Being a Capricorn born on January 3rd, your social and hardworking nature defines your personality. While others may prefer solitude, you are most engaged in a social setting, where you can impress others with your charming and witty personality. You put great effort into showing attention to others and subsequently, you have acquired many friends throughout your life. Your dedication to friendship is met by an equally hardworking attitude in all aspects of your life. On more than one occasion, you have inspired others with your "never say quit" approach to obstacles.

Your sign's paired element is Earth and in fact, of all 12 zodiac signs, you have the only cardinal relationship with the element. Your fundamental connection with makes you a self-starter and active in your pursuits. More importantly, your connection with Earth insures that your goals and aspirations are rooted in a realistic world view.

These prudent earthly qualities can become one of your most valuable assets, as long as you avoid the detrimental quality of over-cautiousness that is associated with your elemental pairing.

The Capricorn's planetary ruler is Saturn, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you also receive a generous dose of Venus's mysterious planetary influence.

More so than any of the other Capricorn Decans, your unique planetary influences make you social and adaptable. You excel in any situation that requires creativity and you bring your hardworking nature into all that you do. In love, you display the same attentive, devoted and determined qualities. Once you have found a mate you deem worthy, you will work tirelessly to cultivate a long-lasting, affectionate relationship. You may be a bit pessimistic at times, so look to help from your loved ones to improve your positivity.

In whichever career you choose, display the same resilience and commitment to success as Eli Manning, another of your celebrity birthday twins.
