The Day Of The Emotional Organizer
January 1 people are authoritarian, like organization and structure, and must give the orders both at home and work. They are often studious and value education greatly. Moreover, they stick to their convictions. When it comes to realizing their ambitions, however, the principles of January 1 people sometimes get in their way. Although they wish to scale the heights they are perhaps too honest, too loyal and too honourable to do so. In valuing structure so highly they often are hemmed in by their own orthodoxy when going by the book. Moreover, their frustration threshold is low and it's here that their underlying, highly charged emotional nature is most fully revealed.
Many elements of the January 1 personality are not only complex but seem contradictory. For example, those born on this day are highly responsibleâyet often take on more responsibilities than they can handle. They are emotionalâyet can get so bottled up with their emotions that they are unable to express them. They may be liberal in their outlookâyet will come across as conservative, even reactionary. Above all they undergo tremendous inner struggles in which they can be beset by forces seemingly beyond their control.
It is extremely important career-wise for January 1 people to sit down at some point in their lives and seriously ask themselves just how high they plan on rising in their chosen field. Then after making a complete accounting of their strengths and weaknesses they should come to a realistic appraisal of their chances for success and set goals accordingly. Long-term and short-term goals should be clearly delineated, timetables set and kept to, if possible. Should January 1 people decide to go for the top, they must be absolutely sure that they have enough stress resistance, patience and emotional control to get there.
A disadvantage for most January 1 people is their extreme sensitivity, which can make them impatient and difficult when working as a subordinate. When interacting with friends or directing others, particularly as a teacher, those born on this day can be charming, well-liked and effective. However, if their career plans involve climbing the corporate ladder or operating in a highly competitive and unsympathetic arena, they must truly toughen their skin and in that process grow a whole new set of buttons which few can push. If they do so, their efforts will not be so readily undermined by their emotional reactions.
Above all. it is important for January 1 people not to drive themselves and those around them too hard or too fast. They must be particularly careful that their high expectations do not inevitably end in deep disappointments. Although they consider themselves practical and pragmatic, they must come to accept that they too have romantic dreams and an accompanying need to satisfy them. Thus a realistic self-image consonant with their emotional depth and complexity will be key to their happiness and success.

Advice
Those born on January 1 are apt to suffer from hidden fears and anxieties. To keep themselves from feeling alternately nervous and depressed they may find it helpful to seek psychological advice or therapy. Physically, those born on this day must be careful about eliminative problems such as constipation (which can be helped by high-fiber foods), and watch their diets both as to quantity and quality. (They are particularly prone to stress related disease, particularly cardiovascular, and should eliminate smoking if possible.) Reducing sugar, unbleached white flour and animal fat in their diet is essential for their good health. January 1 people should keep active, and engage in regular, but moderate, physical exercise. Walking and swimming are recommended.
Don't send mixed signals
Be sure of what you want before you express your wishes
Share your emotionsâdon't get bottled up inside
Lasting security is usually an illusion
Hello! I hope this resonated with you and thank you for your patience with the slow posting and such. I just wanted to mention that my favorite Swedish artist 'Ant Wan' was actually born on this day which in general is quite a cool day to be born <3
