January TWELFTH 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 see their lives as dedicated to serving others, but in fact they are drawn to excitement and adventure of all sorts, which may not include others, in a personal sense. Once they become obsessed with their calling, they follow wherever it leads them.
STRENGTHS: Professional, Inspirational, Committed
WEAKNESSES: Self-Sacrificial, Preoccupied, Unheeding
ADVICE: Pay more attention to your personal life and maintain a strong ethical code. Remember to listen to others. Beware of arrogance or condescension. Don't go off the deep end professionally. Your work is only one part of your life.
BORN ON THIS DAY: Jack London, Edmund Burke, James L. Farmer, John Singer Sargent, Howard Stern, Herman Goering, Henny Youngman, Tex Ritter, Kristie Allie;
MEDITATION: The biggest calling, perhaps, is to be true to oneself.

Meaning of the TWO of Spades:
Partnership in Work,
Karmic Challenge: Fear of Unity
TWO of Spades: The Friendship Card: The Two of Spades is the card of work partnership and friendship. Two's are also fear cards, and it is their own spiritual natures that often scare the Two of Spades. The displacement and Karma Card, the Six of Spades, speaks of karma to be paid in this life time, often in the form of work or health difficulties, while the placement of the Two of Spades in the Natural Spread at the Uranus/Uranus position tells us that they have strong institutional gifts. The double sixes in the Venus and Mars positions tell us that the Two of Spades often get into ruts in their family lives and work sphere. When they fight this monotony, there can be frustration. They have strong mental powers and strong intuitive powers and both of these can make them money. They are very congenial and have success in social situations but their Three of Hearts Pluto Card speaks of some indecision both romantically and in general that can plague them throughout their life. Overall they have an easier life path than most and should not let themselves let that ease turn to self-indulgence. Often they marry into money.
Your Karma Cards are the: 
Six of Spades - You owe something to this person and they reflect you in some way. 
King of Clubs - This person owes you and you are their mirror in some way.

TWO of Spades people are quick thinkers, sociable, and very direct. They are also hard workers, but can be even harder to work with. Those born with the Two of Spades as their birthday card tend to do well with property, and investments in minerals or products of the earth. They are also savvy with new technology, and have a flair for the performing arts. The 2 of Spades will often look for some kind of diversion in the form of gambling or risk taking. However, when it comes to love, they are only interested in meaningful or long term relationships. Mental rapport is high on their list requirements, and their straightforward charm and forthright demeanor almost always get them where they want to go. http://www.metasymbology.com/
CAPRICORN III - The Week of DOMINANCE - January 10-16: Many Capricorn III's find it unnecessary to rise to the top of their field, or even to lead, as long as they can express their dominance within the day-to-day dynamic of their family, work or social group. Although ambitious types may well be born in this week, Capricorn III's often reach a certain level in their particular circle and are content to stay there for the rest of their lives. They have tremendous diligence and dedication, which enable them to stick to the path they have set for themselves without being sidetracked.
Strengths: PROFESSIONAL - SURMOUNTING - MAINTAINING
Weaknesses: UNHEEDING - OUTRAGEOUS - SELF-SACRIFICING
Advice: Don't be afraid to take chances. If you do not dare to fail you may not achieve your true heart's desire. Your insistence on security may be misplaced at times. Try to be more flexible where the feelings of others are concerned. Don't assume that your values have absolute or universal application.
