Your Capricorn birthday shows you to be a charismatic, loyal, and hardworking individual who, with a worthwhile goal or sense of purpose, can be extremely dedicated. Practical and down to earth, when faced with setbacks you develop tremendous endurance to carry on and are capable of great sacrifice. This birthday bestows extraordinary potential but also suggests the influence of extremes; very universal and detached, or depressed and overserious.
The supporting influence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, gives you charm and creative abilities. Your prominent social skills ensure an ease at interrelating with those around you. Enjoying the good things of life, you prefer to be in harmonious or even luxurious surroundings. Unconventional and aware of image, you like to be well groomed and often have an original way of dressing.
Possessing good organizational skills, you work better when you think positively and have a plan of action. You benefit from investing effort in projects that are long-lasting, and should avoid dubious get-rich-quick schemes. You have a strong inclination for adventure and travel and may even settle away from your native home.
After the age of sixteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius, you become less traditional and more independent, with a growing desire to express your individuality. Friendship, group affairs, or humanitarian issues may start to play a stronger role in your life. Another turning point occurs at the age of forty-six, when your progressed Sun enters Pisces. From this time, there is an increased emphasis on your enhanced sensitivity and feelings. At the highest level you will be seeking a mystical or spiritual connection, but on a mundane level this may result in confusion or daydreaming. You will become more receptive and imaginative and may experience an urge to develop or appreciate creative gifts.

Individuals born on this day are natural adventurers, with a fascination for the unknown. Yet they are not flighty types: mixed in with this independent streak is a strong tendency toward employing practical methods and finding pragmatic solutions to any obstacles that they may encounter on their journeys of discovery.Thus, while they believe in following their highly developed instincts, they will pursue their ideological aims with logical thoroughness and rigorous self-discipline. Their tendency toward optimism furthermore gives them an impressive capacity to withstand or dismiss any setbacks. Such personal characteristics signal the potential for great success in whichever career they choose, but since they often manifest outstanding artistic talents, January 5 people will especially excel in the creative or performing arts, as well as in the political or scientific spheres.
In common with many who rely strongly upon their intuition when it comes to decision-making and ques- tions of judgement, January 5 people are unusually sen- sitive in tuning in to those around them. Empathetic and understanding, they are valued as friends, but are nevertheless not prepared to give of themselves limit- lessly, and may grow impatient if those who seek their support and advice are reluctant to accept the benefit of their wisdom. Having arrived at a carefully considered set of convictions, and having developed a correspond- ing modus operandi, there is an inevitable tendency for those born on this day to stick rigidly to these prefer- ences and close their minds to alternative approaches. Their self-belief is more often than not justified, but they should remember that there is much to be gained from personal interaction and constant re-evaluation.
