JANUARY 18

Psychic tendencies are not so common in Capricorn people. Theirs is usually a logical, tough mind, unreceptive to this otherwordly talent. January 18 is the exception. They get psychic flashes from early childhood. Coincidences are continuous. They sense what a friend or even stranger is going to do next. Most of us experience thinking of a person only to find that they are on the telephone. For January 18, this experience is so frequent they are almost never surprised.

It's a delicate talent to nurture. Some may find it frightening if they are prey to foreboding, but most of January 18's ‘flashes' are positive. Many racing enthusiasts born on this day, whether it be horses, dogs or cars, find their ‘hunch’ bets keep them in pin money at least and sometimes phenomenal cash windfalls. Naturally friends watch them closely.

Some of the psychic supernova's capacity is born of a psycheological capacity for observation of surroundings and people. They read the signs. Of course, nobody knows for sure exactly where some of the ‘messages' may lead. Always open to interpretation, they nevertheless give January 18 a head start.

In any kind of work they can almost smell a bad deal and a bad person. Colleagues and bosses watch January 18 closely and always take note. That they do well in the police force or investigative work goes without saying. But you can find them flourishing in any industry which requires that you're spot on about what's happening.

In private January 18 uses her capacity to listen to her heart, so she's lucky in love, avoids danger and silly harmful people and usually knows when she's going to get pregnant before there's been anything physical. They know if they are pregnant the moment they've made love. They pick up immediately if they have met the love of their life. They know if a place is lucky for them. And they can ‘see' the dangers that lie ahead for any of their offspring.

What is a forum? A two-um, plus two-um.

BODY

Everybody wants January 18 to read their fortune, spot a ghost and generally show off their psychic talent, but this responsible creature takes his gift seriously. Both sexes are, however, extremely aware of their own aura and the colour of those surrounding other people. If they see unhappiness or ill health in others they try to help. Psychics describe the aura as rainbow coloured, ovoid shaped and radiating two or more feet around the body. Muddy colours indicate negativity. Many January 18s have healing hands and can bring better balance to others with a gentle touch. Juniper oil rubbed on the forearms is also a psychic cleanser.

MIND

Youthful marriages for January 18 are often a mistake. Successful love comes with maturity. Best long-term, harmonious partners are likely to be born between April 21 and May 21, or August 21 and September 21.
