Those born on this day are imaginative to the point of feyness, and are fascinated by topics that less free-thinking people might dismiss as being oddball. Indeed, so accustomed are they to being branded eccentric when they moot their wildly original ideas and theories, that to avoid experiencing the hurt of a negative reaction, they frequently keep quiet about what it is that really excites them. This defensive mechanism may be effective in the short term, but such suppression of the true self will ultimately cause emotional damage.
The paradox governing their personalities and behavior is that although January 24 people are gen- erally greatly admired for their original qualities, they are reluctant to believe that the people around them appreciate them just as they are. They may com- pletely reject such esteem, either suspecting under- lying motives or feeling that their essence has been misunderstood.
Their sensitivity, love of nature, and genuine desire to work for good propels many January 24 people into working with animals, with whom they feel a deep empathy and trust that they sometimes feel are lack- ing in their relationships with their human peers. They thrive best in those small-scale, more personal, work- ing environments in which they do not feel inhibited or under pressure to perform artificially. Similarly, they need to be constantly reassured by the love and sup- port of their friends and family if they are to achieve their true potential.
