January 17

**January 17** is the 17th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. It's not affected by leap years.

Those born on **January 17** are among the most energetically direct individuals on the calendar. To a large extent, this is because they tend to have a very clear goal, a firm idea of ​​what they want to achieve at any given moment. They are also able to effectively assess their chances of success based on past experience and the difficulties that lie ahead.

They learn from an early age what makes a human being vibrate. They understand the importance of motivation, that it is needs that drive people to move and that they often determine how they react to a given situation (needs created by basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, etc. .). Most people born on this day also realize early on that people who control themselves, who practice self-discipline, are the ones who succeed in life.

The most evolved of those born on this day are not disconnected from their impulses and desires, and are able to repeatedly inspire themselves to rise to the challenges of life. The less evolved concentrate on how to control their environment without first knowing themselves, and can become true masters of manipulation (less a covert manipulation than a direct use of others).

Whether they are corpulent or not, those born on January 17 have an imposing presence and tend to dominate most situations. Due to the fact that, as has already been mentioned, they tend to have very well defined objectives and dominate themselves so well (at least externally), others feel somewhat intimidated. Those born on this day do not ask permission to be as they are. They tend to shed the inhibitions that keep most people from expressing their talent and the more dynamic part of their nature. In fact, these individuals are more likely to be concerned with personal achievement and are often strong advocates of individual rights. Because of this, they are rarely good team players and usually work better alone.

Not surprisingly, the greatest danger for them is disconnecting from the feelings, concerns and philosophy of others. Since they never agree to change their plans, they can push their partners, collaborators and even friends into an antagonistic position with theirs. They can also cause less powerful people (who don't feel able to openly compete with them) to harbor grudges and wait for their chance to get even. That is why it is crucial that those born on this day put down roots in a social context, while strengthening their family and friendship ties. Above all, they should not isolate themselves or force those around them to adopt static or unwanted roles.

**NUMBERS AND PLANETS**

Those born on the seventeenth day of the month are ruled by the number 8 (1+7 = 8) and by the planet Saturn. Saturn confers a strong feeling of limitation and restriction, in addition to determining an excessively critical facet. These characteristics are more pronounced in those born on January 17 because Saturn is the ruler of their Capricorn sign. Therefore, those born on this day must be careful not to unduly emphasize the physical side of life, being overly authoritarian and ambitious. The number 8 carries a conflict between the material world and the spiritual world.

**TAROT**

The seventeenth card of the Major Arcana is The Star, which shows a beautiful naked young woman under the stars throwing water onto dry land with a pitcher and stirring stagnant water from a lake with her other hand. It represents the wonders of earthly life, but also the material bondage to it. The stars are an eternal reminder of the spiritual world. Therefore, those born on January 17 should avoid worrying only about the physical plane forgetting higher goals.
