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 will respect, admire and ultimately benefit from them for it.
On the dark side
Headstrong, hasty, explosive

Passionate, imaginative, ground-breaking
Love
People born on January 22 are never short of admirers but they may find relationships challenging as their head is always off in a new direction. They are prone to mood swings and are drawn toward intelligent and progressive thinkers who share their love of adventure and constant change. However, once they find a partner who is able to keep up and cope, they really do enjoy and benefit from the peace and stability a close relationship can bring.
Health
People born on this day tend to live life in the fast lane so they need to watch their blood pressure and susceptibility to stress-related illnesses. As far as diet is concerned regular meals and snacks are essential to keep their energy levels high, and they should never go on fasts or extreme diets. Vigorous exercise is recommended to help them work off some of that energy, as are mind-body therapies, such as meditation, that can help them get in touch with their inner self. Wearing, meditating and surrounding themselves with light green and blue will encourage them to take action and to enjoy moderation.
Career
These people don’t just need variety; it is their life force, so they thrive in careers that offer them fast change and plenty of travel and do not involve routine. They make great travel guides, pilots, astronauts, airline personnel and navigators, as well as accomplished journalists, actors, musicians, artists, poets and even chefs. Whatever career they choose, these multi-talented individuals need action and constant challenge, otherwise they quickly lose interest.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to control their tendency to flit from one project to another, one relationship to the next, without exploring fully or really getting to know another person. Once they have learned the importance of patience and introspection, they have the potential to amaze those around them, whatever they choose to do.

Luck maker
Allow others to give to you
Luck is always knocking on your door, but it won’t come to you unless you open the door and are willing to let luck in.
People born on January 23 are dissenters. They dislike and often refuse to take orders or even advice from other people and prefer to live according to their own rules, devoting themselves to their own ideals. Although this approach has its risks, more often than not their courageous and buoyant character sees them making, rather than obeying, the rules.
Rarely motivated by financial reward alone, January 23 people are idealistic and desire to live a richly rewarding life. This quality, along with their original thinking and natural sense of style, makes them stand out from the crowd in a positive way. They truly are inspirational figures.
Despite their can-do attitude and charisma, people born on this day never feel quite worthy of the admiration they attract. Although this adds further to their charm, it can sometimes hold them back. However, once they are able to believe in themselves, there is nothing to stop them achieving their own dreams.
With their splendid disregard for convention and highly intellectual and original approach to life, January 23 people find that they can get along with almost everyone they meet, although people with more materialistic motivations present a challenge; people who throw their money about, or who are trying to impress others and climb socially, particularly repulse them. This is because integrity and moral strength are the ideals by which they live their lives.
Understanding the limitations of the human body, those born on this day prefer to live an intellectual life. This can make those close to them occasionally feel excluded and it is important for them to understand that they need a fully integrated personality able to offer others a sensitive depth of understanding. Typically around the age of twenty-eight they become more emotionally receptive and sensitive toward the needs of others.
If those born on this day can make sure that their fascination with the abstract does not take precedence over their personal relationships, they have the potential to become rebels not just with a cause but with ideals that will have an influence on the world around them.
On the dark side
Isolated, rebellious, troubled
At your best
Principled, independent, courageous
Love
Those born on January 23 definitely need a partner who can challenge them intellectually, as they love to talk about almost anything. They need the freedom to be themselves but also the stability of a secure and loyal partner. They need to be careful that their independent and self-reliant attitude doesn’t make partners think they don’t need anyone but themselves. These people need a close relationship far more than they would ever admit to.
Health
Those born on this day are distrustful of doctors and only seek medical advice as a last resort. They like to feel that they are the expert on their health and they will have strong beliefs about the food they eat and the kind of exercise routines they undertake. Because of this, they can either be extremely fanatical about their health or completely disinterested; it is important for them to learn to seek the advice of experts when it is appropriate, because although most of the time they are the best judge of what works for them, sometimes they aren’t. Reading, meditating or surrounding themselves with the color purple will encourage them to be more open-minded and to accept change with trust and optimism.
