With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, you retain a love for art or beauty as well as a gift for accumulating riches. Highly creative, you prefer to put your talents to some practical use and are often willing to make sacrifices to achieve your objectives.

After the age of fifteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Aquarius, you become less influenced by tradition, more independent, and trusting of your own unique perspective.

Underpinning many of the beliefs and actions of people born on January 6 is a profoundly mystical sense of union with the unseen forces that govern the earth. This empathy may take the form of ecological crusades, or else may find its spiritual expression in religion. Either way, these people form firm moral judgements and are determined enough to overcome their natural tendency to gentleness both to defend their convictions and spread their message to others. Such propagation is greatly aided by their ability to connect with others, and thus effectively to impart their vision to the world. This potent combination of intellectual conviction and communication skills makes people born on this day talented teachers, politicians and artists, but they will flourish in any area in which they can provide focused leadership. Depending as they do so deeply on their instincts, there is a danger that these people will rely on these exclusively, politely rejecting alternative viewpoints. Parents of January 6 children should therefore encourage them to appreciate the value of both personal experience and the wisdom of others.
Because they are inherently self-disciplined, service oriented, and driven by their ideals, these people man- ifest an unusual degree of both tenacity and determi- nation to see a task through, in order that humanity can enjoy the fruits of their visions. Such drive is com- mendable, but these people should remember that not only is perfection rarely achievable, but that it also exacts a considerable personal toll. They should there- fore take care not to neglect their private lives, and should accept the fact that their friends and families appreciate them for what they already are.
