can truly inspire other Aquarians to visionary heights, but they can also help them understand how they can impact others in a positive or negative way. The other signs of the zodiac can also teach Aquarians valuable life lessons. Geminis and Leos mirror their love for adventure, with Geminis encouraging them to be more analytical and Leos inspiring them to have more fun. Taureans and Capricorns can teach them to value the importance of rules and traditions. Virgos can teach them self-discipline, Librans the value of agreeing to disagree, Cancerians and Pisceans the joys of empathy and heartfelt compassion. Sagittarians can help them focus their original ideas, while Scorpios can teach them not to fear getting to know themselves and others intimately. Arians can show them how energizing time alone can be, as well as the importance of separating rebellion for its own sake from rebellion for a just cause.
Chinese astrology counterpart: The Tiger
Tigers are the courageous adventurers and bold unpredictable animals of the Chinese zodiac. They absolutely love to be challenged and to take risks, so it is easy to see why they correspond with the rebellious instinct of their counterpart, Aquarius. They are extremely friendly and often charismatic, but never ever forget they also have very sharp jaws and claws. They can be irritable, opiniated, arrogant, detached and uncompromising.
Being part of a team or group is something they enjoy, but they are loners at heart, who prefer to hunt alone. They must also feel free to express their originality at all times. Blending in with the crowd is something they rarely, if ever, do. Emotional intimacy is an issue for them and it takes them a long time to really trust someone with their heart. Born leaders who are addicted to constant change and transformation, these people are often progressive innovators searching for new ways to do things. They find contentment only when they are forging their own path and making progress doing things their way, however weird or eccentric that way may be.
Note: Aquarians have an affinity with Tiger-sign characteristics, but be sure to check which Chinese sign corresponds to your year of birth, and to read about the characteristics associated with it, too.
The Birthday of the Ad-libber
“I adapt and grow stronger”

The way forward: is to stop the comparison game and remind yourself that you are utterly unique and irreplaceable.
Luck maker: Believe you deserve the best, as positivity about yourself will help attract good things.
January 20 people are expressive and charming improvisers. They may not always be sure where they are going, but they also have no doubt that they will get somewhere. They have a remarkable ability to learn, adapt and constantly improve their skills, and these qualities help them climb the ladder of success, sometimes to the very top. Although they can occasionally appear superficial and flaky—and their flexibility occasionally runs the risk of tipping over into dishonesty and lack of self-discipline —there is always method to their madness. Their flexible and fun but responsible style ensures that they can overcome almost any setback with their sparkling sense of humor intact.
Born healers, those born on this day genuinely care about the wellbeing of others, especially those who are underdogs, so any career that involves dealing with the public appeals. They can achieve much in the world of medicine and science and also make great teachers, counselors and advisors. Their communication and creative skills may draw them to diplomacy, politics, writing, music, the media, blogging, entertainment, and they can thrive in business and as entrepreneurs. Their flexible approach to life extends to their health, so it is important that they don’t ignore warning signs of poor health. For self-care, at the end of each day, record in a journal things that you are grateful for about yourself or things you did today that you are proud of. At the start of each day list the tasks you want to complete and enjoy ticking them off as the day progresses.
These people can become insecure when deeply involved with someone special and need to apply the same go-with-the-flow approach to life to their close relationships. Although they appear tough, the respect of others is extremely important to them, sometimes too much so. They need to learn to trust their own judgment more, as they are usually right. Fortunately, around the age of 30, they reach a powerful turning point that emphasizes the need for working with their gut instinct, and their intuition grows stronger and stronger with age. Once they find a direction and the sense of self-worth essential to their growth, their destiny is to show others that adaptability is a strength, not a weakness, and a truly healing way to progress and create harmony in the world.
