Quick-witted charmer
Your birthday shows you to be friendly and hardworking, a practical Capricorn with compelling personal charm. Although you are independent, your natural diplomatic skills suggest that you can work well in cooperative or teamwork situations. Down to earth in your approach, you can also be highly imaginative, with a strong sense of vision.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, indicates that you are responsible, with clear goals and keen perceptions. Being methodical, you take pride in your work; once decided on a course of action, you have the power to attain your objective, regardless of the time involved. This birthday suggests that your work has an especially strong emphasis for you. You may, however, have to avoid a tendency to become so absorbed in your interests that you neglect your immediate surroundings.
With both practical business sense and sensitive emotions, you will find that it is important to develop a sense of balance in your life. This helps you avoid unknown fears or hidden tensions that may lead you to escapism or instability. Although you possess a strong understanding of the material world, an inclination toward humanitarian or mystical subjects may draw you to spiritual or metaphysical studies. The combination of your sensitivity, inventive mind, and quick insight can also give you a shrewd understanding of human nature. Preferring to keep active, you may be of service to your community as an advisor or specialist.
From the age of nine to thirty-eight, when your progressed Sun moves through Aquarius, you become less influenced by traditional views and more independent. You learn to trust your own individual perspective. You may develop an interest in groups or humanitarian issues and have a strong need for friendship.

From this time, there is more of an emphasis on your emotional inner life, reflected through your visions, dreams, and emotional ideals. This may encourage you to seek idealistic or spiritual goals. At the age of sixty-nine, there is another turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries, accenting a desire for an active and direct approach to the people and situations in your life.

Challenging, entertaining, sharp and self-assured, these people tread a fine line between introversion and extroversion. While their incisive intelligence and tendency toward nit-picking criticism may signal an unusual level of self-reliance, they also enjoy the attention that their outspokenness brings them, and frequently relish playing to the crowd. January 12 people do not do things by half-measures, and once they find a topic that intrigues them, they pursue their interests with near-obsessive intensity. They are unafraid of promoting their opinions, and, indeed, welcome a challenging argument in which they will attempt to their utmost to convince others of the veracity of their point of view. Somewhat maverick in their approach, these people flourish best either in those organizations that allow them complete freedom of thought and action, or when working on their own account. They will find the greatest satisfaction engaged in any business activity—such as sales and marketing—within which they can perhaps bend the rules to promote their own beliefs and aims.
In their personal lives, January 12 people often manifest the need to be at the center of attention, and absolutely hate being ignored. They will frequently manufacture confrontational scenarios for the sheer enjoyment of provoking a reaction, and enjoy nothing more than playing devil’s advocate. This occasionally pugnacious approach carries its risks, however, and these people should ensure that they do not get car- ried away with themselves and thus hurt the feelings of those who are less emotionally robust—particularly their family members, whom they may inadvertently discourage by their cynicism.
