Wise counsellor
The influence of your birthday suggests that you are a practical and hardworking Capricorn with the ability to endure. Security-conscious, you like to build on the basis of long-lasting results, and once you are committed to a person or project, you can be loyal, dutiful, and responsible. A universal quality to your thinking can manifest as a humanitarian interest in others. It would be wise, however, to avoid negative thinking, which is likely to bring on feelings of frustration and impatience and thereby make it difficult to realize your ideals and wishes.
With the supporting influence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, you possess natural creative talents. You may wish to develop these through the arts in order to give expression to your imagination and sensitive emotions, or you may use your talents and charm in your dealings with people. A longing for love and affection points to a need for approval and emphasizes the importance of relationships in your life.
A love of beauty and the good life suggests that you prefer to be surrounded by harmony and luxury, but a dislike of discord may cause you to hide your head in the sand and avoid necessary confrontation. Although at times you will have to face obstacles and disappointment, avoid letting pessimism or materialism get the better of you. Detachment rather than inflexibility is often the key to solving many of your problems. Fortunately, you possess the perseverance and intelligence to win through sheer determination.
From the age of twelve to forty-one, when your progressed Sun moves through Aquarius, you gradually become more independent, although you value friendship. You may be attracted by unusual interests or humanitarian issues, or you may have a strong desire to express your individuality. After the age of forty-two, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, your emotional sensitivity becomes enhanced and you develop a more meaningful inner life. This can be reflected in your visions, dreams, and ideals. In your middle years, after numerous changes, you are likely to find gains through partnership and cooperative relationships. At the age of seventy-two, there is another turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries, emphasizing a need to take the initiative and be brave and direct in your relationships with others. New beginnings are also indicated with this progression.

Deneb imparts leadership abilities and bestows a liberal attitude and a broadminded nature. Optimistic, enterprising, and daring, you are enthusiastic and ambitious, with sound common sense and an ability to act assertively.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, this star bestows success in dealing with the public and an inclination toward business and the legal profession. You probably possess leadership and executive skills, a strong will, and the ability to instruct others. This star imparts an independent and dynamic personality or true individuality, which gives you opportunities for advancement through courage and enthusiasm.
• Positive: enterprising spirit, competitive, ambitious
• Negative: hastiness, impatience, dishonesty, negligence
Your dynamic emotions need positive channels of expression, or you may become caught up in other people’s dramas. A natural ability to help others will enable you to feel more fulfilled and aid you in gaining friends. When feeling self-assured, you are able to project the power of love and magnetize others with your charismatic appeal.
Practical yet imaginative, you like order and have a good sense of vision. You need a plan and a strong sense of purpose, or your restlessness may cause you to overindulge as a form of escapism. With a desire for self-improvement and a strong emphasis on work in your life, you must apply diligence and concentrated effort so as to take advantage of your true potential. You will find, however, that if you work hard, financial protection will always appear when you really need it.
Enterprising and imaginative, you may want to have the freedom to do as you wish and be independent. A need for variety and change suggests that you are likely to combine travel and work. Your desire for activity and progress may lead you to experiment with many occupations. Whatever you do, avoid routine and mundane jobs that do not promise advancement or excitement. Idealistic and creative, with a poetic heart, you may be drawn to the worlds of art and music. If you are interested in business and social reforms, marketing, economics, promotion, and politics are just a few of the careers that you may find interesting. An ability to think quickly and a charming personality suggest that you may want to combine traveling with business and work as a tour operator, travel agent, long-distance commuter, or salesperson.

Blessed with sharp, analytical intellects, keen powers of perception, and great reserves of energy, January 9 people demand high standards from themselves as well as others, and will not easily accept defeat. They are sometimes intensely ambitious, but their desire is fueled more by perfectionism—by the need to see a task done as well as possible—than by a craving for plaudits or adulation. People born on this day are therefore valued employees, for when given charge of any project they will quickly identify the best course of action, and then set about accomplishing it with characteristic focus and drive. Yet January 9 people are not really corporate animals, cherishing freedom of thought, expression and movement over the restrictions that are usually imposed by large organizations, and they generally thrive better when they are self-employed.
Family is extremely important to people born on this day. Deeply committed to providing the best possible opportunities for their children, they will often work long hours to gain the necessary financial means to achieve them, but in doing so they inevita- bly sacrifice time spent together. They may also make enormous demands of their children in terms of aca- demic attainments, albeit with the highest motives. It is therefore important that these people do not push their children too hard, but accept their true selves and limitations, love them for who they are, and support them uncritically. They will also gain personally from a more relaxed approach to family life, which will provide a valuable safety valve to release the pressures built up by their professional commitments.
