People born on January 31 have an overwhelming need to be noticed, heard and taken seriously. And because more often than not these bright, appealing people achieve this goal with ease, they are admired by others for their creativity, vision, and originality.
Strong will-power, steadfastness and an emphasis on self-expression define people who are born on this day. They may also be quite progressive, with a touch of the genius about them. Although they can appear absent-minded and chaotic at times, this is only because their thoughts are always on fast-forward, their mind being filled with original and ingenious ideas and concepts.
When they feel they have made some kind of breakthrough they run the risk of getting over-excited, but others tend to find this endearing rather than annoying. In fact people born on this day are generally well liked for being so inventive and entertaining in their never-ending quest for knowledge. They are magnetic personalities but harbor a tendency to be occasionally oversensitive, reading hidden meanings into the actions and words of others. When they feel upstaged, put upon or let down they may overreact and either withdraw completely and become depressed, or startle others with their sharp tongue. They need to learn to be a little less intense in their relationships and to accept that sometimes other people want to share the limelight.
Occasionally people born on this day may feel pressured to conform to others’ expectations of them in order to be liked; by so doing they run the risk of losing their unique charm. Fortunately, around the age of twenty there is a turning point which suggests they are able to develop greater self-reliance; at the age of fifty there is another turning point which highlights their fighting spirit and emotional resilience.
Above all, people born on January 31 are bright spirits who have the ability to light up the world with their bubbly personalities and brilliance. Once they learn to truly value themselves they have the potential not only to bring great happiness to the world but also to influence and inspire.
☆ On the dark side:Uncertain, suspicious, groveling
☆ At your best:Appealing, original, strong
Those born on January 31 are individuals who wish to be heard. They also like to be seen and can become deeply unhappy if kept out of the spotlight for too long. Indeed, being appreciated and understood, by even a small close group of friends, is of great importance to their confidence and self-esteem. January 31 people are social, and can become depressed if they are forced to hide themselves away. But, if they have been emotionally hurt or had their self-image damaged, they can go through very difficult times which demand isolation.
Fortunately, they recover fairly quickly, to once again share their bubbling personality with the world.
Because of the more entertaining aspects of their nature, some January 31 people can find that they are taken less than seriously when they are clearly in earnest. Those born on this day often wish to be valued not only for their surface attributes, but also for the meaning of what they have to say. Many have a secret wish to be considered profound, but nonetheless remain for others a lyric song to be dreamed on or a lovely flower that can be openly admired. Some January 31 people may try desperately to change their image—being alternately tough, critical, witty or philosophical—and yet nothing works. They may even go so far as to be insulting, yet others will continue to like them, find excuses for their actions and, yes, fail to see the profound in them.
One reason why January 31 people's surface attributes become a focus of attention is that they are in fact so very appealing. Such attention can be flattering at first, but in extreme cases can even become degrading as some born on this day are treated as appealing objects and nothing more. For many January 31 people, it is not only their looks, bearing or sense of style that attracts others but rather the beauty of their creations, whether they be children, commercial products, carefully honed talents, or creative works. Still, they often get the idea that they are not really being appreciated for themselves, for what they value most inside.
Those January 31 people who do not wholly appreciate such attention will probably find no easy solution to the problem. Perhaps, in frustration, they may drop what they are most successful at doing and try something else just to get a more heartfelt response from those around them. But a better solution is to try not to be so dependent on what others think of them, and to have the courage to consistently (rather than sporadically) project their deeper thoughts and feelings. By making a firm decision not to conform to other people's expectations of them, in an intelligent and thoughtful fashion, they will command the full respect they desire.

Those born on the 31th day of the month are ruled by the number 4 (3+1=4), and by the planet Uranus. Since only 7 months have a 31 st day, it is a bit of an unusual number for a birthday, and people born on these days are often difficult to figure out. Those ailed by the number 4 tend to be difficult, sometimes argumentative. Governed by the planet Uranus, those ruled by the number 4 can be quick and explosive in their change of mood. Uranian qualities are in fact heightened for January 31 people, as Uranus also rules their sun sign, Aquarius.
The 4th card of the Major Arcana is The Emperor, who rules over worldly things through wisdom, the primary source of his power. The Emperor is stable and wise; the force of his authority cannot be questioned. The positive associations of this card are strong willpower and steadfast energy; negative indications include stubbornness, tyranny, even brutality. For January 31 people this tyranny may well be interpreted as that which public opinion and expectations exercise over them.
☆Luck maker:(Take a stand)Lucky people are certain about what they want. It is this certainty (and not the approval of others) that gives them the strength and determination they need to achieve their dreams.

Difficulties with their emotional life, in particular with friends and loved ones, can affect the health of people born on this day and manifest in depression, low self-esteem or insecurity. It is important for them to learn to feel comfortable with and to express their feelings to family and friends; they could benefit from counseling or alternative therapies, such as meditation, that stress the potential of the mind to alter the way they feel both emotionally and physically. They need to make sure they eat a healthy, balanced diet, as they are also prone to eating disorders. They would also benefit from fairly energetic exercise, such as aerobics or jogging, as it will help calm their mind. Meditating, wearing or surrounding themselves in the color blue will help stabilize their mood and bring feelings of calmness.
Those born on January 31 often have troubles in their love lives which affect both their psychological and physical health. The inevitable consequences are some degree of anxiety and depression. January 31 people must beware of calling up hurtful treatment . perhaps due to insecurity, low self-esteem or underlying psychological causes of which they are unaware. Often problems with diet arise which can lead in extreme cases to loss of appetite and anorexia, or for others overeating and a compulsive need for oral gratification. Living in a family situation where diet can be more objectively controlled is important as well as planning delicious but healthy meals that are limited in quantity. A regular, fairly vigorous exercise pattern (aerobits, jogging, competitive sports) is strongly recommended where no serious health impediments exist.
These people work well as philosophers, teachers, consultants, healers, writers, academics, as they have a love of gathering knowledge and are expert at communicating it to others. Once they have learned to master their own insecurities they also make outstanding counselors and instigators of social or humanitarian reform. They may also choose to channel their creativity into the entertainment world or the arts, in particular poetry or song writing.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to rely less on the reaction they get from others and more on their own instincts. Once they have learned to trust themselves, their destiny is to bring great joy to the world with their charm, wit, and insight.
