23 JANUARY


The Birthday of the Dissenter

“I follow my own path”


The life lesson: is to stop feeling insecure about yourself.

The way forward: is to nurture or parent yourself by making sure that every word or action is one that supports and encourages you.

Luck maker: Accept help and listen to advice from others.


People born on January 23 dislike taking orders or even advice from other people and prefer to live according to their own rules, devoting themselves to their own ideals. Although this approach has its risks, more often than not their courageous and buoyant character sees them making, rather than obeying, the rules. Rarely motivated by financial reward alone, they are idealistic. This quality, along with their original thinking and distinctive style, makes them stand out from the crowd in a positive way. They truly are inspirational figures. Despite their can-do attitude and charisma, people born on this day never feel quite worthy of the admiration they attract. Although this adds to their charm, it can sometimes hold them back, but when they are able to believe in themselves, there is nothing to stop them achieving their own dreams.

Born academics, they are drawn to intellectual pursuits and thrive in student and academic settings. As they are analytical, they can make great scientists and mathematicians. Their more practical side may draw them to technology, finance and business, but their rebellious nature may draw them to entrepreneurship and self-employment. Whatever career they choose, originality will lead the way. They need to avoid becoming obsessive about their health and to seek advice from experts rather than self-diagnose. For self-care, visualize your life as a work of art—mold it in beautiful and loving detail in your mind’s eye. Make it a masterpiece and then express that inspiration in your daily life.

These people are cerebral and this can make them feel emotionally isolated. It is important for them to connect to their feelings and to their bodies, and for their hearts and minds to work in harmony. Typically, around the age of 28 they become more emotionally mature and responsive in relationships, and less distant, and this positive trend continues with age. If they can balance their rebellious streak with practicality, and make sure their fascination with the abstract does not take precedence over their relationships, their destiny is not just to become rebels with an important cause but to encourage others to see things they normally take for granted in an extraordinary new light.
