Personality Traits & Characteristics of Famous People Born on January 31st

Personality
The natives of this birthdate have dual personalities. They have the ability to mesmerize people with their talents and at the same time have the ability to hurt others with their sharp ego. Ruled by the planet of Uranus, these individuals are intelligent, get easily repelled by non-intellectual crowds, are crowd-pullers and enjoy a holistic lifestyle. Their bright spirit attracts hordes of people around them and they easily create a mutually compassionate bond with people they care about. However, the flipside to these personalities is that they find it difficult to take a stand in life.

Health
People born on this birth date usually suffer from stress-related problems and fatigue due to their quick-paced, exciting lifestyle. Their physical and mental health are outstandingly in concurrence to their emotions and they are thus, more equipped to cope with illnesses than their other counterparts. These people need to have a balanced diet and rest adequately for an enriching life.

Finance
The people born on this day are good with finances but prefer for others to manage it for them rather than themselves. They are also better off at handling other people’s finances than their own. These people are good at saving but find it very difficult to resist spending when they have a good offer at hand.

Career

The most lucrative careers for these individuals can be found in the entertainment industry or they even do well as counsellors.

Relationships, Marriage & Children
Unlike their other counterparts, these Aquarians are not very affected if they do not find the loves of their lives easily and are not too particular about commitment. However, if they do get into a committed relationship, they are viciously passionate and listen to their instincts more than their ‘heart’ in a relationship. They constantly seek a ‘best friend’ in a partner and look for people who can complete them. As parents, they give their children their own space and time to become what they want to become in life and are not very fussy about their upbringing.
