Be realistic
Lucky people value what they know they can achieve. Stay with reality and try to make things better, not perfect.
People born on January 25 come into this world with a powerful sense of destiny or purpose. They feel as if they have been sent with a mission, and until they are able to find and then achieve that mission they will feel unfulfilled.
If those born on this day are able to find a sense of purpose, their hard-working and disciplined approach to life will assure their success. They have the ability to focus their energies on their goals; these goals tend to be for the good of others rather than for themselves alone. They are at their happiest when they are totally immersed in a project, but their over-involvement is never at the expense of their individuality. People born on this day refuse to conform, and personal freedom is extremely important to them. Friendship is also important for them, and with their sharp wit they are never boring.
People born on this day are trendsetters, and you will often see them working one step ahead of the rest, using their intuition to push forward in a new direction. Occasionally they run the risk of pushing themselves too far forward and their off-the-wall experimentation with their appearance and their ideas can leave others feeling bewildered. This willingness to experiment is all part of the powerful sense of destiny that marks the out. Although they do see themselves as uniquely talented, they can also see themselves as uniquely flawed, and when there is tendency to dwell too much on their supposed deficiencies this can result in self-defeating behavior. It is important for them to come to terms with who they are and to feel comfortable with their personality. Typically around the age of twenty-six, sometimes later, they develop a greater sense of emotional identity and honesty.
Once people born on this day recognize that there really is nothing wrong with them and that emotions are not fixed but constantly changing, they have the potential to become bold and effective leaders in their work and dynamic and fascinating people in their personal life.
On the dark side
Nervous, self-defeating, impatient
At your best
Profound, altruistic, individual
Love
People born on January 25 believe strongly in the idea of a soul mate—that person out there who completes them. Although this means that they can be extremely romantic, generous and passionate lovers, their need for total involvement from their partner can at times be too intense. They are drawn toward people who appreciate their need for life and love to be extraordinary.
Health
Those born on this day need to be careful that they do not fall into a state of depression when they feel they are not fulfilling their life purpose. It is crucial for them to keep a positive attitude toward themselves; the best way to achieve this is not just through positive thinking but through a healthy diet, a regular exercise routine and an active social life. They also need to make sure they do not smoke or eat a diet too high in protein or saturated fat, as these could lead to poor mental, physical and emotional health. If they are feeling negative and uncertain, burning bergamot-, lavender- and sandalwood-scented candles may help change their perspective. They may also benefit from thought-changing therapies such as cognitive development or hypnotherapy.
Career
The danger for these people is to be without direction, drifting from job to job, project to project, and scattering their energy and focus. In fact the choice of a career is perhaps more important than anything else for these determined individuals, as once they have settled on a course they tend to do very well in any profession. Writing, sociology and counseling, as well as music and the arts, might suit their curious personality; sales, marketing or financial negotiation might utilize their fine organizational talents. They also make accomplished electricians, inventors and technologists.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to like and trust themselves, and to accept both their limitations and their strengths. Once they are able to do this, they will be able to find their sense of purpose and to share their magnificent gifts with the world.

Learn to listen
Lucky people know how to listen because they understand that other people may have a good idea!
People born on January 26 are strong-willed, enterprising individuals with a commanding presence. They like to be spearheading new trends and ideas, and their determination and success-orientated approach to life give them the potential to turn their dreams into reality.
The commanding air of authority, and insistence on having the last word, that people born on this day are blessed with make them excellent leaders and they excel at motivating and organizing other people. They firmly believe that for things to move forward the only way is for somebody—preferably themselves—to take control. They are pioneers of new ventures who generally earn the respect of others, in particular those who are subordinate to them.
While they have an honest approach and an air of authority, people born on this day are not known for their patience. They are prone to making snap decisions about people and to taking decisions without consulting others. This can lead to trouble and antagonism from others; the one thing people born on this day don’t like is having their authority questioned. It is important for them to keep an open mind about others and to carefully weigh up the pros and cons before making decisions. Once they are able to recognize the importance of compromise, their down-to-earth approach and dynamic energy will guarantee their success and the loyalty of others.
Those born on this day are usually to be found where the action is. They are extremely success orientated, but to lead a fully balanced life and to achieve greater happiness they do need to pay more attention to their inner life and their relationships with others. Fortunately, after the age of approximately twenty-five, sometimes later, they begin to become more sensitive and inner-focused and less externally orientated.
Part of the secret of the success that people born on this day attract is their ability to recover from setbacks. During troubled times in childhood and adolescence they learned that they have the ability to surprise all who doubt them and, once they know what they want, nothing can stand in their way.
On the dark side
Inflexible, opinionated, dictatorial
At your best
Dynamic, enterprising, determined
Love
People born on January 26 are born flirts and run the risk of getting involved with someone else for the wrong reasons; perhaps because they feel that person will help them climb the ladder of success. This is a dangerous approach to love and one they should avoid at all costs because they are capable of giving a relationship their all.
Health
People born on this day need to avoid extremes, and an early-to-bed, early-to-rise routine benefits their health. They need to watch out for sudden bursts of anger and frustration which can make them accident prone, particularly around the legs, knees and ankles. Competition sports are not advised but moderate exercise—such as walking, swimming and cycling—is. As far as diet is concerned, they should cut down their intake of meat and dairy products, and focus more on whole grains, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds, with omega-3 fish oils if their skin gets dry or sensitive. Placing an amethyst crystal under their pillow or wearing amethyst jewelry will help induce feelings of calm and contentment.
Career
Without a doubt, these people possess natural qualities for leadership, and this will take them far if they avoid power struggles. Their ability to spot opportunities makes them great sales leaders, agents, negotiators, CEOs, managers, and advisors. Alternatively, their individual approach may express itself in the world of media and entertainment or they may find fulfillment as a consultant or natural therapist.
