Careful individualist
The influence of your birthday shows you to be ambitious and persistent, a serious and hardworking Capricorn. As a practical and down-to-earth individual with sharp mental abilities, you show an excellent capacity for learning. Education is particularly helpful for bringing out the best of your potential. One of your major lessons, however, is mastering a positive attitude toward money and relationships.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, there is a strong need for love and affection and harmonious working relationships. A lover of beauty and the arts, you can be creative but like to put your talents to a useful purpose. You have an innate understanding of the value of things and are practical enough to get the best out of situations. Due to your love of quality and luxury, however, you may not stop to consider whether you are spending more than you can afford.
Your original ideas and ability to be a shrewd judge of human nature suggest that you have excellent opportunities for success. Your date of birth does imply, however, a need for a certain amount of hard work and self-discipline in order to achieve your goals. Fortunately, you are born with the endurance to accomplish your ambitions, as long as you avoid tension in your relationships. One of your major challenges is to acknowledge and believe in your abilities. If you cannot manage this, you will find that you are taking positions well beneath your capabilities.
Before the age of eighteen you are likely to have a strong need for practical order and structure in your life. After the age of nineteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius, you desire more independence and freedom, with friendship becoming more important in your life. You may have an interest in more unusual subjects or want to express your own unique ideas. Another turning point occurs at the age of forty-nine, when your progressed Sun enters Pisces. From this time there is more of an emphasis on developing your sensitivity and a strong inner life. This can be reflected through your visions, dreams, and emotional ideals.

An innate ability to turn anything into a business must not be confused with the success that comes from doing something you believe is of real value. Although you possess an excellent capacity for earning wealth, pursuing activities for mere financial gain is liable to leave you outwardly successful but not always inwardly content. It is therefore important to learn to translate your money skills into worthy projects that in turn leave you feeling happier.
Being determined, you always aim for the top. You enjoy power and find strength in dedicating yourself to a specific goal or purpose. Without this control, you may become insecure and stubborn or you may even experience extremes of mood, from passion to indifference. Nevertheless, being sensitive provides the protection of intuitive insight that in turn can help solve many of life’s dilemmas for yourself or others.

January 2 people are closely attuned to their senses, drinking in the finer details of their surroundings that are invisible to less observant people. This sensitivity to their environment makes them outstanding artists. This quality of perception also applies to their interpersonal relationships, with the result that January 2 people are blessed with an almost uncanny ability to tune in to the nature or moods of others. Strongly committed to their personal ambitions and goals, they also have a critical streak which, when imposed on their work, often produces wonderful results. Less positively, there is a danger that they will demand the impossible of themselves, or that they will set such stringent parameters on their personal relationships that they will be left isolated.
These people are extremely motivated and diligent, requiring the most of themselves and others, qualities which make them valuable employees and exacting bosses. Having intuitively absorbed information, they will then determine their goal and work single-mind- edly toward its achievement. Curiously, although they are driven by their desire for perfection, January 2 peo- ple often manifest a marked reluctance to have their high ideals disappointed. They are sometimes averse to making irrevocable decisions, preferring to hedge their bets rather than make a commitment about whose outcome they are uncertain. This indecision can be particularly pronounced in January 2 men with regard to their personal relationships. If they throw their natural caution to the wind, however, and apply their undoubted qualities of intuition and self-disci- pline to the relationship or task as it develops, they will often be successful.
