People born on January 24 are blessed with the ability to stun all those who come into contact with them with their larger-than-life glamor. Everybody wants a piece of them and they are never short of admirers.
Although people are drawn to them sometimes to the point of infatuation, those born on this day have an aloof quality about them. Few know them really well and even fewer get close enough to know their hearts. This may be because behind their natural ability to excite others there is a deepseated fear of experiencing a negative reaction. To protect themselves from this they prefer to keep everyone at arm’s length and to keep quiet about what really excites them. In the short term this approach seems to only increase their popularity, but in the long run this suppression of their true feelings can lead to emotional damage. It is important for them to move away from suspicion of others to the belief that true friends will appreciate them just as they are. Typically around the age of twenty-seven there is a turning point, which suggests a movement away from total independence to greater emotional sensitivity.
Despite feeling insecure at times and misunderstood most of the time, the unique qualities and spark of genius people born on this day possess mean that they are never short of original ideas. They are capable of making great breakthroughs in their careers while at the same time being a delight to have around. They do enjoy being in this position but the danger is that it can lead to vanity. It really is better for their psychological growth to come down to earth with everybody else from time to time.
If those born on this day can find the courage to break down the barriers they have put up and become the person they really are, they may lose some of their idol status but they will gain something far greater in return: self-knowledge. And when they are finally able to understand themselves better, the potential for true greatness lies within them.
☆ On the dark side：Vain, insecure, aloof
☆ At your best：Energetic, exciting, stunning
Those born on January 24 can receive an inordinate amount of admiration and lovalrv from those around them. There are certain attractive elements to their active personalities that seem to draw people to them like flies. Yet. of course, this creates its own set of problems. Since so much is put on them by others, in terms of psychological projection (in extreme cases amounting to worship), their load is indeed a heavy one to bear. Not only for their "fans." but for their family, friends and associates. January 2-i people often must function as icons—perfect embodiments of what others themselves would like to be. Not surprisinglv. jealousy from those who want what they have, or feel inferior to them, is also common.
It is only natural that many January 24 people appear conceited or stuck-up. since they often have been placed or have placed themselves in an exalted position from adolescence and early adulthood on. They may adopt an aloof attitude, primarily as a defense which protects their privacy. (Another reason may be that they work so hard that they regard personal intrusions as unwanted distractions.) Because January 2-4 people often hold lingering doubts whether they are as great as they are cracked up to be. they may not wish others to examine them so minutely. However, as long as they respond to the desires and wishes of others and satisfy expectations. they usually manage to maintain their position of high standing. The problem is that they may be completely out of touch with what they themselves want from life.
January 2-i people must have the courage to. at some point, break down whatever false images of themselves exist and become the person they really are. One way to realize this is to be more transparent, i.e.. more vulnerable in allowing others to see into their thoughts and emotions.
This requires being less distanced, partaking in the normal give and take of everyday life, in the sharing of joys and sorrows with others as equals. In plain terms. January 24 people need to step off their pedestal and get down in the soup with everybody else. Until they do so. they will continue to be treated as a kind of rarefied being, which although providing them with a kind of pleasurable ego massage really does nothing for their character, personal growth or spiritual development.
Once January 24 people come to realize that the admiration of others can in fact be manipulation and that they are in fact hooked on it. they will have taken the first positive step toward change. Giving up certain activities and associates may be essential for their transformation back to themselves. When they have reached this stage they will be free to shine once more, but with a true inner light which need not reflect what other people wish to see.

Those born on the 24th day of the month are niled by the number 6 (2-и=6). and In the planet Venus. Because those ruled by the numl>er 6 are magnetic in attracting love and admiration, and since Venus is strongly connected with social interaction, it is an ever-present temptation for January 2-4 people to give themselves over to an easy pursuit of pleasure and become an object of admiration. The combination of Venus With Uranus. Aquarius’ ruler, can lend nervous and erratic energy, and sometimes cold and aloof qualities to January 24 people in their love and social relationships. Often love becomes the dominant theme in the lives of those ailed by the number 6.
Emphasizing this last point is the fact that the 6th card of the Major Arcana i.s The Lovers, symbolizing the love that unites all of humanity through integration of masculine and feminine polarities. On the good side this card suggests affections and desires on a high moral, aesthetic but also physical plane: on the bad side it may indicate games of seduction, unfulfilled desires, sentimentality or indecision.

They need a partner who is willing to give them the time and space they need to open up fully.
Those born on this day tend to be extremely careful with their health and appearance; it is important that they don’t become obsessed with their diet, or an exercise or beauty regime. When it comes to their health, balance in all things is crucial. They would particularly benefit from group sporting activities that take the focus away from them and onto a team, as well as time spent relaxing with family and friends. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with warm down-to-earth colors such as brown and green will help stimulate their creativity and interaction with others.
Those bom on January 24 may be alternately overattentive and neglectful regarding their physical appearance. It is important that they adopt a stable, non-obsessive attitude toward their skin, hair and figure. Joining a sports team, working out at a health club, participating in group therapy or in yoga classes can all benefit their psyche and bring them closer to people Culinan pursuits, particularly sharing meals with family and friends is highly recommended.

January 2 1 people often find affection and friendship at least as important as intimate form* of sexual expression, and do well when they achieve a balance between the two.
Fear of the disapproval and non-acceptance of others often means that these people are at their happiest among children, or working with animals or with nature, as here they feel they can experience a level of trust and understanding that is perhaps lacking in their relationships with people. With their keen intelligence they are likely to succeed in almost any career, but they may find themselves drawn toward philosophy, religion, law, education, sociology, psychology, astrology, writing or the entertainment world.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to feel comfortable with the person they are and not to create false images of themselves. Once they are able to open up, their destiny is to inspire others with their honesty, integrity and genuine desire to make the world a better place.
