HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Jan. 6, 2018:

This year you often make the correct choices. Your communication skills have developed to a new level, where you can deliver bad news and no one even seems to realize it. You might have a tendency to have too much energy and pick fights. If you are single, you know when you are wanted. You are likely to have many potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you often want to head in a new direction, though you might disagree about which way to go. Learn to experiment more and be less rigid. VIRGO could be very critical of your choices.
