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
Those born on January 12 are inevitably drawn toward an all-involving professional life.
Their career or life interest usually exerts its hold on them in their twenties and they are capable of sacrificing a great deal for it, particularly in terms of personal, inward growth.
They may see their lives as dedicated to serving others, but in fact they are drawn to excitement and adventure of all sorts, which may or may not include others, in a personal sense. Once they become obsessed with their calling, they follow^ wherever it leads them.
Because their career holds such a central place in their lives, January 12 people must choose their work carefully and avoid being detoured into experiences hurtful to themselves and others. Maintaining a strict set of ethical principles, consonant with traditional human values, is vitally important in this respect. Both self-sacrificing impulses on the one hand, and egotistical power drives on the other, must be monitored closely lest they get out of control. Many born on this day are very prone to identifying themselves with a cause, often social or political in nature, for which they are willing to give up a large measure of their personal identity. On the other hand, some January 12 people can be completely absorbed in themselves, when it is their own personality or image which is crucial to the success of their professional plans—for instance when selling a product, or in particular promoting their own free-lance services: PR, advertising, acting and skills of this sort.
January 12 people are most often lively, even garrulous. They must be careful that they do not give the impression of being arrogant as well, for this inevitably turns others off. In some situations, they will be more successful with a low-key approach and a heightened sensitivity to the needs of others. However, January 12 people are so often carried away by their own ideas that they do not heed warnings or advice. When involved in a losing proposition, they are liable to hang on until the bitter end, rather than attempting to change direction. Indeed, if their projects should fall through they are liable to take such setbacks very hard.
It seems that the professions (or all-absorbing hobbies) to which January 12 people are drawn are often unusual ones, to say the least. For this reason successful people born on this day can come to be regarded as brilliant and unusual, but also a bit strange. In a way, the customary rewards of a settled life seem denied to them. Yet if they meet the right person, often a more conservative or apparently unremarkable individual (but possessed of calm and moderation), those born on this day may find a lasting kind of happiness.
Power Thought:I can change my feelings by changing what I do,The highest calling, perhaps, is to be true to oneself
Those born on the 12th day of the month are niled by the number 3 (2+1=3). and by the expansive planet Jupiter. Those ruled by the number 3 tend to rise to the highest positions in their particular sphere. They can also be dictatorial, and the more dominant of January 12 personalities should take note of this. Those ruled by the number 3 like to be independent, so January 12 people may feel the urge to relinquish positions of authority for greater freedom. They can also just grow tired of directing others. The jupiterian nature of the number 3 encourages January 12 people to follow their calling with enthusiasm, but the contrary influence of Saturn (Capricorn's ruler) makes them careful, cautious and practical when necessary, particularly in their private lives.
The 12th card of the Major Arcana is The Hanged Man, who dangles by his foot in a head-down position. Though such a position seems helpless. The Hanged Man is nevertheless spiritually powerful and deeply thoughtful. The positive attributes of this card are recognizing limitations and overcoming them, as well as simply being human; negative aspects are spiritual myopia and restrictedness.
☆Luck maker:(Rethink your priorities)If you had one year to live, what would your priorities be?
You’re drawn to people born on November 23 to December 21:You share a passion for both adventure and communication, and this creates an exciting and enjoyable union.
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.
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.
Those born on January 12 are likely to ignore their health (unless it is directly related to their principal activities). Therefore, regular six-month or yearly checkups are advised. Dental problems may surface rather quickly. Homional imbalances as well as postural problems, the extremes of overweight or weight loss, and bothersome skin conditions involving allergies, seborrhea and minor irritations can plague them. Adopting a stable lifestyle and a more regular approach to health matters helps greatly. A balanced diet, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, grains and restriction of animal fat as well as sugar intake can also make a positive contribution. Only moderate physical exercise is recommended, particularly long walks in the open air.
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.
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.
Pay more attention to your personal life and maintain a strong ethical code. Remember to listen to others beware of arrogance or condescension Don'l goofi the deep end professionally.Your work is only one part of your life.
