The Day Of The Wild Call
Those born on January 12 are inevitably drawn toward an all-involving professional life. Their career or life interest usually exerts its hold on them in their twenties and they are capable of sacrificing a great deal for it, particularly in terms of personal, inward growth.
They may see their lives as dedicated to serving others, but in fact they are drawn to excitement and adventure of all sorts, which may or may not include others, in a personal sense. Once they become obsessed with their calling, they follow wherever it leads them. Because their career holds such a central place in their lives, January 12 people must choose their work carefully and avoid being detoured into experiences hurtful to themselves and others. Maintaining a strict set of ethical principles, consonant with traditional human values, is vitally important in this respect. Both self-sacrificing impulses on the one hand, and egotistical power drives on the other, must be monitored closely lest they get out of control. Many born on this day are very prone to identifying themselves with a cause, often social or political in nature, for which they are willing to give up a large measure of their personal identity. On the other hand, some January 12 people can be completely absorbed in themselves, when it is their own personality or image which is crucial to the success of their professional plans—for instance when selling a product, or in particular promoting their own free-lance services: PR, advertising, acting and skills of this sort.
January 12 people are most often lively, even garrulous. They must be careful that they do not give the impression of being arrogant as well, for this inevitably turns others off. In some situations, they will be more successful with a low-key approach and a heightened sensitivity to the needs of others. However, January 12 people are so often carried away by their own ideas that they do not heed warnings or advice. When involved in a losing proposition, they are liable to hang on until the bitter end, rather than attempting to change direction. Indeed, if their projects should fall through they are liable to take such setbacks very hard.
It seems that the professions (or all-absorbing hobbies) to which January 12 people are drawn are often unusual ones, to say the least. For this reason successful people born on this day can come to be regarded as brilliant and unusual, but also a bit strange. In a way, the customary rewards of a settled life seem denied to them. Yet if they meet the right person, often a more conservative or apparently unremarkable individual (but possessed of calm and moderation), those born on this day may find a lasting kind of happiness.

Self sacrificial

Advice
Those born on January 12 are likely to ignore their health (unless it is directly related to their principal activities). Therefore, regular six-month or yearly checkups are advised. Dental problems may surface rather quickly. Hormonal imbalances as well as postural problems, the extremes of overweight or weight loss, and bothersome skin conditions involving allergies, seborrhea and minor irritations can plague them. Adopting a stable lifestyle and a more regular approach to health matters helps greatly. A balanced diet, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, grains and restriction of animal fat as well as sugar intake can also make a positive contribution. Only moderate physical exercise is recommended, particularly long walks in the open air.
Pay more attention to your personal life and maintain a strong ethical code

Don't go off the deep end professionally
Your work is only one part of your life
