Friday’s Horoscope
BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Rockmond Dunbar was born in Berkeley, Calif., today in 1973. This birthday guy currently appears as Eli Roosevelt on “Sons of Anarchy” and Pookie on “The Game.” He was a regular on “Prison Break” and starred on the short-lived series “Terriers.” He also guest-starred on episodes of “Private Practice,” “The Defenders” and “CSI: Miami.”
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Focusing too heavily on a particular goal may make you miss other opportunities that arise. Remain open to new ideas and keep the lines of communication open.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be a supporting player. This is not your time to shine in the spotlight, but your efforts can help put somebody else up on a pedestal. Be wary of offers you can’t refuse; by all means refuse them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Follow the leader. Trying to match the pace of another go-getter will raise the bar for all who participate. When making plans with a special someone, give him or her the freedom to pick and choose.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A worthless item on sale is still a worthless item. Cost-cutting measures may backfire when inferior materials don’t hold up to the test. Even if the cost is higher, quality merchandise will bring satisfaction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Appreciate what you have. Take time out to contemplate how good you really have it. Let loved ones know how much you value having them around. Treat yourself to a pricy treat; it won’t break the bank.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dedication to details is desirable. Make sure you’ve done your proofreading before turning in projects or you may overlook a grave error. Seek new and exciting ways to unwind after a hard week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stay in your comfort zone. You may find your way into a new group of interesting people, but take into account they may have a different perspective on life. Romantic pursuits could result in adventure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You don’t need a trophy to know you’ve done a good job. The pat on the back may be lacking, but you’ve done enough to earn the respect of your peers. Keep up your performance and praise will come.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Know when to fold ‘em. There’s not much point in playing the cards you’ve been dealt, so the best course of action is to concede and hope the next deal is kinder. Tell the truth, even if it hurts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rules are meant to be followed. Stay within the boundaries of policy or you may be turned into an example. Trying to pull a fast one could lead to complications. You can’t beat ‘em, so join ‘em.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go with the flow. You may be in a completely new social situation. Learn the lay of the land before deciding on a course of action. Gauge the mood of new contacts before you put your foot in your mouth.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let children play. Don’t get drawn into a juvenile conflict between friends when you have adult issues to deal with. Let the world solve its own problems. Spend more time pursuing the object of your affection.
IF JANUARY 11 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may be brimming with ideas and anxious to make your mark in the business world during the next four to eight weeks. The combination of imagination and business savvy makes you a powerful adversary in any business undertaking. A new romance could sweep you off your feet in April, but you could have blinders on and only see what someone wants you to see. Wait until mid-May, when your judgment is better, to re-evaluate any business proposition or romantic relationship. October may be the best month to launch a new business or investment plan.
