Shy pragmatist
Strong willpower and a sharp mind are some of the qualities implied by your date of birth. As a determined Capricorn, you must keep yourself busy working or creatively occupied in order to make the most of your many talents. By developing your heightened intuitive sensitivity, you can come to understand yourself and life at a deeper level and so avoid possible periods of frustration. A winning charm and leadership abilities can help you in your climb to the top.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, makes you mentally keen and alert, with good concentration. With the ability to go straight to the heart of a matter, you are a practical and direct thinker with sound common sense. You may particularly enjoy initiating new projects or problem solving. Preferring precision and accuracy, you will work steadily and with disciplined effort once you have decided on your goal. By taking time out to relax or by assessing whether you have lost your sense of humor, you can judge whether you have gone a little too far and become too serious.
Although you are a pragmatist, your sensitivity, fertile imagination, and inspired thinking mean that you can also be an idealist.

You can also take the lead and inspire others.

January 13 people are highly motivated—even driven—by the desire to effect improvement, be it in the personal, material sense by “bettering” themselves, or by instituting a global, philanthropic scheme to help the lot of humanity. Nor are such ambitions doomed to remain pipe dreams, for these people have sufficient intellectual capability, directness of approach, and energy to see them realized. When faced with an unsatisfactory position, be it in these people’s careers or in society, they will identify a solution and doggedly work toward its implementation, cutting through obstructions and pushing on toward their objective. Whatever it is that inspires them, they will give it their all, but in doing so will inevitably encounter confrontation and resistance, which they will typically handle with perfunctory disdain. Social reform is therefore a natural area of interest for January 13 people, but their imagination and single-mindedness give them the potential to succeed in many arenas.
Although such all-consuming clarity of focus and clear-cut goals are admirable, they may leave little room for human relationships, and those born on this day would do well to remember that, while saving the world is laudable, they may simultaneously neglect those who are close to them, with often far-reaching, destructive consequences. This caveat applies particularly to men, whose partners or children may suffer from a devas- tating loss of self-esteem if they perceive that their personal needs and concerns are being dismissed or are considered of secondary importance. They should take heed of their own need for relaxation and the simpler pleasures of life, and ensure that they do not sacrifice their physical or emotional health to their aspirations.
