      You share a passion for helping others and for social justice, and this creates an enduring bond.

       Luck maker

       Give others the benefit of the doubt

      If you think the best of others they are more likely to fulfill that expectation.

      Those born on January 11 have a natural talent for assessing every situation and measuring everyone they meet. They find little difficulty in discarding what isn’t needed and see to the heart of people and situations, judging them according to their own very high standards. When the formidable powers of perception of people born on this day are combined with their great intelligence, this results in individuals who are outstanding decision makers.

      Underlying this talent for assessment is a strong sense of justice that always strives to be fair. They feel compelled to do the right thing in life and to pass judgment but sometimes they can have problems distinguishing what the right thing or judgment is for them and what the right thing is for others. As a result they can easily convince themselves into thinking that they need to take responsibility for everyone and everything; this is when problems can start, as it can lead to domineering or controlling behavior and the belief that their word really is the law.

      It is important for people born on this day to learn to pronounce their opinions less forcibly so that they do not offend those who do not share their point of view. This won’t always be easy, but alongside their inflexibility there is also a very caring and compassionate nature. If they can tap more into that, they will begin to understand that it is not just their right, but everybody’s right, to have a difference of opinion. Typically around the age of forty, often sooner, their emotional sensitivity becomes stronger and they develop a more powerful inner life.

      Those born on this day place high standards on others but they place even higher standards upon themselves. Because they have the courage and determination to live up to these standards, they often do find themselves in the very position they crave: that of the judgment maker. Others will seek them out for advice, judgment and, when they learn to be a little less inflexible, inspiration.

       On the dark side

      Dominating, stubborn, superior

       At your best

      Balanced, objective, fair

      Love Loyal and devoted

      Once people born on January 11 find a partner who can stimulate their mind or inspire them creatively, they are extremely loyal and devoted. Although relating comes naturally to them, they can at times be reluctant to open up emotionally. There is also a danger that they can take on too much responsibility for the relationship; they need to learn sometimes to stand back, open their heart and let their partner take the lead.

      Health Take care of their own needs

      These people need to be extremely careful that they don’t suffer from compassion overload, by wearing themselves out caring for others or fighting for their rights. They need to learn to let go every now and again and to care for their own needs, both physical and emotional. When it comes to diet, they need to avoid anything restrictive or excessive and enjoy a balanced and varied diet; perhaps with a multi-vitamin and mineral to guard against nutritional deficiencies. They should also make sure they get regular, gentle exercise. Burning candles scented with cypress, clary sage, jasmine, coriander, cloves or sandalwood and wearing, meditating or surrounding themselves with the color silver should help them feel more secure and at peace.

      Career Born helpers

      People born on this day are drawn toward careers where they can help others. Their compassion means that they excel in education, teaching or careers working with children or students, counseling or psychology. They may also be drawn to careers in research in which they can use their sharp, incisive mind, or careers in which they can fight injustice, such as politics, social work, law or even the clergy. They also make fine alternative therapists and astrologers, and their skill in communication suggests a knack for writing, music and the arts.

      Destiny To help others turn dreams into reality

      Once they have learned to develop compassion and sensitivity toward the weaknesses of others, the life path of people born on this day is to fight injustice in the world and right wrongs. By so doing they will discover their destiny, which is to help others turn hopes and dreams into practical reality.

       Rethink your priorities

      If you had one year to live, what would your priorities be?

      People born on January 12 don’t do things by half measures and once they have settled on a goal they pursue it with intense and single-minded dedication. Whatever their calling in life, whether it be raising a family, teaching a class or running for president, it becomes their single purpose in life. They are forever on the look-out for opportunities, ideas and people that can help them achieve their goals. Because work is so important to them and they run the risk of sacrificing their personal identity to it, it is vital that they choose their careers wisely.

      The need to be the center of attention that characterizes people born on this day is more often than not a result of putting their emotional life on hold in pursuit of their goals in life. Sometimes they can be so driven that they lose touch not only with their friends and family but also with themselves. It is extremely important therefore for people born on this day to remember to respect not only their own feelings but also the feelings of others. They need to carve out a personal life separate from work and a spiritual life that gives them regular time out. Typically
