Ethical warrior
Friendly, practical, and hardworking, you are an intuitive and imaginative individual with sound common sense.

A logical thinker with a creative flair, you respect people with knowledge and like to be informed. Clever, ambitious, and independent, you have talents that can bring you much success in life, particularly when you avoid negative thinking.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, you are a methodical and careful worker who pays attention to detail. Although you retain a basic shyness or reserve, you have good communication skills and can go straight to the heart of a matter. You have a touch of the perfectionist, so you can make precise and accurate observations, though you may have to avoid being overcautious or serious.
Receptive to new ideas, you are inventive and progressive and have a need to convey your originality. Although you are interested in freedom and reform, at times your dislike of restriction can turn into a stubborn or contrary streak. Preferring to be active, you have a quick intelligence that suggests that you need variety and new experiences to stop you from becoming bored, but it is wise not to let an inner restlessness cause you to move too quickly or impulsively.

Yet, inspired by example, you can be a true visionary and humanitarian, fighting for causes and your ideals.
Interested in everything and everyone, you often try to do too much. Spending periods alone in reflection, contemplation, or meditation is particularly good for developing your inner calm.

Those born on this day incorporate an intriguing mixture of iron wills and self-indulgence— frequently manifested by their tendency to abandon themselves totally to the pleasures of the senses, to the exquisite. Indeed, their instinctive appreciation of art and music, which is reinforced if they were born in the Chinese year of the snake, as well as their charming and magnetic personalities, mask their very real concern with social injustice and their pronounced determination to change the world for the better. Another apparently paradoxical quirk of their personalities is the juxtaposition of their strongly held ethical beliefs and concomitant desire to impose collective improvements on human society, while at the same time operating on a fiercely individualistic basis. Yet these people, who are governed by a very real sense of right and wrong and are skilled at evaluating the cause of any perceived injustice, will take a fierce personal stance on those issues they hold dear, from which they will refuse to be deflected.
Curiously, for people who are driven by their humanitarian convictions, January 14 people often harbor a deep aversion to making commitments in their personal lives. This may stem from a reluctance to divert their energies from their intellectual ambi- tions, but may also result from their fear of making the wrong decision. In order to avoid future isolation and loneliness, they should therefore ensure that they do not apply their own ideal moral standards to poten- tial friends and partners, and should learn to appre- ciate and respect people as they are, compromising accordingly.
