Born on

January 6

A Sagittarian Sun backed by Jupiter will call the shots. You will refuse to play second fiddle. The choice before you is whether to listen to your heart or yield to other compulsions. In all probability, you will opt for the former. You can emerge wiser during the first quarter. Your capacity to act on your own will increase during the second. Those who are trying to run you down will face defeat during the third. A new hobby could catch your fancy during the last one.

January 7

A Sagittarian moon on ascendancy will make you opt for work rather than for fun. You may add new feathers to your cap. A year of prosperity and well being is on its way. Your refined outlook and action-oriented approach to ticklish problems will enable you to take a leap in your professional life. There is absolutely no need to crave for more work, a new venture or even to diversity. The existing activities are quite enough to keep you busy.

January 8

Mars, sighted by Sun, Pluto and Rahu may drive you towards an expensive phase. Despite being a strong votary of simple living and high thinking, you may fail to put your finances on sound lines. March and April are sluggish months. Take care of your health during June and July. Mixing business with pleasure will be demanding from August. Health should be more important than money during the later half of the year.

January 9

One step forward and two backwards is what your stars predict. Your unstable state of mind will encourage you to go in for risky ventures. Those who have been serving you during the past may turn their back on you. If married recently, you can expect a few rough patches. Curb your habit to make uncalled for commitments.

January 10

The year could see you riding high. You will stretch yourself beyond your capacity. Try to remain within your limits. The period to establish yourself will be from April. Don’t be perplexed if your social life becomes a drain on your purse during June and July. The urge to travel will top your agenda during September and October. Good luck will be in full swing during the end part.

January 11

Many born on this day would love to presume that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Life is likely to be a bed of roses for them and pleasant surprises are on their way. Many will be on the lookout for ideal accommodation. The professionals will earn name and fame. Time to enjoy life.

January 12

But for a brief period when living costs make a jump much above your estimate, the major part of the year is fairly normal and tension-free. It will, no doubt, appear slightly inconvenient for most of you to afford the amenities or luxuries needed for a good living. Keep a cool head and reduce professional strain. Your stars advise you not to run after luxuries. If you try to remain aloof from the crowd, you will remain happy and contended.
