services, healing and the caring professions are a natural fit, but their curious and organized personality suits writing, sociology, counseling, psychology, politics, music, the arts, writing, finance, sales, marketing and technology. They also make fine inventors. Keeping a favorable attitude toward themselves through positive thinking, as well as a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps them avoid a tendency toward feeling insecure about themselves and resulting self-destructive behavior. For self-care, give yourself a kiss on the back of one of your wrists as a symbolic reminder of the life-changing importance of self-love.
These people love the idea of finding a soul mate—someone who completes them—but they are unlikely to find a partner until they learn to complete themselves first. It is vitally important for them to come to terms with who they are and to feel comfortable with their personality, because when they do they are an unstoppable force. Turning points for greater emotional identity are the late twenties and then the late fifties. Once they learn to love and trust themselves, their destiny is to share their sense of original and progressive purpose with the world in a way that truly sets them apart.

People born on January 26 are enterprising individuals with a commanding presence. They love to spearhead new trends and their determination and success-orientated approach give them the potential to turn all their dreams into reality. Their insistence on always having the last word makes them excellent leaders. The one thing they really don’t like is having their authority questioned. They are not known for their patience and are prone to making snap decisions without consulting others, which can cause them trouble; their bluntness can also truly upset others. Once they are able to recognize the importance of compromise and considering the impact of their words and actions on others, their down-to-earth resilient approach, dynamic energy and bold originality guarantee their success and the undying loyalty of others.
Born leaders and motivators, these driven people can go far if they avoid power struggles. Their ability to spot opportunities makes them great CEOs, managers, consultants, life coaches, agents, advertisers, financial advisors and managers, but their individuality and natural authority may also find a home in the world of the law, the media, music and entertainment. An early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle that avoids extremes benefits their health the most. For self-care, smile warmly at someone today for no other reason than to acknowledge your shared humanity.
Natural flirts, these people need to avoid getting involved with people for the wrong reasons; for example, because they feel they can help them climb the ladder of success. They are usually found where the party or the action is and are great at networking, but to lead a fulfilled life they must nurture their inner life and the quality of their relationships. Fortunately, after the age of 25, and then again at the age of 55, they tend to shift toward becoming more inner-focused and less externally orientated. Once they have learned the importance of compromise, and to motivate people through a spirit of cooperation rather than dictatorship, their destiny is to be right up there at the forefront of inspirational new trends and ideas.

The Birthday of Quick Starts

Luck maker: Discipline is an essential ingredient for success.
January 27-born are often blessed with outstanding creative talents that are likely to emerge early in their lives. Material gain is unlikely to be the main motivating force—their motivation is more a personal desire to challenge themselves, to create the life of their dreams. They love the journey more than the arrival, the thrill of the chase. Intelligent, they often pick things up very quickly, and their talent for careful planning but also adapting effortlessly along the way to the new can turn them into trendsetters.
Born studious, these people have the potential to rise to public office and power in high places. They love learning and will use their knowledge and creativity to help others. Social welfare, the healing professions, counseling, teaching, childcare and mentoring others appeal to them. They can also be good freelancers and may use their creativity in the arts, theater, social media or music. Their tendency to become self-absorbed can lead to stress, anxiety and sudden outbursts of rage, so it is important they prioritize regular rest and time out. For self-care, perform a yoga tree pose or spend time close to a tree. Let your imagination sense the deep roots of the tree. Feel yourself slowing down and becoming grounded
