HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year you have many moments of reflection. You like stability, and you will hold on to it until the very last moment, when you are forced to let go. When you are flexible, you will be more content. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance at the end of this birthday year. Until then, enjoy dating. If you are attached, the two of you seem to be nestling in. You could opt for a major change of lifestyle toward the end of the year. Gemini delights in teasing you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Your light and easy style might not be coming through in the way that you’d like it to. Be direct and clear with others, as well as yourself.
