Love Effortlessly attract admirers

With their quick wit and encyclopedic knowledge, January 4 people naturally attract friends and admirers. Their changeable nature can sometimes make it hard for loved ones to keep up or know where they are coming from, and—until they find someone who is equally vibrant and experimental—their relationships can be a bit hit and miss. Their directness can be off-putting but underneath there lies a sensitive and caring person.

Health The mind-body link

The need of those born on this day for experimentation means that getting into a healthy lifestyle routine is not always easy to achieve. Over-reliance on caffeine and/or mood-changing drugs to feed their over-active mind is also a danger. It is extremely important for them to understand that a healthy body equals a healthy mind and for their minds to work at an optimum level they need to take care of themselves by eating sensibly, getting enough sleep and taking regular exercise. Meditation will be particularly beneficial. Ginger essential oils are known to clear the head and improve memory, so if they have a load of work or study in front of them, a ginger-scented aromatic candle is a good choice.

Career Born motivators

It is vital for these people to choose a career that gives them plenty of variety, such as those within the media or travel industries. Their love of knowledge and great communication skills suggests that they can also make great motivators and teachers, as well as scientists, lawyers, researchers, writers, statesmen or stateswomen, journalists and inventors. Whatever career they choose, their ability to inform and inspire others has the potential to bring them great success and respect from their colleagues.

Destiny To inform and inspire others

The life path of people born on this day is to gather knowledge and to put all that knowledge to positive use. They can do this by showing the world ways to reconcile the practical with the idealistic. Through their help and creativity, visions of a better world can be realized. Their destiny is to inform and inspire.

Luck maker

Set the right level of positivity

For enthusiasm to be effective, sometimes it has to be low key; people need to feel motivated by you, not cornered or smothered.

Those born on January 5 have a great deal of emotional resilience, possessing the ability to recover quickly from setbacks and difficult situations. They can do this because, unlike other less resilient souls, they have the remarkable ability to leave the past where it belongs—in the past. They also have an understanding that loss and disappointment are part of life’s journey, and this understanding means they are often wise beyond their years.

Their leadership qualities are strong and they are capable of great dedication and personal sacrifice. They are the resourceful, centered person to whom people turn in a crisis and they thrive on this kind of dynamic. The only danger is that January 5 people can get easily bored when there is no crisis.

Although people born on this day can bounce back from disaster, this doesn’t mean to say they are thick skinned. They can appear emotionally aloof at times but more often than not this hides a deeply sensitive and empathetic nature that is simply afraid to reveal or give of itself unconditionally. If they do open up it is only to the most trusted and valued of friends and loved ones.

Their resilient approach to life wins people born on this day many admirers, but taken to extremes it can also make them unrealistically optimistic. They need to avoid becoming so upbeat in their approach that they ignore the motives and minimize the concerns of people around them.

Although they should keep their options open and stay flexible, people born on this day are at their best when they have a plan of action. They have a tendency to avoid responsibility and commitment in their teens and twenties, but until they choose a path, they will never feel truly fulfilled. By their early forties, often somewhat sooner, they have usually learned to rein in their curiosity and their love of adventure and travel, choosing a path or a purpose that allows them to concentrate on and express their extraordinary potential for bringing out the best in other people.

On the dark side

Over-confident, superficial, unreliable

Powerful, expressive, spiritual

Love Head first

People born on January 5 are attracted by intelligence and they find verbal banter extremely seductive. Understanding and communication in a relationship are of crucial importance to them. If they feel they can’t be completely open or understood they are unlikely to commit to a relationship. This isn’t to say, however, that they don’t appreciate the physical side of relationships as they have a healthy sexual appetite; it is simply that for them love, like sex, starts in the head.

Health Athletes should take good care of themselves.

Because of their emotional resilience, people born on this day recover well from injuries, illnesses and accidents. They should not, however, take their physical and emotional strength for granted; like everyone else, they need to make sure they eat well and get plenty of exercise. They need to pay particular attention to their health in midlife and beyond, when they are most likely to run the risk of neglecting their personal needs for a relationship, work or cause. To help themselves stay vibrant, and full of life, burning grapefruit, lemon-, orange- and rose-scented candles may well do the trick.

Career Born mediators

These people need to work in a harmonious environment and they thrive in positions in which they can be a mediator or communicator or where they are needed to put a positive spin on things. Advertising, politics and law could appeal but they may also find great satisfaction in careers that involve service or sharing feelings and experiences with others such as teaching, medicine, entertainment, counseling and psychology.

Destiny To be the rock when others are floundering

Once they have learned balance and the ability to listen sensitively to others, the life path of those born on this day is to inspire and motivate others with their resilient approach to life. Their destiny is to be the person to whom people turn in a crisis, the rock when others are floundering.

Listen first, talk second

Everyone wants to be understood and the key to understanding is to listen. To get people on your side, listen to other points of view before giving your own.

People born on January 6 are forever looking beneath the surface for meaning and significance in events. They always try to see the spark of goodness in others but this spiritual, philosophical approach to life can mean that other people often dismiss them as childlike or naïive, in the process underestimating their tremendous energy and intelligence.

Although philosophical in their thinking, January 6 people are extremely ambitious and goal orientated, tending eventually to get what they want in life. Willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to their goals, those born on this day can overcome their natural shyness, introspection and gentleness when they are called to defend their convictions and their ideals. However, because they trust their instincts so much and believe that everything that happens to them has significance, there is a danger of them always rejecting alternative viewpoints and being labeled unrealistic, unreasonable and stubborn at times. The tendency to expect others to think like them can prove too challenging for those who are not as philosophically minded.

Despite their stubborn streak and outspokenness, January 6 people also have a tender side to them that can be easily hurt when their input isn’t valued or people don’t take them seriously. They may deal with their hurt by rebelling against authority or indulging in irresponsible behavior, but later in life, around the age of forty-five, they learn that, although cathartic, constant rebellion can never be the whole answer. It is important for them to find a place to express their wild side, but sport or work or study is often their savior because it provides the boundaries and calls upon the discipline they need to help them handle their emotions and channel their energies.

At the end of the day, even when criticized or rejected, the idealism and honesty of people born on January 6 never fails to shine through. Once they find what they should devote their life to, their determination and ability to impart their ideals in an inspirational way will attract both admirers and considerable success their way.

On the dark side

Naïve, unrealistic, unrenasonable

At your best

Idealistic, philosophical, understanding

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.
