HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,

Jan. 5, 2018: This year you are more fastidious than usual. You also have the ability to detach and see the big picture. Sometimes you feel dragged down, or as if you are carrying a weight on your shoulders. You frequently express your innovative and creative side. If you are single, you could meet someone quite exotic. Try to ignore any gossip you hear about other single friends. If you are attached, the two of you make an effort to create more of what you desire. The results are likely to be positive. Virgo often pushes you to open up to new ideas. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You approach situations from a solid point of view. Not everything plays out as you might like it to. Your creativity emerges and can be quite an asset. Allow greater creativity to enter your life, and find inspiratio­n from brainstorm­ing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your imaginatio­n goes haywire at present. You have many ideas and concerns. You might not know whether to continue on a certain path, as there could be a lot of disagreeme­nt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You make a big difference in a family member’s life or around your home. Sometimes you can be stern within a partnershi­p, but once you relax, matters flow with ease. Don’t underestim­ate the power of getting feedback from friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Remain more sensitive to your options than you have been lately. Sometimes a key person in your life discourage­s you. Do not allow this type of interactio­n to mar your social or personal life. Extremes are likely to mark your day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Curb a tendency to push others too hard in order to have them agree with you. Your imaginatio­n enhances the closeness that exists between you and a loved one. You know how to get this person to open up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Deal with a close friend or loved one directly. You have the ability to make all the difference if you choose to let go and relax. You have been drawing people toward you who are typically quite elusive and/or closed down.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Listen to your inner voice. You could be concerned about a situation happening around you. Make sure you walk a straight path, and do not compromise or put yourself in a negative position.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Zero in on your priorities, and get through what you must early in the day. As a result, you will free up some personal time later on. A loved one would like to be part of your day. Reach out to this person, as he or she could be lonely.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pressure comes from an older person or someone you look up to as a role model. You cannot continue as you have been; otherwise, you will go overboard. Others admire your ability to deal with those in a position of power and responsibi­lity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Reach out for more facts and new informatio­n. On some level, you could feel pressured by a changeable situation. Deal with this matter ASAP, before it creates more issues. Follow your instincts when dealing with someone at a distance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. Understand what is happening between you and a loved one. This person seems to have an attitude that he or she knows it all, and could push you past your limits. Understand how insecure this individual is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Others make an effort to greet you and get past a problem. A dear friend goes out of his or her way for you. Be open about your feelings. Some of you might reference lyrics of songs and/or verses from a book when speaking about what ails you.
