Astute charmer
You are a dynamic and creative Capricorn, with sharp, quick mental responses. If you are interested in a project or idea, the influence of your birthday makes you ambitious and hardworking. Usually you are an independent thinker who is particularly inventive when challenged, but you must guard against taking the easy option and not living up to your true potential. Although you will always have a youthful quality, it is through developing perseverance and a responsible attitude that you are able to achieve almost anything.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, you can be extremely charming, especially when it is in your own interests. Appearance is important to you, and you have a keen eye for style and beauty. This date of birth often bestows musical or dramatic appreciation or talent that you may wish to develop. With good financial know-how and strong survival instincts, you can accumulate wealth and utilize your surroundings to your advantage. Essential to your success and accomplishment are education, planning, and a dedicated, methodical approach.
You have the choice between using the discipline of your birthday or being manipulative to attain your desires. It is wise to avoid negative thinking and a worrisome attitude.

Although you have a tendency to be skeptical, you come to develop an independent and free-thinking philosophy.
Before the age of seventeen you are likely to be watchful in your approach to life. After the age of eighteen, however, when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius, you become more independent and less influenced by tradition or the opinions of others. You have a strong desire to express your individuality; friends, group affairs, or humanitarian issues may also start to play a stronger role in your life. By your middle years you come to realize that nothing is free and in order to succeed you must invest time and effort. Another turning point occurs at the age of forty-eight, when your progressed Sun enters Pisces. From this time, there is an emphasis on your enhanced sensitivity and feelings. You will be more receptive, imaginative, and compassionate or be drawn to spiritual interests.

The magnetic aura and charm exuded by January 3 people mask the fact that at their core lies a sin- gle-minded commitment to the pursuit of their ideals. Once a venture captures their imagination, they will go to almost any lengths to see it through, refusing to compromise or be deflected from their chosen path. Af- fable, humorous and quirky, their highly individualistic characters draw others to them, and January 3 people can be quick to take advantage of the effect that they have on other people in order to gain their participation in a pet project; this tendency is reinforced if they were born in the Chinese year of the dragon. Such a combi- nation of idealism and manipulative skills makes them imaginative and gifted team leaders, and they will not hesitate to use a whole armory of tactics to ensure that their coworkers achieve a common goal. The quality of wholehearted commitment may be a double-edged sword, however, for it can simultaneously inspire and exasperate others. January 3 people can become ob- sessive, so convinced of the rightness of their chosen course that they will ignore alternative viewpoints.
Loyalty is a key component in the make-up of Jan- uary 3 people, and this applies just as much to their domestic as to their professional lives—provided, that is, that their friends and loved ones fall into line with them. Other related features displayed by these peo- ple are trustworthiness and reliability, qualities which mean that they will not only deliver anything that is required of them, but will furthermore provide a stable environment for their families. Although others can depend upon their support, January 3 people will suf- fer disappointment and disillusionment if this loyalty is not reciprocated.
