YOUR horoscope
For Friday, Jan. 12, 2018: ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You have a lively, energetic personality, and you don’t like to play it safe. Get down to the basics, and allow a close friend or loved one to have more say on an important decision. Be careful about how you choose to react and/or respond.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You sense that others need more control than they have right now. Allow those around you to express their desires. What might have been an easy choice for you could be difficult for someone else. Remember, you carry a lot of responsibility.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Reach out to others. You might not be able to see a loved one taking a stand, so you will instead. As a result, you’ll take off and start handling a problem. Others seem grateful that you take charge with the style and endurance that you do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You have your hands full and a lot of ground to cover. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a friend who could be too adventurous for his or her own good. Rather than verbalize a judgement, let this person make his or her own discovery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You could be exhausted by life’s demands. Others seek you out to join them. Consider spending only a few minutes out and about, and support yourself in saying “no.” Make it OK to honor a different set of plans, even if it is just heading home.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might want to make choices that are less costly, or come up with plans that don’t make you so uptight about the costs of what you are doing. Remember, the company is what counts, not how much you spend.

Know when to take a backseat and head in a new direction. Your sense of humor comes out with a certain amount of detachment. Take a step back and distance yourself in order to gain some perspective.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You could be exhausted by everything that is going on around you. Friends and meetings, both planned and spontaneous, could occupy most of your day. You might have a conversation with a friend who causes you to re-evaluate the friendship.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your feelings do count, even to someone who is a superior in some way. People close to you have started to recognize that your hunches are more reliable than those of others. Examine what is going on with a loved one. Maintain a sense of humor.
