This is a psychic date. Many Aquarians have some measure of this capacity but it comes out strongly in January 31 and, as always, ifs a good idea to talk to professionals and get a measure of what's going on. A lot will find they can see other people's auras for instance - rainbow coloured when healthy, dull if not. And some have healing hands.
People born today are extremely intelligent, with logical minds, and may try to reject their talent, even suspecting that the psychic ability is in their imagination. There will also be many only too willing to discourage them. Like any other gift, ifs a tragedy to suppress it. January 31 does no one a service if they absolutely know there is something unpleasant about the house a friend is buying but doesn't say.
In part, this reticence grows from January 31's horror of coincidence conversations. They want to burst into laughter when people get going about how they were standing at a bus stop willing a bus to come and then an utterly amazing thing happened - it did. And how they were just thinking about their neighbour's cat when it walked into the garden! This isn't psychic. It's luck.
If this individual wishes, he or she could make a profession of their talent. Or something allied, such as aromatherapy, where their empathy is valuable. If she's brave enough to go with her hunches, she could make a killing on the horses or the stockmarket, but in this case you do have to be careful - even psychics must retain a sense of humour for when they got the message slightly wrong.
January 31 must also guard against those who want too much help and who could become over-dependent. Unless a deliberate choice is made to openly use the powers, the role of an amateur soothsayer is exhausting and sometimes dangerous. It certainly provokes mockery and gets in the way or normal life.
An air of Aquarian detachment veils your deep devotion to your partner. In a close relationship, you often feel conflicted between your desire for freedom and independence and your need for stability and security. True intimacy can be difficult for you to sustain. You want affection and understanding, yet you dislike overt displays of emotion that make you feel vulnerable.
Nevertheless, your loyalty and rock-solid dependability help you compensate for any emotional shortcomings. The romantic idealism that is so much a part of your character ultimately trumps your resistance to long-term partnerships.
You may be somewhat more conservative than the average water bearer, but you’re also considerably more passionate. In your professional life, you set goals and plan strategy in advance. Perhaps this is the reason you prefer arranging “dates” for your sexual liaisons rather than relying on chance or spontaneity. When you work, you work hard; when you play, you just want to let down your hair and have some fun. You exude sexual electricity and once you get going you’re a wildly original, inventive lover.
Health conscious 31 eats lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, the key to a vitamin-rich diet. But you need to preserve their vitamin values. Avoid storing fresh produce for long as their vitamins diminish with age. Chop vegetables just before cooking because exposing cut surfaces to air reduces many nutrients. Vitamins C and the B complex vitamins are lost in boiling water, as are calcium and iron. So eat raw food, or cook without water by stir-frying. About 80 per cent of zinc disappears in flour milling and 50 per cent in rice polishing. The answer is to eat wholewheat flour and brown rice.
You have a wonderfully dry, biting sense of humor, and you enjoy a fun time as much as anyone. You may not be as into dreams and fantasy as the Pisces next door, but you do get off on role-playing games, especially the kind where you get to act the part of the weird, three-headed alien from beyond the Pleiades.

Emotionally you’re a cool customer. You project a calm exterior, but you are nervous and insecure on the inside. You have difficulty sharing your feelings and emotions, yet you’re more in need of love and understanding than you realize. When you relax and let down some emotional barriers, your life improves dramatically.
