January 1 is a natural child of change, not surprising since he is born on our first day of the new year. To this person there is always everything to look forward to and mistakes which went before are to be forgotten. Both sexes may learn from these mistakes, but the/re not hot on learning, preferring to ignore. No change in circumstance holds much fear for these creatures. They listen to their very developed instincts and their timing is usually perfect, but even if it's not, there's always another chance in the life of January 1.
As bosses both sexes can be irritating, enthusiastically and thoughtlessly reorganising. When employees raise objections to coming in dressed in yellow and standing up during meetings, this person chants his mantra, ‘People don't like change, but it's good for you.’ Still they are always easy-going if change is imposed upon them, so management courts them.
Most January 1 people have a hefty streak of the psychic which acts as their guiding light, sniffing ill will as it comes in the door and the sweeter perfume of good will. Many are devoted to astrology and consult an astrologer about journeys, financial and marital decisions, and job changes. Care is taken about the house and garden not to harbour objects which bring ill luck and many avoid wearing green or living in green painted rooms.
Sexually, this earthy person is addicted to love in the open air. Sun-warmed grass, a bed of soft leaves - all of this is extremely alluring and a ramble frequently includes a pause for passion under the poplar tree. You won't get caught by a passing policeman because Capricorn's psyche acts as an early warning system.
All their life the psyche brings special opportunities. Many collect art or antiques with a special advantage over others. Others travel widely with their families. Fabulous festivals blossom in their path and dangerous journeys are avoided because the psyche says ‘no'.
The object of your affection may have a hard time figuring out exactly who you are and where you’re coming from. Emotionally, you’re cautious and may have considerable difficulty expressing your feelings, even in the most intimate situation. Commitment is not something you take lightly or without careful consideration. Your demanding nature makes you extremely selective, with a screening process for prospective partners that is more likely ruled by your head than your heart. Nevertheless, once you make your choice, you move ahead with all deliberate speed and refuse to take no for an answer.
A secret romantic, you’re considerably warmer and more ardent than the typical goat. Yet for all your sensuality, you hold a somewhat rigid view of sexuality that makes you extremely cautious. An innate dislike of public displays of affection helps you keep your powerful libido under strict control outside the bedroom. Even in bed, you may need some encouragement from your special someone before you’re able to loosen up enough to follow your carnal impulses.
This person likes to make love all night and pursues his and her Saturnalian tastes until a great age. Both sexes choose their mates passionately lavish them with presents and many decorate their bedrooms with the favourite lucky Capricorn colour, violet. Capricorn have bodies spectacularly dotted with erogenous zones and can become instantly aroused if the backs of their knees are stroked even in the most public of places. Watch out for their wrists (especially the inside), their forearms, the base of the throat and - particularly with the men - the shoulder blades. Wise to avoid touching unless it's in privacy with love in mind.
Easily bored, you quickly tire of the same old routine and need a sense of adventure in your love life. However, it isn’t the notion of a different partner that turns you on. What you want is the variety and excitement of sexual experimentation with your mate, yet you can be quite hesitant when it comes to asking for what you want.
When love goes wrong, beware. January 1 harbours enmity for life and can be a bitter opponent. Best birthdates for a mate are from April 21 to May 21 and between August 21 and September 21.
Friends and family mean a great deal to you, and you’re extremely generous to those you care about. But your take-charge attitude can make you so controlling and possessive that others find living with you difficult. You need to learn how to relax and unwind with your loved ones, lest your ambition and super-industrious nature turn you into a genuine workaholic.
