The forceful personalities and profound convictions of January 29 people frequently evoke extremes of emotion in others, to whom they may be either the subject of deep esteem or dismissive derision. Either way, they consistently refuse to be ignored, a quality for which they are sneakingly admired even by their loudest detractors.
Inherently empathetic to the plight of others, and blessed with quick-witted minds, those born on this day are, invariably drawn to social causes, impelled by their natural sense of justice to fight for those whom they feel have been wronged.
When inspired by their principles, January 29 people make formidably determined campaigners, despite—or perhaps because of—the fact that they usually prefer to achieve their ends through reasoned argument rather than direct confrontation. Such qual- ities indicate that these people are predisposed to be politicians or social campaigners. They may often be found volunteering for charities and causes even if they have jobs in a completely different field.
The downside of their innate sensitivity is that when they provoke negative responses January 29 people may feel deeply hurt by this rejection. This makes it all the more important that they are supported by stable personal relationships so that they are buoyed up by the love and understanding of those who appreciate their qualities. A happy personal life will also put a brake on these people’s martyr and obsessive tenden- cies, and will help to provide them with a sense of perspective.
