To their enthusiasts, their deep convictions, original thinking, manifest integrity and natural sense of style make those born on this day inspirational figures. Yet January 23 people are unintentional and reluctant role models, and often feel uneasy at being regarded as such. While they might well occasionally seek to influence others, they are motivated by the wish to achieve impersonal ideals, and not by the desire to become the subjects of admiration. Yet it is precisely this refreshing disregard for human vanity that, along with their individualistic approach, other people find so magnetic. The intellectual qualities of people born on this day (curiosity, objectivity, inventiveness and a dash of adventurousness) signal a distinct aptitude for science, as well as for those artistic spheres in which they can combine their natural sensitivity with their independent approach. Naturally open to outside influences, and enthusiastic travelers, these people will drink in new experiences and then reinterpret them in their inimitably unique fashion.
Because January 23 people are easily absorbed by intellectual pursuits and are highly self-reliant (espe- cially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the tiger), their friends and relatives may feel some- what excluded. Although they are usually considerate and generous partners who tend to think the best of others (and thus also make extremely good parents), there are times when their fascination with ideas will cause them to withdraw into their own world and to neglect those close to them. They benefit by remem- bering that, in their desire to advance the greater good of humanity, they must not sacrifice the individual.
