The Birthday of Fantasy
“I can show you the world”
The life lesson: is learning to concentrate.
The way forward: is not to stop daydreaming—this is the secret to your creativity—but when your mind wanders to gently bring your thoughts back to the present moment.
Luck maker: Finish what you start, even if that means doing things you find boring.
The creative powers of people born on January 18 can lead them to pure visionary heights. They have a quick wit and boundless energy that often delights others and are often surrounded by admirers. Optimistic, the only things that can bring down these endearing child-like souls are rules. They place a high value on independence and need to find an environment in which their need for freedom and play (fun) is respected because, if they don’t, this will lead them to bitterness. They can become bored quickly, losing their concentration and retreating into a world of fantasy or fits of temper if their needs aren’t being met, or becoming restless and impatient if they feel too confined.
Born creators, if a career interests them enough, they are likely to excel. Once they learn to combine their creativity with practical application, the fields of advertising, fashion, business, banking, property development and online influencing may appeal. Their idealism draws them to teaching, medicine, science, technology and charity work, and their sense of playful expression to art, film, literature, the media and entertainment. Because they live so much in their heads, they need to make sure they pay attention to their physical wellbeing and avoid mood-altering substances. For self-care, when you eat your evening meal, switch off your phone and any distractions. Focus your attention only on the food. Put your life and fork down between bites. Savor the moment.
These people throw themselves deeply into relationships and can be hurt easily if their partner does not respond the same. They often fear they will not find a soul mate who will love them with the intensity they offer and crave, but more often than not they do. They become more emotionally balanced and mature in their thirties, and this empowering trend continues building momentum as they age. Asking them to be more realistic about love and life simply isn’t an option or worth forcing on them, as imagination is who they are. Their destiny is to inspire others with their flights of fantasy and encourage them to take a more courageous and imaginative perspective.
