10 JANUARY


The Birthday of the Realist

“I know the best way forward”


The life lesson: is to take the feelings of others into consideration.

The way forward: is to understand that the truth can be presented in both a realistic and a positive way.

Luck maker: The more you make others feel good about themselves, the better they feel about you.


People born on January 10 are a force of nature. Individualistic and curious, they tend to speak their mind without subtlety or compromise, and although this can be shocking at times, they are highly valued for their honesty and for their realistic assessments of things. During times of uncertainty people seek them out for their wisdom, which never fails to surprise them. They are also never afraid to support unpopular viewpoints and to champion the underdog. On the downside, their inability to dress up the truth can upset people around them, stopping them advancing as fast in life as more diplomatic peers.

With their ability to see clearly, adapt to change and solve puzzles, these people are born troubleshooters in any career they choose to dedicate their considerable talents to. Bold business ideas are more likely to appeal to them than specialist ideas, and financial return is important. Computer programming, engineering, medicine, accountancy, banking, finance, the law, advertising and management all appeal. Their unconventional flair and willingness to take risks may lead them into entertainment, sport entrepreneurship or even to the unknown—these people are highly likely to volunteer for space travel. They need exciting outlets for both their mental and physical energy. For self-care, before you talk to, write, text or email someone today, pause for a few moments to consider the impact of your words on the person you are addressing.

In relationships these people can be jealous and controlling, but there is softness beneath their closed-book persona. Likewise, they can appear grumpy and lacking in empathy, but they are not negative or unhappy, just truth-tellers. It isn’t until they hit their forties and beyond that they become more empathetic toward those less able to cope with change and the ups and downs of life. Once they begin to understand that not everyone is as clear-sighted as they are, and that a gentler approach can help them achieve their objectives more effectively, people born on this day can earn the loyalty of others and make a lasting impact on the world. Their destiny is to bring both themselves and others closer to the truth, with their revealing assessment of people and situations.
