Enthusiastic reformer
Your Capricorn birthday points to a personality that is strong, dedicated, and ambitious, yet subtle, unassuming, and refined. Although determined, competitive, and hardworking, you also possess imagination, sensitivity, and charismatic charm. With all your practicality and worldly sense, it is important that you not lose sight of the intuitive insight or sense of vision implied by your birthday.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, your flair for music, the arts, and dealing with money can often bring you success and fulfillment. When interacting with others, you profit from your excellent people skills and talents. With an appreciation of beauty, glamour, and the good life, you prefer to be in harmonious or even luxurious environments. Although you possess the ability to enchant others, they may not see that behind your bold facade you may occasionally suffer from inner confusion or doubt.
While you suffer from a touch of inertia as far as your grand dreams and ideals are concerned, the thought of material success usually moves you into action. Strong-willed and bright, you have the ability to assimilate knowledge quickly if you are interested. Your enthusiasm for projects you love can be most impressive. This can help you overcome a sensitive nervousness or discontent that could attract you to destructive pastimes such as drugs or drink. However, your strong sense of style, coupled with a flair for the dramatic, ensures that you can stand out in a crowd.
In your youth a powerful woman may make an impact on you. From the age of thirteen to forty-two, when your progressed Sun moves through Aquarius, you tend to be less traditional or cautious, more freedom-loving, and group-oriented. You may develop unconventional interests or have a strong desire to express your individuality. After the age of forty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, your emotional sensitivity and intuition increase. You may place more importance on your dreams, ideals, or spiritual or psychic awareness. At the age of seventy-three, there is another turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries. This accents a need to take direct action on issues that affect you, rather than being too passive.

Exceptionally single-minded and highly motivated, those born on this day possess the potential to achieve outstanding success in whatever field they choose, be it in the creative arts, where their artistic imaginations can be given full rein; in scientific pursuits, where they can best employ their considerable aptitude for analysis; or in philanthropic work, where their empathetic instincts can be satisfied. These qualities are seen in the achievements of Stephen Hawking for his exceptional, visionary contribution to science and were manifested in the outstanding artistry of Elvis Presley and David Bowie. January 8 people often harbor burning personal ambition but, being pragmatic and somewhat saturnine personalities, realize that the recognition they desire will have to be assiduously worked for. Yet although they possess the necessary radical vision, determination and drive to realize their dreams, they may find that their achievements are somewhat empty if they have sacrificed their personal relationships in pursuit of their cherished goals.
The irony is that while these people may appear almost intimidatingly poised and self-possessed, underneath lies a very real sense of anxiety and inse- curity which is masked by an outward façade of cool reserve. Perhaps January 8 people believe that it is only by spectacular success that they will gain the affection of others, but this is far from the case, and they run the risk of loneliness and disillusionment if they persist in this conviction. They should therefore ensure that they actively seek out and nurture honest and relaxed relationships with others, for it is ultimately from such loving and supportive bonds that they will find the key to personal happiness and fulfillment.
