BORN IN JANUARY: THE ZODIAC SIGN OF THE MONTH AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

The horoscope seeks to identify our nearest future, especially in terms of love, work and health. Astrology, on the other hand, studies the attitude, interests and affinities in relationships of each person. Both are based on theories concerning the influence of the stars and zodiac signs on our life.

Today we will find out what is the zodiac sign of January - or rather, the signs of this month - with their strengths, defects and main characteristics.

Each month its zodiac sign

Before seeing specifically the two signs of January, let's review the "calendar" of the Zodiac according to the day and month. Everyone's main zodiac sign is the one who was in the position of the Sun at the time of their birth. The Sun, in fact, according to astrology and horoscope, determines your deepest self, your identity and is the essence of who you really are.

Aries: March 21 - April 20
Taurus: April 21 - May 20
Gemini: May 21 - June 21
Cancer: June 22 - July 22
Leo: July 23 - August 23
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Libra: September 23 - October 22
Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21
Capricorn: December 22 - January 20
Aquarius: January 21 - February 19
Pisces: February 20 - March 20

Unlike the main sign, that is in the position of the Sun, the ascendant is the zodiac sign that was rising, at the exact moment of birth. To be calculated it requires a bit more precise information, because it is also based on your year and hours. precise of your birth.

The astrological sign of Capricorn

The first sign of January is Capricorn. Anyone born from December 22 to January 20 is directly affected. After Taurus and Virgo, Capricorn is the third and last of the signs of Earth and is directly influenced by the planet Saturn, a symbol of logic and reasoning. It is considered a cardinal sign, because it begins its influence between December and January, or at the beginnings of the winter season.

Compared to Sagittarius, a sign that precedes him in the zodiacal order, Capricorn is thoughtful and prudent, endowed with a truly remarkable perseverance and determination like one of his Earth "brothers", Taurus. A native of Capricorn never gives himself. for defeat and applies day after day to achieve his goals. Towards others, he is initially closed and reserved. It is not easy to enter his circle of friendships because he tends to show a detached facade. However, once his trust is gained, he turns out to be a loving and loyal friend.

On the other hand, however, like all Earth signs, he risks being too materialistic and stubborn. As happens for Taurus but also for Leo and Sagittarius, making him change his mind is a real undertaking. it often leads to excessively close to the outside world and to present a certain pessimism that can distance him from other people.

Capricorn in love

Just like Taurus and Virgo or the Water signs of Cancer and Pisces, in Capricorn there is a strong attachment to family and friends. As we have mentioned, however, it is not easy to conquer a native of this sign. In fact, you must have the patience and being able to break down his initial barriers to give him the opportunity to trust completely and to open up spontaneously.The detachment and confidentiality of these people are explained by their innate fear of suffering and losing a loved one.

Once this block is overcome, the Capricorn partner is thoughtful and attentive, always ready to help or fulfill any request from the partner. Unlike what one might think, he is also very affectionate and passionate. His cornerstones for a relationship are certainly loyalty and fidelity: if he is betrayed, he does not forgive. When his trust is lost, it is forever.

In terms of compatibility with other signs according to astrology and horoscope, a born Capricorn gets along very well with his Earth "brothers" and with the Water signs. These bonds can easily turn into love relationships especially with its opposite sign, Pisces, and Cancer. Instead, there is a complex situation with the signs of Air and Fire. In both cases, Capricorn can be stimulated by these signs, especially by Sagittarius and Virgo. However, in terms of love and stable relationships there are complications due to their independent spirit in contrast to the security needs of the Earth sign. These difficulties are found especially with Aries, Leo and Aquarius.

The zodiac sign of Aquarius

The second sign of the month of January is "Aquarius and all those born between January 21 and February 19 are part of it. After Gemini and Libra, Aquarius closes the sequence of the signs of" Air. Its Air is cold and wintry , symbol of the cold wind of late January and mid-February necessary to bring back spring. Furthermore, it is directly influenced by the planet Uranus, symbol of the unexpected and of movement.

Aquarius are a concentrate of ideas and originality. In fact, they are known for their intelligence and imagination, as well as being avant-garde par excellence. They hate conforming to normality and fashions, because they prefer to anticipate them or invent new ones. They are idealistic, curious and attracted to everything new, which is why they love to travel and discover countries and cultures different from their own. Of a shy and reserved nature, an Aquarius can however prove to be likeable, very sociable and a lover of company. However, it is not easy to get involved in his friendships. When you do, you will always have an attentive, caring and unselfish friend ... in short, perfect!

Obviously, there are also flaws for this sign. First of all, the innate freedom that distinguishes him leads him to be intolerant towards too oppressive or close ties, but, for his part, he is the first to be very jealous towards his partner. Moreover, they turn out to be touchy just like Gemini, and also short-tempered in moments of anger.

The "Aquarius in love

In the case of relationships, Aquarius is very different from the other January sign, Capricorn. We have seen how he tends to forge great friendships, to which he dedicates himself with body and soul day after day and for which he is present at all hours. However, the situation changes when it comes to love relationships. The love life is not his main concern because it is neither emotional nor very sensual, since intellectual activity dominates in him.

Therefore, those born between January and February prefer short adventures to serious and lasting stories especially in the early stages of their life. They fear losing their freedom by bonding excessively with their partner, unless they really fall in love: in that case, they will love with all of themselves and suffer a lot if that relationship ends badly. he proves to be a very good parent because he adores children.In general, he needs a partner who does not make him feel oppressed but at the same time does not allow him too much freedom.

In terms of affinity with the other signs, there is a certain compatibility with those of Fire, especially with Aries and Leo, and the others of Air, that is Libra and Gemini, with whom he shares his light-heartedness and artistic flair. Creativity and the tendency to art mean that the mentality of Water signs like Cancer and Pisces goes well, but there are difficulties in establishing more solid bonds. Even more complicated is the situation with the signs of Earth. , with which love is practically impossible due to opposing views on the theme of love.

Curiosities about the Chinese Zodiac

For those interested not only in western horoscope and astrology, but also in eastern zodiacal studies, we must say that discovering your sign is not so simple. In fact, the Chinese Zodiac has a different structure from ours and does not subdivide the various signs following the order of the months, but according to the year. Furthermore, ours takes into account the four natural elements, Fire, Earth, Air and Water, which the Chinese horoscope does not do.

The Chinese zodiac year normally begins between January and February, without the date always remaining the same because it varies according to the lunar cycles. Furthermore, their order within the horoscope is not at all random. It is determined by the principle of alternation. of Yin and Yang, based on the number of fingers and legs of animals. If the number is even, then the animal belongs to Yang, if, on the other hand, it is odd it belongs to Yin. The animals of the Chinese zodiac are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

At the level of nature, Ox and Dog remind us of our Capricorn, while Scimma and Gallo the Aquarius.

Those born between January and February will have to pay close attention since, as already mentioned, the beginning and the end of the solar years in China do not coincide with those of our tradition.
