Your Horoscope for Friday, January 12

- JACQUELINE BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lively, energetic personalit­y, and you don’t like to play it safe. Get down to the basics, and allow a close friend or loved one to have more say on an important decision. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You sense that others need more control than they have right now. Allow those around you to express their desires. What might have been an easy choice for you could be difficult for someone else. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Reach out to others. You might not be able to see a loved one taking a stand, so you will instead. As a result, you’ll take off and start handling a problem. Others seem grateful that you take charge. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have your hands full. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a friend who could be too adventurou­s for his or her own good. Rather than verbalize a judgement, let this person make his or her own discovery. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to be heading into a creative period. Others gravitate toward you, as they seek out your feedback and suggestion­s. Do not be surprised by the many invitation­s that head your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be careful when dealing with a family member who seems to be all over the place. Your friends and loved ones want to make plans with you. Think in terms of whether you want to get together. Check out a financial matter with care.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be exhausted by life’s demands. Consider spending only a few minutes out and about, and support yourself in saying “no.” Make it OK to honor a different set of plans, even if it is just heading home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to make choices that are less costly, or come up with plans that don’t make you so uptight about the costs of what you are doing. Remember, the company is what counts. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your personalit­y melts barriers. Others seem to open up more around you. You seem to embody a new sense of adventure, and might want to head in a new direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know when to take a backseat and head in a new direction. Your sense of humor comes out with a certain amount of detachment. Take a step back and distance yourself in order to gain perspectiv­e.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friends and meetings, both planned and spontaneou­s, could occupy most of your day. You might have a conversati­on with a friend who causes you to re-evaluate the friendship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your feelings do count, even to someone who is a superior in some way. People close to you have started to recognize that your hunches are more reliable than those of others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12) This year brings forward many opportunit­ies that you will want to jump on. You’ll quickly recognize that you can’t pursue them all.
