The Birthday of the Bright Spirit
“I have my mission and I choose to accept it”
The life lesson: is to rely less on the approval of others.
The way forward: is to trust what your gut says more than what others say.
Luck maker: Certainty—and not the approval of others—gives you the strength and determination to succeed. Take a stand.
January 31-born tend to have an overwhelming desire to be noticed and, because they are bright, endearing people, they often achieve this goal with ease. They are adored for their creativity, originality, determination and easy expressiveness. They can also be quite progressive, with a touch of genius about them. Although they can appear absent-minded and chaotic at times, this is only because their thoughts are always on fast-forward, their mind ever overflowing with ingenious ideas. When they feel on the verge of a creative breakthrough they can get over-excited, but others tend to find their enthusiasm and creativity appealing rather than annoying.
Born consultants and communicators, they excel as teachers, healers, writers, researchers, counselors, scientists and instigators of social and humanitarian reform. They may also channel their tremendous creativity into the entertainment world or the arts, poetry and music. They are prone to bouts of low self-esteem and insecurity, and could benefit from counseling. They may also find alternative therapies that highlight the connection between their thoughts and their physical and emotional wellbeing beneficial; for example, meditation. For self-care, set aside 10 minutes to meditate on the color blue or simply to mindfully gaze up at the clouds in the sky, to help stabilize your mood and induce deep feelings of inner calm.
These magnetic people are generally well liked, but they do harbor a tendency to be occasionally oversensitive, reading hidden and often wildly inaccurate meanings into the actions and words of others. When they feel upstaged, put upon or let down, they may overreact and either withdraw completely and become depressed, or startle others with their sharp tongue. They need to learn to be a little less intense and sensitive in their relationships and to accept that sharing the limelight does not diminish but enhances their brightness. Around the age of 20 they develop greater self-reliance; at the age of 50 they have another turning point, which highlights emotional resilience and letting go of the fear of being upstaged by others. Once they learn to rely on their own instincts rather than the approval of others, their destiny is to brighten the world with their enchantingly joyful insights and spirits.
