The years the Sun changed sign on January 19

The Sun moved from one sign to the next on this date in 2 of the 61 years. If you were born on one of these days, your birth time decides your sign: 2005 at 23:21 UTC, into Aquarius and 2009 at 22:40 UTC, into Aquarius.

What the third decan of Capricorn is read as

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.
