January Zodiac Signs
People born in January are either Capricorn or Aquarius. January birthday babies whose dates fall between January 1 and 20 are under the Capricorn Zodiac. The ones whose dates are from 20 till the end of the month share the Aquarius Zodiac.
To help you understand the January horoscope, we have written everything you need to know about the Capricorn zodiac sign in this article, which includes its compatibility with other Zodiac signs. However, it is important that you get little information about this sign while you are still here.
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign that is ruled by the planet, Saturn. The Capricorn symbol is represented by a Sea-Goat — a half-goat, half-fish symbol which reflects the complicated dual personality of Capricorns. What this means is that Capricorns can be ambitious, determined, and hardworking, while being pessimistic about almost everything.
Aquarius, on the other hand, is a fixed air sign that is ruled by the planet, Uranus. The planet that governs innovation and technology. Uranus perfectly mirrors Aquarius’ distinctive attitude, complementing the nontraditional nature of these visionary air signs. The Aquarius symbol is represented by the Water Bearer, a mystical being who pours water onto earth to nourish it.
Together, these two Zodiacs make great leaders and super-intelligent people. We are going to look at their shared personalities to better understand their collective contribution to making January one of the coolest birthday months.
January Born Personality
January is a chilly month, therefore, people born in this month are usually cool and relaxed. A new study has shown that people born in the winter months are less irritable and less prone to mood swings than people born in other seasons.
January kids have a great sense of humor. They are usually the comedian of the squad with an innate ability to make the atmosphere thick with laughter and happiness. They don’t sit around waiting for anyone to lead conversations, they take the floor and talk until they wear themselves out. You may struggle a bit for a turn in the conversation because once these kids start talking, there is barely any opportunity for anyone to chip in. You just sit and listen. Don’t you worry, they would never bore you out.
January Birthday Traits
January-borns are all about goals and ambition. They aim high and want to be the best in everything they do. We can best capture the January traits by looking at the leaders of the flock — Capricorns. Capricorns are extremely resourceful individuals, with practical minds that drive them to success. They are notoriously known as the workaholics of the zodiac.
When we look at Aquarius, we are quickly drawn by their egalitarian spirit. When it comes to working with teams to make a huge impact in the world, you can count the water bearers in.
With two of the most hardworking signs of the zodiac under this month, January holds quite a talent. These babies are very sharp-witted and possess everything that can make them stars.
Positive January Traits
January-born babies will grow to become great problem solvers who like to think ahead because they possess powerful and analytical minds that let them approach tasks and problems intelligently and logically. January folks like to work independently sometimes; they will prioritize their alone time over anything because they certainly won’t solve problems by talking and making jokes. They also need some time off to think and recharge.
January peeps face their challenges head-on. They believe in themselves and in their ability to crush whatever they set their minds to, therefore they are more likely to be the last man standing in the face of difficulty. This is one of the many qualities that make them great leaders. They can thrive in fast-paced environments and possess the ability to generate innovative ideas that can change the world.
Negative January Traits
Your January friend may remember their responsibilities in the middle of a flowy conversation and dismiss you right there without thinking twice or feeling bad about it. They don’t joke about whatever they have to get done, and might even choose their work over their friends and family.
They can be mean and condescending at times, thinking of their opinions and ideas as superior to everyone else’s. This can make the people around them feel undervalued and unappreciated.
January peeps may have problems expressing their emotions. It’s not that they don’t feel at all; they, in fact, feel deeply but would rather bottle them all in because they find it hard to talk about them.
