Dreamy romantic
Ambitious and smart, you are an Aquarian with a fast mind and natural intuition. Charming and attractive, you can project a self-assured image to others. Being generous and friendly, with good social skills, suggests that you are invariably popular. Talented and possessing good judgment, you feel secure in your knowledge and prefer to think independently. With your quick reactions and strong sense of individuality, you are rarely boring, but you may have to watch a tendency to be impatient.
With the added influence of your Sun in the Aquarius decanate, you are an original and broad-minded humanitarian with a rebellious streak. Productively channeled, this could help you become a pioneer of new and progressive ideas and endeavors. As a good psychologist, you possess a shrewd insight into people’s character and motivation that can help you in your climb to the top.
Friendship can be an integral part of your emotional development. Being warm and sociable, you are a good networker, with a gift for making new contacts. Ironically, although you do not like interference from others or having your personal freedom restricted, you may sometimes run the risk of becoming stubborn or bossy yourself. Original and inventive, you have a fast, assertive, and concise mind that loves wit, satire, or quick repartee. If threatened, you can be competitive and have the power to verbally retaliate in just the right manner. Although a good critic, you must be careful not to take this too far and use words as a weapon to be hurtful.
Until you reach the age of twenty-two your progressed Sun is in Aquarius, highlighting issues of personal freedom, friendship, and expressing your individuality. At the age of twenty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, you become more emotionally aware and receptive, with an emphasis on your dreams and natural intuition. At the age of fifty-three there is a turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries. This influence accents greater self-orientation as you start to feel more confident and daring.

Dramatic, sensitive, and creative, you have a strong need for self-expression. Although you are usually optimistic, discontent or indecision about emotional concerns can sometimes prove to be a challenge. Your idealism can be a source of inspiration, however; as you dislike being bored, you are likely to be constantly searching for new and original pursuits to keep your mind engrossed and uplifted. With your innate intuitive or psychic gifts, you may discover a growing recognition of a higher wisdom.
Success-oriented, with an ability to see the large picture, you have big plans and can be very enterprising. Ambitious and courageous, you are naturally lucky, with good business acumen. Be careful, however, of a tendency to think that financial security can provide you with all the answers. This emphasizes the need to adhere to choices that can enhance your sense of values, identity, and self-esteem.
As an astute, charming, and witty individual who is gifted with words, you fare well in any career that involves communication, particularly writing, media, or speaking up for others.

This side of your nature may feel more at home counseling, doing community work, or fighting for a social or political cause. With natural leadership and the ability to think big, you can use your administrative skills in large corporations or succeed in the business world. Alternatively, your need for artistic expression can attract you to the world of art and entertainment, particularly through the media of music and drama.

An inner conflict between wanting to be independent and wanting to be part of a team is also indicated.

Although these people have extremely strong views regarding what is right and what is wrong, and relish the stimulating cut and thrust of intellectual debate, these qualities are motivated more by a sense of justice than by a need to impose their convictions by dominating others. Indeed, while they may not always agree with them, January 28 people are remarkably tolerant in their appreciation of inevitable differences of opinion, respecting what other people have to say but not allowing their integrity to be swayed in the process. These qualities are often best employed in the judicial, diplomatic or political sphere, in which they can objectively seek to advance the humanitarian causes that are dear to them without dismissively rejecting alternative convictions. Their natural charm, capacity for penetrative thought and compelling articulateness will also stand them in good stead in such pursuits. January 28 people are also intuitive, and if they nurture their creative impulses, they can achieve memorable artistic success.
Just as they are frequently motivated by humani- tarian aims in their professional lives, in their personal relationships people born on this day place the hap- piness and well-being of their families above all else. They greatly value the sense of security that they gain from strong, supportive relationships. Highly sensi- tive, they have an instinctive distaste for emotional conflict and will do their utmost to avoid unpleasant confrontation with members of their family, whom they may often infuriate by appearing to duck issues and retreating into their own world.
