Your Birthday

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2018

Good fortune is the result of making positive choices. Make this year one to remember by displaying intelligence, discipline and the willingness to step up and get things done. If you act selflessly, you will be remembered and rewarded for your kindness, generosity and contributions.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An innovative idea can give a presentation some needed pizazz. Welcome input and be ready to collaborate with people just as eager to try something new.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Trusting someone with your money or possessions will lead to disappointment. Do your research and be willing to walk away from a deal that poses many unanswered questions.

(Feb. 20-March 20) — Take care of personal money matters and documents that need to be dealt with before tax time. Being fully prepared will lead to savings and greater opportunities.

(March 21-April 19) — Don’t accept help unless you know what’s expected of you in return. Someone will have a change of heart and let you down. Get the skinny before you make a commitment.

AQUARIUS PISCES ARIES TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) — Partnerships will work well for you. Collaborate with someone to come up with a plan that can help you advance. Control your emotions when dealing with personal matters.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) — Personal improvements will build your confidence and give you a greater sense of what you have to offer. Love and romance will change how or where you live.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) — Intelligence will be required when dealing with personal money, health or legal matters. Take a pass if someone urges you to take a shortcut or to let someone else handle your affairs.

(July 23-Aug. 22) — Emotions will surface if you can’t come to terms with what others want. Don’t be afraid to do your own thing, cut your overhead and lower stress.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An energetic schedule will be illuminating. Try new things and challenge your strength, courage and discipline. Stay focused and you will make a difference. Romance is encouraged.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Take on a physical challenge and re-evaluate your feelings and domestic situation. A change may be necessary, but first you must come up with a strategy.

(Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t let an emotional response you receive deter you from following your heart. You must live life your way if you want to find peace and happiness.

(Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep your thoughts secret. Saying or revealing something prematurely will put you in an awkward position. Speak the truth or say nothing at all.
