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
Those born on January 17 are some of the most powerfully direct individuals of the year.
This is in large part because they usually have a very clear goal, a firm idea of what it is that they wish to accomplish at any given time. They are also able to effectively assess their chances for success based on past experience and the difficulties that lie ahead.
Early on in life, January 17 people learn what it is that makes a human being tick. They come to understand the importance of motivation, that needs are what impel people to action and often determine how they will respond to any given situation (needs themselves created by basic human emotions—love. hate. fear, shame, guilt, etc.). Most born on this day also realize early on that it is the person in control of him/herself, who exercises self-discipline, who succeeds in life.
More highly developed January7 17 people are in touch with their own drives and desires and are able to inspire themselves repeatedly to rise to life's challenges. Less highly developed individuals born on this day focus on how they may control their environment without first knowing themselves. They can become masters of manipulation (less a covert manipulation than an outright handling of others).
Whether physically imposing or not. January 17 people have a commanding presence that tends to dominate most occasions. Because, as mentioned, their purpose is generally so welldefined, and they display such remarkable control over themselves (at least outer control), others may feel somewhat intimidated. Those born on this day do not ask permission to be who they are. They tend to throw off those inhibitions which keep the average person from expressing talents and the more dynamic side of their nature. Indeed, January7 17 people are more likely to be concerned with individual achievement and are usually firm supporters of the rights of the individual.
Thus they rarely make the best team players, and usually operate better on their own.
It is not surprising that the greatest danger for January 17 people is in losing touch with the feelings, concerns and philosophy of others. Because those born on this day brook no compromise of their plans, they may cast associates, co-workers, even friends in an antagonistic position relative to themselves. They may also drive less powerful individuals (who feel they cannot compete with a January 17 person in the open) underground to nurse grudges and bide their time. Thus it is crucial that January 17 people firmly ground themselves in a social context while strengthening friendships and family ties. Above all. they must not allow themselves to become isolated or force those around them into static or undesirable roles.
Power Thought：It is my attitude that counts，There is room for many stars in thefirmament
Those born on the 17th day of the month are ruled by the number 8 (l+7"8), and by the planet Saturn. Saturn carries strong feelings of limitation and restriction and also a judgmental aspect. These characteristics are reinforced for January 17 people since Saturn also rules their sign. Capricorn. Therefore. January 17 people must beware of putting undue emphasis on the physical side of life, being overly authoritarian and ambitious. The number 8 holds a conflict between the material and spiritual worlds.
The 17th card of the Major Arcana is The Star, which shows a beautiful naked girl under the stars pouring refreshing water on the parched earth with one pitcher and reviving the stagnant water of a pond with another. She represents the glories of the earthly life, but also material enslavement to it. The stars above her are an eternal reminder of the presence of the spiritual world. January 17 people, then, should beware of excessive physicality and never lose sight of higher goals.

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.
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.
Those born on January 17 must be very careful on the one hand not to indulge their aggressive impulses or on the other hand to repress them. If they can keep their emotions flowing while at the same time being aware of the effects they are having on those around them, their vibrant natures will be appreciated and their mental health will remain stable. The use of all stimulants including caffeine, nicotine, sugar and amphetamines should be carefully controlled. Diets are best kept balanced, with spicy foods eaten sparingly, and a strong emphasis on grains Overeating of meat should be discouraged. Vigorous physical exercise is recommended, as it is an excellent way to work off aggressions. Competitive sports, martial arts, calisthenics and endurance running and swimming are particularly recommended, although damage to the skeletal system must be guarded against. Plenty of sleep, a stable home environment and a loving sexual partner will be helpful to their well-being.
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.
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.
Give others a chance, too. Relinquishing control can free you. Cultivate humility and stay in touch with the times
