Unconventional visionary
Strong will and determination are just some of the characteristics related to your Capricorn birthday. With your sharp intelligence, practicality, and desire for recognition, you do not like to be taken for granted. With natural business sense and the potential for leadership, you are active and productive, and you prefer to be ruling your own affairs. If you are willing to work hard, your birthday shows distinct indications of remarkable success.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, you can be structured and efficient, with good communication skills. You may have a gift for writing or speaking and use this as part of your work. As you usually think big and enjoy power, a strong need for security and material success can motivate you to achieve and accomplish. A tendency to be arrogant, bossy, or self-oriented, however, suggests that you may not always respond well to criticism, and this can affect your relationships with others. By developing your diplomatic skills and by learning to collaborate, you improve your powers of influence.
Quick-witted and talented, you possess good organizational abilities. You may, however, have to guard against tendencies to be too impatient or headstrong. Luckily, this same dogged determination is what helps you overcome difficulties and gives you the strength to perform outstanding achievements.
From the age of two to thirty-one, when your progressed Sun moves through Aquarius, you have a growing desire to be independent as well as a heightened interest in friendship or group awareness. You may need to express your own unique ideas or be experimental. After the age of thirty-two, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, your emotional sensitivity becomes refined and you develop a stronger sense of vision. This may encourage you to seek idealistic or spiritual goals. At the age of sixty-two there is a turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries, emphasizing a desire for new beginnings or active self-assertiveness.

Although your Sun’s degree is not linked to a fixed star; some of your other planets’ degrees certainly will be.

Proud and alert, you value the wisdom learned from practical experience and hard work rather than just theory.

By trusting your intuitive insight and developing your willpower, you can become an authority in your field of experience.
One of the possible hindrances to your achievement is a tendency to be too cynical, cold, or doubting.

Your competitive spirit and enthusiasm, when channeled positively, can inspire you to accumulate wealth and gain knowledge.
Ambitious and competitive, you want to be in a position of power, where you can use your influence. In business, you usually want to take on responsibilities and work hard in order to rise to the executive and managerial level.

Latent in January 19 people is a tendency toward intensity that can all too easily develop into extremism. Although possessed of inquisitive minds, they will pursue whatever most excites their interest— sometimes mystical and somewhat nebulous concepts
—with a single-minded determination that can be obsessive in its attention to detail. Yet if the vision proves short-lived or easily exhausted, such is their desire for intellectual stimulation and knowledge that another subject will soon be found and investigated with equal dedication.This is the day of true originality, of those whose idiosyncrasies may be misunderstood and dismissed by the more conventional, but whose obstinacy will not brook dissuasion from their chosen course. Consequently, people born on this day usually perform their best work in solitary conditions. They frequently receive acclaim in the scientific or artistic fields, and it may well take some time before others appreciate and acknowledge their undoubted talents.
In their personal lives, the restless dynamism of these people will attract baffled admiration, but their natural unconventionality may frighten and alienate those who are not brave or farsighted enough to stand prolonged exposure to them. Indeed, without the grounding support of sympathetic, easy-going friends and relatives, January 19 people may find themselves isolated and, without meaningful personal contact, tend to become prone to depression. They must there- fore strive to balance their lives, to ensure that they not only spread their energies equally between work and relaxation, but that they pay genuine attention to the opinions and emotional requirements of those around them; mutually supportive relationships are crucial.
