Dominick-chan: Hey y'all! So, because I'm a loser and a nerd, I figured I would post this little information booklet on the characters of Naruto's birthdays, starting in order! Won't that be fun?? Along with their birthdays, I will also post their astrology signs and what they mean. Deal?? Have fun!
Disclaimer: The information taken is from a book I own called 'The Secret Language of Birthdays' written by Gary Goldshneider and Joost Elffers. The characters of Naruto belong to Masashi, Kishimoto.
CHAPTER I:
HAKU: JANUARY 9: CAPRICORN II: CARDINAL EARTH
January Ninth: The Day of Ambition
The tough, hard-driving people born on this day are highly ambitious, not only for themselves, but for their family members as well. They want to reach the top and be the best, and are capable of devoting all or most of their energies year after year to that end. Their willpower is not to be underestimated and those born on this day are capable of applying great pressure to bend others to that will. Further more, they have a knack for recognizing opportunities and rarely if ever miss a chance to better their situation.
Yet, those born on this day are capable of making weighty mistakes and miscalculations as well. Loss, defeat and setbacks of all kinds dot the landscapes of their lives. Fortunately, their resiliency and sense of purpose is such that they can almost always snap back. It is extremely difficult to defeat them or force them to surrender. They highly value personal initiative, personal responsibility and personal freedom. Because of this, they may at times lose sight of more social or unibersal goals, and perhaps fail to understand or appreciate how the group-oriented mind thinks as well. Moreover, for many born on this day, learning to treat people as ends in themselves rather than means to an end will take them farther in the long run. Cultivating, perhaps less dynamic, but more human, values such as kindness, understanding and acceptance is crucial to their growth and indeed their ultimate success.
So oriented are January 9 people toward struggles and challenge, that they rarely wish to rest on their achievements or retire to a life of happiness and contentment. They tentd to be workaholics who commit themselves to their tasks one hundred percent and therefore can find it difficult to relax at the end of the day. Having a partner, friend or family member who can help them in this direction is of the utmost importance, as those born on this day are in great need of laughter and good times too.
January 9 people do not react well to being opposed to their endeavors. A quite ruthless side of their personality can emerge in such situations. Battlers, they use whatever weapons are at their disposal to overcome their adversaries, and fully expect the same in return. However, learning to view events in less black and white terms, and to recognize that present rivals can be future helpmates and friends ultimately widens their understanding and strengthens their position in the world.
NUMBERS AND PLANETS:
Those born on the 9th are ruled by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers and January 9 people are similarly influential. The planet Mars is foreceful and aggressive, embodying male energy, but for January 9 people, its influence can by coloured by Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, which here grants seriousness of purpose, but also potentially manipulative tendencies.
TAROT:
The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who is usually depicted walking with a lantern and a stick; he represents meditation, isolation and quietude. The card also signifies crystallized wisdome and ultimate discipline. The Hermit is a taskmaster who motivates by conscience and guides others on their path. The positive side to this card is stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity and concentration; negative qualities include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement.
HEALTH:
Those born to this day can suffer common side-effects of stress: headaches, anxiety, muscle tension, lowered resistance to infections and problems with sleep. Learning to relax and allow themselves fun is crucial to their maintaining good health. An exciting, vibrant diet with lots of appetizing recipes is recommended to keep them looking forward to the zestful enjoyment of good meals. Minor exercise is also recommended for January 9th people, along with periods of rest, including afternoon naps. They must also pay particular attention to the effects of stress on their bones and teeth, as well as making sure they get proper dosages of supplementary vitamins and minerals.
