January birthdays

January 10 zodiac sign

By Maren Tremblay, Fatesight editor · Last updated October 30, 2026

January 10 is Capricorn: at noon UTC on this date from 1950 to 2010, the Sun stood between 19°11' Capricorn and 20°22' Capricorn, on the line between the second and third decans, with the constellation Sagittarius behind it.

What these decans are read as

The second decan of Capricorn is read as carrying a touch of Taurus and Venus. The ambition learns to enjoy itself. These Capricorns tend to want the good things their work pays for, to show love through what they provide and to stay loyal to people who have earned it.

The third decan of Capricorn is read as carrying a touch of Virgo and Mercury. It is the Capricorn who reads the small print. People here tend to plan in detail, to show love through remembering exactly what you said, and to be most at ease when the job is complicated and theirs alone.

What the number 1 adds

Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 1 as the mark of someone who starts things. It tends to mean a strong preference for your own way of doing a job, and for a partner who won't try to run you.
