YOUR horoscope
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 11, 2019:
This year you make a strong effort to communicate on a deeper level. You often sense things, or have premonitions, that become reality. Someone in your life — it could even be you — is into having power and control. Know that this behaviour will push others away. If you are single, you’ll want to claim your power but not make demands of others. You could meet the right person toward the end of the year. If you are attached, when you or your sweetie becomes controlling, you push the other person away. You cannot control others, only yourself. PISCES loves to chat with you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Be more attentive to your feelings than you typically are. You might observe someone you respect being the source of general upheaval. You might want to avoid making a judgment at the moment. See what develops. A discussion likely will ensue. Tonight: Keep your plans hush-hush.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Zero in on what is important to you. A meeting could prove to be a good source of information. You might feel the need to revise your thinking with the help of another person. Be direct in your choices. You might inadvertently delight a friend. Tonight: Out and about.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You might not be as comfortable in the limelight as you had expected to be. An associate shares more of what he or she thinks. You might take this person’s words as criticism, but know that his or her comments are simply a reflection of who he or she is. Tonight: Join a friend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Break past restrictions that seem to be coming in from out of nowhere. You might not realize that some of your actions could be in response to a respected and admired person’s comments. Walk around this person’s power play. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be pulled in by a particular person in your life. As a result, you will want to adapt your path or ideas. Make sure you’re ready for the repercussions of this type of choice. Open up a discussion to get feedback. Tonight: Have a conversation with a favourite person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Defer to others and listen to their feedback. You see someone you care about draw others in with his or her high magnetic energy. Let this person express his or her feelings or perhaps even act on them. Say little, observe a lot and watch what unfurls. Tonight: Go along with a request.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. You might feel pressured by a situation in which the other party demands to have his or her way. You will want to bypass this situation for the moment and get into a favourite pastime instead. Tonight: Relax with the moment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You could be heading in a new direction; however, you might not be sure of the outcome. You feel pressured in conversations with those involved. You likely will want to resist the inevitable, but the more you do, the more difficult the situation becomes. Tonight: Feeling frisky.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You could feel as if someone is using money to pressure you. The more
this behaviour appears, the angrier you get. Be more in tune with your long-term desires. Calm down and consider a change on some level that might clear out this hassle. Tonight: Make it an early night.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You could be beyond logic when making a demand that you refuse to back down from. You might want it to appear as though you don’t care how much chaos you are creating. Be aware that a loved one could be distancing him- or herself from you. Tonight: Tell it like it is.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your spending could be out of control. You might not like what happens if you continue to refuse to rein in your spending. Other indulgences will not pay off for you right now. Your personality emerges as you relax. Your power is obvious. Tonight: Keep an eye on your budget.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might be off thinking and considering some fun fantasy. In the here and now; however, a friend could become controlling. You will have to decide whether you want to get into a disagreement in support of your desires. Tonight: Others cannot seem to resist you.
