by others’ criticism. Fortunately, a turning point occurs around their thirtieth birthday, sometimes sooner, when their sense of self matures and they begin to rely more on their own instincts.
Their unusual charm and personality enable them to forge ahead in life and to go places very few people are able to go. They don’t like to be tied down but if they can learn that a little staying power sometimes goes a long way, these boldly original people really can break boundaries and set new limits for others to aspire to.

At your best
Inventive, optimistic, likable

Health Play a round of golf
People born on this day like to experiment with diets and exercise regimes, and could even create a lifestyle plan of their own to pass on to others. Because of their open-minded and knowledgeable approach to health they tend to understand the connection between diet, lifestyle and good health, and so are likely to take care of themselves. Having said that, they need to careful that they don’t take things to extremes; activities that are both healthy and social, like golf or rambling, are extremely positive for them. If stress threatens their sense of well-being, burning a chamomile-, lavender- or sandalwood-scented candle can help produce a calming effect.
Career Born artists
The combination of innovation and sensitivity that marks these people gives them great potential to succeed in the arts, in particular novel writing. Their charming personality also gives them the ability to generate ideas; they will excel in any career which values this skill, such as academia, technology, sales or business.

Learn to handle impatience
When you are impatient, angry or bored, you can’t attract good things into your life.
People born on January 22 have an electrifying energy about them. Their imaginative powers are often so advanced that the world isn’t always ready for them. This can create a sense of frustration, but if they believe in themselves, hold onto their vision and direct their energy constructively, the world will eventually sit up and notice. Their greatest enemy is not respon-sibility or even authority but tedium and bureaucracy.
The restless, explosive energy of people born on this day gives them the ability to be extraordinarily successful in whatever goal they choose but they do need to learn the importance of patience and discipline if they are to find stability and satisfaction in their lives. If people born on this day don’t understand or they can’t see their way ahead they are also likely to lose their temper, with explosive results. They would make their lives considerably easier if they learned to appreciate the opinions of others more, even if they differ from their own. This will fuel their creativity further and encourage others to work cooperatively with them instead of against them. Fortunately, by the age of twenty-nine they typically begin to develop a sense of self-restraint and discipline, and this will mark an important turning point in their life.
Above all, people born on this day have the ability to reach out to the world and to explain or present it with something totally unique. Being an unconventional visionary is their special gift. They don’t just break the rules, they destroy them and make new ones.
Not surprisingly their uncompromising approach to life will earn them a number of critics along the way, but opposition neither surprises nor disturbs them. Honor and being true to themselves are important, and they will always do what they know to be right, regardless of what others think. This is a high-risk approach to life that has its dangers, but they should never be scared to be themselves—others will respect, admire and ultimately benefit from them for it.
On the dark side
Headstrong, hasty, explosive
At your best
Passionate, imaginative, ground-breaking
