The Birthday of the Leader
“I lead and I inspire”
The life lesson: is knowing the difference between what can be changed and what cannot.
The way forward: is understanding that although some things can’t be changed, what can be changed is how you react – with a positive attitude and willingness to learn from every experience, you need never feel helpless again.
Luck maker: Success attracts success. Mix with upbeat and positive people and release toxic people from your life.
January 17-born love to take the lead, not necessarily because they are egotistical but because, having assessed the situation, it is clear to them that they really are the best person for the job. Despite being respectful of tradition, they can also hold progressive ideas about social reform. They like to help others. A defining characteristic is their tough-minded, self-controlled (sometimes irritable) approach and their belief that the only person upon whom they can really rely is themselves. They know the meaning of the word “struggle,” and are a model of inspirational self-made success.
Born disciplinarians, these people are drawn to careers where self-control matters, such as in sport or the military, the law, the police or the clergy. They are superb at managing and inspiring teams, so careers in the civil service, government, banking, teaching and business may appeal. They also have an interest in fashion, hospitality and catering, as well as teaching, writing and humanitarian work. People with this birthday have a tendency to repress their emotions, so they need to find activities such as competitive sport or other forms of vigorous exercise, which can act as an emotional release. For self-care, make a point in conversation to ask other people as many questions as you can. You don’t have to agree. Simply learn a new perspective and add it to your store of knowledge.
These direct and driven people take the lead in both their working life and relationships. They are loving and generous, but can become controlling of those closest to them and need to give their loved ones freedom as well as intimacy. Fortunately, in their early thirties, there is a shift toward allowing both themselves and others greater freedom, with another powerful shift happening in their early sixties. Once they have learned to get others on their side through cooperation rather than control, and to truly believe there is always a better way, their destiny is to lead by their powerful example and help others to work harmoniously toward the greater good.
