You are ambitious, studious, and original and have fine executive ability. You have self-respect and great personal charm. You are generous and affectionate and would make any sacrifice for your loved ones.
JANUARY 2
Your love of family is your strongest characteristic and your greatest charm. Your very devotion and earnestness to succeed for them will help you gain your success. With your generous and happy nature, you will win loyal, true, and devoted friends.
JANUARY 3
You are too apt to procrastinate and should practice diligence and perseverance, because you are capable of greater things. You are friendly and enjoy meeting new people, and you have a strong personality. The friends you make are lasting ones.
JANUARY 4
Yours is an energetic nature. You like to be doing things and seeing them well done. You have a faculty for making money, are shrewd, and have a good business ability. Those to whom you give your confidence will prove constant.
JANUARY 5
You are exceedingly honest, kind hearted, loving, and fond of children. You adapt yourself readily but should curb your tendency to criticize others. Your love is deep, and your home is dear to you.
JANUARY 6
You are impulsive; your actions are sometimes misunderstood and the motives misinterpreted. You think and act quickly and not always with good judgment. Cultivate poise and self-restraint, or your passions will lead you into serious difficulties even though your intentions are of the best.
JANUARY 7
Restrain your inclination to be exacting and domineering and learn to control your temper. You think a great deal of the opinion of others and strive to make a good impression. Marry young and choose a mate with sufficient character to stimulate your desire to be always at your best.
JANUARY 8
You are self-reliant, cautious, shrewd, dependable, and, being intuitive, can easily detect deception in others. You love music, art, and outdoor sports. You will always enjoy excellent health and should live to a ripe old age.
JANUARY 9
You have a frank, energetic, and progressive nature and have faith in the good performed by others. Those born on this day achieve their greatest success by adhering to the belief that they themselves are the masters of their success.
JANUARY 10
You are a natural leader and a good quick thinker. You would be successful in any commercial enterprise. Cultivate poise and do not be self-conscious or lacking in self-esteem. You attract the opposite sex and are unusually popular among your friends. Your love is true and loyal.
JANAURY 11
You are kind, loyal, and winsome, but secretive. Once you become a friend, it is for all time, but, in your fidelity, you are apt to overlook serious faults in these friendships. You will find success in business, politics, or teaching. You will make a happy and congenial marriage.
JANUARY 12
Your originality in everything you do, will, if cultivated, bring you happiness and remuneration. Your children will be mechanically inclined or artistic. You are naturally robust and strong, and, if you take care of yourself, you will never have any serious illness.
JANUARY 13
You are unusually energetic, independent, ambitious, and persevering. Unless they work for themselves, people of this nature gain nothing when tied to others. By gaining poise and control of your temper, you will be happier and more successful in your business and social life.
JANUARY 14
Never be satisfied with second best. Yours is the ability to do big things, and you are not easily discouraged. You have a sympathetic heart and concern yourself with the misfortunes of others. You are understanding and will make a loving parent, enjoy an ideal marriage, and have a happy home life.
JANUARY 15
You are very original, shrewd, and keen of mind. If you are a housewife, you are a good manager, a careful buyer, and diplomatic. If you go into business, it should be your own. You should curb your tendency toward brusqueness with subordinates and learn to encourage friendships.
JANUARY 16
You have courage, ambition, and singleness of purpose. You are sincere and just and should marry young. Do not try to analyze the motives and emotions of your love, and you will be sure of great happiness.
