Hang out with happy people

Seek the company of people who make you feel good about yourself, not people who drag you down.

Although those born on January 7 give the impression of being serious and intense, they are irresistibly drawn to anything different, strange and unfamiliar. They have a strong sense of duty and responsibility but secretly dream of living an unconventional life in which they can follow their own rules.

Mentally those born on this day are both logical and intuitive, which makes them unique. They are artists with a scientific mind or scientists with an intuitive flair. They have the instinctive gift of being able to sense the moods of other people and, despite their apparent distance from a situation, they can often understand more about what is going on around them than anyone else. Their nature is also highly sensitive. They find it hard to switch off from the suffering and injustices of the world; as a result, they may frequently become involved in charity work or generously give their time for the benefit of others. Because they can tune in so quickly to what is going on around them, they are always in danger of absorbing negativity from others. Seeking out situations and people that are positive and steady, and avoiding the negative, are therefore important.

January 7 people are dreamers but they rarely let themselves get carried away. As a result, their occasional tendency to drift off into a world of their own can make them feel lonely and cut off from everything and everyone around them. They often have a real sense of connection with the natural world and an extraordinary imagination. Fascination with the mystical, with unexplained phenomena and the afterlife is common, especially after the age of forty-four, sometimes sooner, although fear of being criticized or thought “weird” may prevent them from pursuing their interests.

It is extremely important for those born on this day to develop their self-confidence and to accept that the opinions of others, although valuable, are not final. In this way they will be able to let their frustration go and find the freedom of expression that is so crucial for their happiness and fulfillment.

On the dark side

Isolated, intense, dreamy

At your best

Unusual, intuitive, generous

Love Hot and intense

Relationships with people born on January 7 tend to be very intense; they are attracted to people who are broad minded, unusual or different in some way. Until they develop their self-confidence, they are not always good at asking for what they want, or letting their guard down and showing their true feelings. However, when they feel secure in themselves and in a relationship, they are loyal and passionate partners.

Health Sleep matters

People born on this day tend to be highly sensitive, and as a result fatigue and stress can be a problem. They are particularly susceptible to digestive disorders and need to make sure they eat a fiber-rich diet and take plenty of exercise. Unusual forms of exercise like Tai Chi may appeal. Because fatigue is a common problem, they may need to make sure they eat plenty of foods rich in iron, such as tofu, turkey and legumes, to protect against anemia—a common cause of fatigue—and get more sleep. They should aim for between six and eight hours a night because a good night’s sleep is extremely important for them. A glass of chamomile tea can help them unwind before sleep.

Career Born planners

These people thrive in careers that require them to use their mind and their imaginative powers. They make great teachers, writers, career counselors and artists, but their humanitarian focus may also lead them toward charitable or social work. They are willing to work behind the scenes as a producer, programmer or agent and their superb organizational skills could also point them to roles in administration, research or management.

Destiny To unite opposites

The life path of those born on this day is to learn to have faith in themselves. Once they can do that, their destiny is to share their talent with the world by crossing boundaries, healing differences and uniting opposites.
