January 21 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Born on the cusp of Aquarius and Capricorn, you have the advantage of being both friendly and charismatic, yet shrewd and practical. Frank and honest, with strong convictions and sharp intellect, you like to be direct and speak your mind. Original in your approach, you enjoy learning and can be prudent and discerning. Although you possess an easygoing style, you may also have to overcome a tendency to be irritable, as it might estrange you from others.

With the added influence of your Sun in the decanates of Aquarius and Virgo, you can be an inspired thinker with an ability to make accurate observations, particularly about people. Capable of good concentration, you usually take your work seriously. You can be a skillful problem solver. With a touch of the perfectionist, however, you may have to avoid becoming overly critical. Broad-minded and humanitarian, you are a free thinker who is willing to fight injustice and for the rights of others. Often original and ahead of your time with your ideas, you can be highly inventive, but may have to guard against becoming too abrupt or frank, causing upset to others.

Although part of you just wants peace and quiet, a desire for the good life usually motivates you to achieve. If inspired by an ideal or a cause, you will work twice as hard. Being confident and caring, you may find that others often turn to you for support or advice.

Up until you reach the age of twenty-nine, your progressed Sun moves through Aquarius, highlighting issues of freedom, independence, and the need to express your individuality. After the age of thirty, when your progressed Sun moves into Pisces, you become more sensitive and aware of emotional issues. You may develop a greater sense of vision or have more access to your inner world. At the age of sixty, you reach another turning point, as your progressed Sun enters Aries, accenting a greater self-orientation; you also start to feel more confident and assertive. This influence may inspire you to begin new projects.
