January 18th Horoscope
Such a strong masculine force of Sun and Mars combined only to create the Sun in the end, speak of strong ego issues that must be metabolized. Personality is in a way broken and needs to change, growing through strong and empowering boundaries to the outer world. These individuals must show initiative and strength, and they will often see life as unjust and uncaring, and this world being a rough place in which they were brought to fight for their rights every day. This can create quite a difficult personality that isn’t easy to be with, live with, or work with if the Sun and this person's relationship with their father isn’t healthy.
