January 18 Zodiac Birthday Signs – With your smart and shrewd approach to life and a charming personality, you have a head start over others in your ability to succeed in life. Ambitious and broad-minded, with strong leadership potential, you prefer to give the orders, but may have to resist going too far and becoming bossy. Fortunately, a humanitarian side to your personality suggests that you are a good judge of character and enjoy helping others.

With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, you have a keen intellect and good communication skills. Your excellent sense of structure indicates that you possess natural business sense and a willingness to work hard for success. Practical and perceptive, you can make astute observations, but you may have to avoid a tendency to be critical. Common sense and good concentration imply that you are capable of deep thought and productive results.

Sociable and friendly, when relaxed you can also display an original sense of humor or satire. A tendency to disappointment or frustration, however, may sometimes drain you of your positivity. It is important to stay detached and see the larger picture. By being broad-minded, you can afford to be generous with others and show them a side to your nature that is warm, giving, and magnanimous. Inventive and with original ideas, you have the potential to inspire others with your enthusiasm and grand plans.

While you are between the ages of three and thirty-two your progressed Sun is in Aquarius, highlighting your individuality, friendship, desire for freedom, and group awareness. At age thirty-three, as your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, there is a turning point that emphasizes the importance of your sensitivity, imagination, and need to feel more in touch with your emotions. Another change at age sixty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Aries, accents a desire for self-assertion, more action, and new beginnings.

Work & Vocation

Capable and creative, you are often interested in combining your talents with your practical abilities. An excellent image maker, you may become involved in the world of advertising, fashion, or media. Idealistic and progressive, you may be interested in teaching, training, or charity work. If in business, intuition and a strong sixth sense may help you to succeed in the world of Banking, investment, and the stock exchange. Alternatively, you can use your compassionate nature by joining the healing professions or work in science and technology as a researcher. The dramatic side of your personality may inspire you to write or join the world of film and theater as an actor, promoter, or producer.

Love & Relationships

It is important in your relationships to keep a sense of balance. At times you may appear cool or detached and at other times you can be warm and caring. A vital part of your agenda is to have friends and partners who can keep challenging you mentally; otherwise you may become somewhat compulsive or argumentative. Working too hard and not giving your partners enough of your time can also present possible problems. It is better, therefore, to have companions who are also fairly independent in their own right. Nevertheless, you are loyal, loving, and a supportive friend and partner.
