19 January: the reading for this birthday alone
Those born on the 19th have a light about them that people notice. Dignity at work, respect at home and people's affection all come to them with relative ease. Their will to stand on their own is strong; drop the insistence on doing everything alone and success comes sooner.
The Sun at birth: Capricorn · Uttara Ashadha. At your birth the Sun stood in Capricorn. Hard work, discipline and long-range planning are your strength; even when results come late, you know how to wait. You do not shy from responsibility. Only do not lose your own joy and family time under the weight of work.
The Sun sits in the first third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Saturn, so patience, restraint and a sense of duty run deeper. The Sun in Uttara Ashadha means the final victory is yours, even if late; honesty is your greatest capital. The Sun, the planet of your root number, and Saturn, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, do not get along well. Two different pulls work inside you; learn to manage that tension and it is what makes you versatile.
Born on 19 January, with the Sun in Capricorn: four areas of life
Career
Success comes easily in leadership, public office or work in front of people. You rise step by step in government service, administration, construction, engineering or large institutions.
Money
Income comes with honour; make use of influential people's support. Income grows slowly but lasts; long-term savings suit you best.
Love and relationships
Warm and generous in love; give your partner's opinion equal space. Reserved in showing love, you leave no gap in fulfilling your duties.
Health
Look after the heart and eyes; do not stay long in the sun. Look after the knees, bones and teeth; guard against cold and low moods.
The Sun’s sign and nakshatra are worked out from the day and month; for a birth close to the day the Sun changes sign, it can shift by a day from year to year. Check the full birth chart to be sure.
Your three-layer personality
the Sun: Inside, you are built for independence. From childhood, an order given in the wrong tone makes something in you refuse, and you find no peace unless the decision is your own.
Mars: Outside, you are hardworking and plain-spoken. The habit of saying the truth to someone's face has given you friends, and it has given you enemies too.
Root number 1 belongs to the Sun, and the Sun stands in nobody's shadow. Neither do you. Until you have built an identity of your own, in work, in business or within the family, you will not be satisfied. You decide quickly, and respect matters more to you than money. The one difficulty is that stubbornness sometimes outruns reason. Those born under this number show the same pattern again and again: the ones who learned to listen to the people close to them led for a long time, and the ones who never learned rose high and found themselves alone.
friend Inside versus outside: The inner mind and the outward behaviour support each other. You do what you think, which is why people trust you easily.
