next time you have a decision to make, check in with your feelings and your intuition before you proceed.
Those born on January 21 are life’s trendsetters. It doesn’t matter what they are doing or what they are saying, people tend to want to follow them and listen to their opinions. They also have tremendous charm and the ability to get along with just about anyone; when all this is combined with their soaring ambition, they have all they need to get to the top.
Freedom of expression is particularly important for people born on this day. They will never find happiness if they are forced to follow the rules or expectations of others, needing to be allowed to follow their own instincts. If they make mistakes it will still be beneficial as they have the ability to learn from their mistakes.
Leadership is something that those born on this day would seem ideally suited to and they often find it thrust upon them, but in the long term they are not natural leaders. This is because they simply aren’t ruthless enough to impose discipline and routine. They are the people with the ideas and the energy to start something new, but it is up to others to see it through to the end.
Alongside their undoubted star quality, people born on this day have a tendency to speak quickly, sometimes spilling out their ideas in a confused way. They also have a tremendous need to be liked, and this can lead to debilitating nervousness and indecision. It is important for them to acknowledge the importance of thinking before they speak and to be less swayed by others’ criticism. Fortunately, a turning point occurs around their thirtieth birthday, sometimes sooner, when their sense of self matures and they begin to rely more on their own instincts.
Their unusual charm and personality enable them to forge ahead in life and to go places very few people are able to go. They don’t like to be tied down but if they can learn that a little staying power sometimes goes a long way, these boldly original people really can break boundaries and set new limits for others to aspire to.

Having said that, they need to careful that they don’t take things to extremes; activities that are both healthy and social, like golf or rambling, are extremely positive for them. If stress threatens their sense of well-being, burning a chamomile-, lavender- or sandalwood-scented candle can help produce a calming effect.
Career Born artists

Learn to handle impatience
When you are impatient, angry or bored, you can’t attract good things into your life.
People born on January 22 have an electrifying energy about them. Their imaginative powers are often so advanced that the world isn’t always ready for them. This can create a sense of frustration, but if they believe in themselves, hold onto their vision and direct their energy constructively, the world will eventually sit up and notice. Their greatest enemy is not respon-sibility or even authority but tedium and bureaucracy.
The restless, explosive energy of people born on this day gives them the ability to be extraordinarily successful in whatever goal they choose but they do need to learn the importance of patience and discipline if they are to find stability and satisfaction in their lives. If people born on this day don’t understand or they can’t see their way ahead they are also likely to lose their temper, with explosive results. They would make their lives considerably easier if they learned to appreciate the opinions of others more, even if they differ from their own. This will fuel their creativity further and encourage others to work cooperatively with them instead of against them. Fortunately, by the age of twenty-nine they typically begin to develop a sense of self-restraint and discipline, and this will mark an important turning point in their life.
Above all, people born on this day have the ability to reach out to the world and to explain or present it with something totally unique. Being an unconventional visionary is their special gift. They don’t just break the rules, they destroy them and make new ones.
Not surprisingly their uncompromising approach to life will earn them a number of critics along the way, but opposition neither surprises nor disturbs them. Honor and being true to themselves are important, and they will always do what they know to be right, regardless of what others think. This is a high-risk approach to life that has its dangers, but they should never be scared to be themselves—others
