Crucial to January 21 people is their profound thirst both for unfettered freedom of expression and for an emotional haven to which they can retreat for the privacy that is so essential to them. These people will never find fulfillment if they are forced to submit unquestioningly to the rules of others, for their urge to explore and follow their natural inclinations is as vital to them as the air that is their element. Indeed, in order to understand what exactly it is that makes these libertarian people tick, one must appreciate their need to be allowed to act upon their instincts. The important thing is that even if they end up following the wrong course, the decision to do so was their own and, indeed, they will be quick to learn from their experiences. These twin qualities of sensitivity and waywardness, as well as a marked sensuality, bestow upon people born on this day the especial potential to succeed in the world of the arts.
Inevitably somewhat unpredictable, their idio- syncratic behavior may ultimately exasperate those around them who prefer a more logical approach. Any attempt to place impositions upon January 21 people is, however, doomed to disaster; they must be accepted as they are. Related to their individuality is their occa- sional craving for solitude, the time for reflection and to be themselves, and this too should be respected. Yet while people born on this day are stubbornly resistant to coercion, their inherent respect for personal liberty means that they will never consciously attempt to dominate others, despite their talent for persuasion. Since they are consumed by a strong desire for the happiness of other people, their ideals will often lead them into humanitarian activities and pursuits.
