January 21 Birthday Astrology

For people born on January 21, friends provide a great source of love and fellowship. They learn important lessons from friends, though they are more likely to provide leadership. They are more conventional in romantic matters than many Aquarians. They are interested in marriage rather than the pursuit of a series of relationships.

Many January 21 people grow up feeling in sync with their childhood upbringing, only to discover when they hit middle age that they're still carrying around anger and unresolved issues. They can be demanding parents. They expect their children to follow a specific code of conduct and to handle responsibility early.

People born on January 21 see themselves as invulnerable to illness or injury, so it always comes as a surprise if they are faced with a health problem. Weight can be an issue, especially later in life. They are known to be big eaters, but as long as they remain active there is little chance of putting on extra pounds.

January 21 men and women need to feel they call the shots in their professional lives. They have some difficulty working for others -- perfectionism is part of the problem. They are equally fanatical about watching how every penny is spent.

January 21 natives can be disillusioned when their goals become reality -- their motivation vanishes. It's necessary for them to have many goals to prevent them from becoming directionless. They need to understand that it is their own best efforts, not success, that crowns their achievement.
