The Birthday of the Idol
“I joyously give to life and life joyously gives to me”
The life lesson: is learning not to fear criticism.
The way forward: is to use criticism as an incentive to learn and grow. Praise may be flattering, but it teaches you nothing.
Luck maker: Be authentic. People instinctively respond to what comes from the heart.
January 24 people tend to be stunning. Everybody wants a piece of them and they are never short of admirers, but, despite this, few get close enough to know their hearts. This may be because behind their natural ability to excite others with their imaginative flights there is a deep-seated fear of criticism and rejection. They often feel misunderstood, but there is a spark of originality, even genius about them. The greatest danger is that the admiration they so naturally attract can lead to vanity.
Born nature lovers, these people are at their happiest working with nature, animals or children, where they can experience the level of unconditional acceptance they fear others may not give them. They have the intelligence to become a breakthrough talent in any career, but may be drawn to education, religion, philosophy, the law, sociology, writing, modeling, vlogging or the world of entertainment. They need to make sure they don’t get fanatical about their health—maintaining a balance in all things, especially diet and lifestyle, is crucial. For self-care, when you wake up in the morning speak to yourself the way a loving parent would to a child. Say out loud that you are special and deserve to be loved simply for being you.
It is not hard for these people to attract potential partners, but it is extremely hard for them to let someone get really close to them. They require a partner who respects their need for personal space. They need to move away from fear of emotional closeness to the belief that others will appreciate them just as they are. Typically, around the age of 27 and then again in their late fifties there are turning points, which suggests greater emotional depth and connection. Once they learn to stop pretending to be someone they are not and become the person they really are, they may lose some of their idol status but will gain something far greater in return: self-knowledge. And when they are finally able to understand themselves better, their destiny is to inspire others to work with them to help make the world a kinder and a better place.
