Character of People Born in January
Character of People Born in January
The Zodiacal Sign of Capricorn’ commences on December 21st, but for seven days, being overlapped by the “cusp” of the previous sign, it does not come into its full power until on or about December 28th. From this out it is in the full strength until January 20th. And is then for seven days gradually losing its strength on account of becoming overlapped by the ”cusp” of the incoming sign — Aquarius.
Persons born between January 20th and the 27th partake of the characteristics of both Capricorn and Aquarius, and the same rule applies to all persons born within the “cusp” of any sign.
People born in this period have strong mental force, but they are, as a rule, generally misunderstood by others.
They are thinkers, reasonless, and make natural heads of business organizations or any form of government work.
They are independent and high-minded in all their actions, and detest being under the restraint of others.
They must be leaders in whatever they are engaged, or else they are inclined to lose their interest in their work.
They have strange ideas of love, duty, and social posit ion, and for this reason they are often considered “odd”, and do not fit in easily with their neighbors.
Even when not religious they have a deep devotional nature, and make great efforts to do good to others, but generally to masses of people rather than to individuals.
They often make excellent speakers, but not so much through oratory as by plain speaking; often too much so for their own good.
They generally make their greatest mistake by espousing the unpopular cause, the “under dog” in the fight, and so often make the bitterest enemies by their actions being misunderstood.
Such people generally feel their responsibilities too keenly, end often worry them into bad health.
They are quick in their intuitions of people and things, but they are, as a .rule, too easily discouraged, and lack self-confidence.
Although they appear cold, they have warm hearts towards suffering, and as a rule they give largely to charities, but subscribe more generously when giving to institutions than when giving to individuals.
If inclined to be religious they usually go to extremes, and become fanatical in their zeal.
They worship intellectual, clever people, and are deep thinkers; they rarely interfere with the affairs of others, but they will never stand interference from others.
They should aim for some form of public life, and in such careers they generally do best, such as in the government and in responsible positions of control and management of others. They are inclined to excite bitter opposition but bear up against it with a philosophic spirit. Their home and family life is very often a troubled one. They feel “lonely-hearted” and misunderstood.
