January 31 people have an all-consuming need to be taken seriously, to gain the regard of their peers for those qualities that they value most in themselves: their originality, compassion, sensitivity and vision. And indeed these people are admired by others yet, despite their best efforts, it may be for entirely different, and perhaps more superficial, reasons—such as for their personal charm, physical appearance or the entertainment that they give others.
Perhaps these people have a tendency to send mixed messages in their attempts to gain the undi- vided attention of others, but it is frequently the case that they undervalue the particular talents that attract others to them. They have a tendency often to place greater worth on their more profound characteristics. Their extreme sensitivity, fascination with mystical concepts and innate appreciation of beauty will often find fulfilling expression in the artistic world, but their considerable intellectual powers will also bring them success if they’re willing to work for ir.
To console and reinforce them in the throes of their personal struggles to be accepted on their own terms, it is vital that January 31 people receive fre- quent demonstrations of the unconditional support of those closest to them, whose encouragement they will reward many times over. Yet, as in all other areas of their lives, people born on this day must beware of making unreasonable demands on the good will of others. Developing a more relaxed, pragmatic and less intense approach will benefit them in all areas of their lives.
