Theresa Cheung – The Element Encyclopedia of Birthdays (страница 28)
Trying to be noticed is not a recipe for success; in fact it often chases it away. Stop trying so hard, learn to trust in yourself and notice how your luck improves.
Charming and attractive, those born on January 28 know how to project a confident image to others. They are star performers who don’t really care what other people think and their creative potential is as strong as their desire to impress others. Impressing others means as much to them as their achievements, and more often than not their achievements are so special that others have every reason to be impressed.
People born on this day will be themselves and follow their own path no matter what. They prefer to think independently, and when their rebellious streak is properly channeled it can help them forge ahead of the rest. Although they do love to be the center of attention and to be admired, they also have great depth and a shrewd insight into the motivations and feelings of others. This can help them achieve their goals, earning them friends along the way.
Sometimes those born on this day may find themselves sitting on the sidelines watching others, perhaps because they are too outrageous to be included; but sooner or later their creativity and individuality pull them back into the action where they belong. Despite their star quality, those born on this day do understand the importance of hard work and their desire to achieve something great never obscures for them the need to put in the hard work. And this combination of courage and individuality with practicality and discipline makes them the pioneer they were born to be.
Those born on January 28 run the risk of needing to be told over and over again how special they are. They may also make foolish, unrealistic decisions in their attempt to be noticed. Fortunately, around the age of twenty-three and again around the age of fifty-three there is a powerful shift toward greater emotional maturity; this emphasis on intuition will serve them well. Once people born on this day learn to listen to their intuition, not only will they attract amazing opportunities to show the world just how brilliant they really are, but their life will feel more complete.

Love
People born on January 28 tend to have a rather complicated love life and this is due to the fact that they want everybody to be in love with them. They flirt terribly and may acquire a reputation for being too easy. This isn’t in fact the case, as their motivation is simply a desire to please others and make them happy. However, for their own sake they need to learn to spread themselves a little less thinly and to find a partner they love enough to be able to say both yes and no to.
Health
People born on this day tend to be quite excitable and they would benefit enormously from mind-body techniques, such as yoga or martial arts, that teach them the importance of mental control. They should also not let their determination to stand out elevate them to a superhuman status where they neglect their health. Regular physical check-ups are important, as are a healthy diet and plenty of exercise to burn off some of their energy. As long as they are not allergic to them, the soothing scent of strawberries or vanilla will help bring calm and grounding.
Career
These people have a flair for anything artistic, as well as design, architecture and property development. Music has a strong appeal, even if it is just an interest or hobby. Their gift with words and need to be seen or heard mean that they can do well in careers that involve communication, such as writing, public relations or the media. High achievers with the ability to lead and motivate and inspire others, they could also do well in management or the business world, as well as fighting for a social or a political cause.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn the importance of selfbelief that comes from within rather than without. Once they have learned to develop real confidence, their destiny is to be noticed and to use their star quality to make a positive difference in the world.

Luck maker
Be proactive
Reactive people make choices on impulse; they are like reeds blowing in the wind. Proactive people are lucky people because they recognize that they can’t always control what happens to them but they can control the way they react.
People born on January 29 are highly intuitive but also very persuasive in their approach to others. They always say what they think, being direct and forceful without being offensive. Their generous nature and strong belief that there is good in everyone earn them not just the respect but the love of all who cross their path.
People born on this day may use their creative, quietly rebellious streak to support the rights of others. Their excellent communication skills serve them well in both their work and social life. The keys to their success as a negotiator and as a person are their intuitive power and their desire to work cooperatively rather than independently. They have the ability to sense what others are thinking and feeling, and when the moment is right to make a move. They also understand the power of synergy and how a group of people working toward a common goal is the greatest force of all.
Although they are open-minded and generally tolerant of the viewpoints of others, they may occasionally withdraw into unassertive behavior and—in extreme cases—into inertia; once they are able to trust their ability to make the right decision they can, however, reach for the stars. Fortunately, around the ages of twenty-two and fifty-two there are powerful turning points in their lives when they develop a greater degree of self-awareness. Life generally becomes much easier for them in their early thirties and beyond, as they start to realize that within them is the power to achieve almost anything.
Once people born on this day have developed their self-belief, their formidable determination to right wrongs can evoke extreme reactions from others; when the reaction is positive they grow in courage, but when negative they may feel hurt. It is important for them to understand that it is impossible to please everyone; sometimes there is a need to be cruel to be kind. And when they learn this they can fulfill their role as the mystic warrior: strong-willed and with the ability to inspire others and gather support for their chosen cause.
On the dark side
Withdrawn, unassertive, indecisive
At your best
Intuitive, generous, tactful
Love
There is a tendency for people born on January 29 to hold back or withdraw from confrontations in a relationship; this will have a negative impact both on themselves and on their partner. Once in a secure relationship they are generous and giving, and they need to make sure they are in a relationship where they are able to take as well as give. Although relationships can be intense when they are young, they tend to find true love later in life when their sense of self-worth has been allowed to flower to its full potential.
Health
People born on this day are sensitive not just to others but to the environment they are in. As a result they may be prone to unexplained mood swings, fatigue, headaches, or allergies or food sensitivities. They need to be extremely careful about their diet, because digestive troubles may occur; they thrive best on a wholesome, down-to-earth diet rich in natural produce and low in meat, dairy, and refined, sweet foods. Regular exercise will benefit their circulatory system as they may be prone to stiff muscles and joints, particularly in the lower body. Time spent catching up with friends or stimulating their mind with a good book will bring them much pleasure. Regular cups of cinnamon herbal tea may help their circulation and their digestion, and reading, meditating or surrounding themselves with shades of blue may help calm their mood.
