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
Fulfillment is the ultimate goal of a January 16 person, whether of a personal, social or even universal nature. Ultimately, it is a feeling of satisfaction or wholeness those born on this day are after, often involving a completion, rounding off and tidy resolution to endeavors. But this is not the whole story. Fulfillment also includes an intangible something which says that they have done their best and that their hopes and wishes have been finally realized. In a sense, this subjective state (which may not last very long before a new goal is set), signals for them that things quite simply have gone well.
Such indications of well-being and acknowledgment are needed regularly by January 16 people, as a kind of ego-reinforcement or security apparatus. Those born on this day are well suited for work where they can clearly accomplish tasks in a given time, rather than occupations with a great deal of uncertainty or flux. As for any habituated person, however, their feelings of satisfaction may diminish over time unless the projects are upped both in their scope and intensity.
This is where the chance of failure can enter the picture. The excitement sharpens, the involvement deepens, but so does the risk of projects falling through, and consequently those born on this day (who may not be well adapted for stress) have to learn to deal with more improbable outcomes, and of course a certain lack of fulfillment which now and then insidiously rears its head. Worse yet, they may perversely come to accept uncertainty as the norm and ultimately deprive themselves of fulfillment altogether.
Successful January 16 people recognize when challenge becomes self-destructive and find a realistic level for their endeavors. They come to know and accept themselves, and live with their limitations. It is crucial that they find their work niveau or niche in society. Indeed, those January 16 people who accomplish a series of varying but not necessarily increasingly intensive objectives are more likely to find lasting happiness. However, a new project beckoning over the horizon or a refusal to quit or retire from their professions are ever-present threats to such stability.
January 16 people can drive themselves and everyone else around them to distraction, unless they are able to accept the regularity of everyday life. This goes very much for their interpersonal relationships as well. Perhaps those born on this day could more often seek fulfillment on a day-to-day, even minute-to-minute basis. Indeed, their personal success may well depend on their ability to focus on present concerns and find greater satisfaction in the matter at hand.
Power Thought：Happiness is available to me now，Stretch only as high as you can. but a stepladder may help you to reach a bit higher than that
Those born on the 16th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 < 1+6="). and by the watery planet Neptune. Those ruled by the number 7 often fail to follow through on their ideas and can get out of touch with reality easily, particularly true for January 16 people if they overstep their limits. Neptune is the planet of dreams, fantasies and religious feeling, which coupled with the saturnian influence of their sign (Capricorn) grants those born on this day material luck, if they can keep themselves under control.
The 16th card of the Major Arcana is The Tower, which in one version of the Tarot shows both a king falling from a lightning-struck tower and the builder of this tower being killed by a blow to the head. The Tower symbolizes the impermanence of not only physical structures but also of relationships or vocations in our lives. The positive elements of the card include overcoming catastrophe and confronting challenges; however, the Tower cautions against rising unjustifiably high, risking destruction at the hands of one's own invention and succumbing to the lure of fanciful enterprises.
