You have an overbearing personality and in your quest to achieve success you may become oblivious to some of your dangerous ideas and aggressive manner that make you unpopular at times.

You must restrain your emotional nature. On a more positive note: as you go through your stormy life, your intense nature may actually help you earn money through contests, arguments or litigation.

If you can slow down a little and not react strongly to everything and everybody around you, life can become so much more enjoyable.

Say yes to: Loyalty, fairness, tact

They love food and may enjoy making gourmet meals to showcase their culinary talents and nutritional sense.

Career & Finances
January 18 natives are among the most career-oriented individuals of the yearly cycle.

Although realizing that making a lot of money doesn't necessarily indicate success, they are concerned with the luxuries of life.

Dreams & Goals
January 18 people live for plans. Goals are the apex of their life, and even after the goals have been reached, new goals are likely to be set. Although it may seem that they are always in the right place at the right time for success, their preparation and hard work has a lot to do with the good things that come their way.
