HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016: This year, the quality of your relationships becomes an even higher priority than it has been in past years. You will fight for what you want, to the point of causing a problem in the long run. Your leadership skills come to the forefront. If you are single, your charisma speaks for itself. You will have many admirers. If you are attached, the two of you have a memorable year together. Your bond not only endures, but it also strengthens. Virgo is fussy, but you understand him or her well. 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) Your efficiency and graciousness will be tested. You simultaneously could offer your assistance to both a friend and a loved one. You might decide that the facts are being misrepresented. Deal with anger directly, and you will feel better.

TAURUS ( April 20-May 20) Your creativity saves the day. You might see a confusing situation emerge around a friendship. The facts seem to change, depending on who is telling the story. A close loved one easily could lose his or her temper.

GEMINI ( May 21-June 20) There is no way around a problem; you must find the right path. The information you’re receiving might be far from correct. Ask the right questions, and you will get answers. You will need to learn the lay of the land, and then you’ll know what to do.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) You’ll make an extraordinary effort to communicate with someone who can be vague and difficult. Your ability to figure out what’s going on will emerge. Don’t ignore common sense and straight facts.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) You could see a deceptive situation evolve. A key person is telling you only what he or she wants you to know. Lie low and wait for more information. A solution will appear, given some time. VIRGO ( Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your energy is at its peak. Focus on key matters that need to be cleared up. You will accomplish a lot of work as a result. A loved one might add a very caring tone to your day. Be careful with someone you don’t know very well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You don’t often let others take the lead, but right now you are inclined to do just that. Avoid channeling your disappointment into a shopping spree or some other kind of overindulgence that helps you forget what ails you.

SCORPIO ( Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you want. You are willing to fight, cajole or manipulate in order to make a goal possible. Your sense of direction makes it nearly impossible to stop you. A loved one might be feeding you the lines you want to hear, but is not being authentic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your performance counts far more now than your ideas and leadership skills do. You might be disappointed that you are not being appreciated. Look at the situation positively. Your instincts are right-on. You have no control over how others think.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take an overview and, with newfound detachment, again look at a situation that is affecting your home life. You could be surprised by how close you are to manifesting a special offer or opportunity. Don’t stop. Go full speed ahead.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating marks your day. For this reason alone, you’ll have a big smile on your face. Your instincts about a relationship and how you project yourself will help you hit a home run. Someone could be angrier than you had thought possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The smart move is to defer to someone else. You might not agree with this person, but you still should listen to what he or she has to say. Consider the ramifications of heading down your present path. Just because it’s not your way doesn’t mean it’s the wrong way.
