HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Jan. 13:

This year you open up to new ideas with greater ease than you have in the recent past. You often doublechec­k what you do, as you sense that there could be an error.

If you are single, you might connect with someone with unusual excitement and attraction at first, but then pull away later. You are likely to have many potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you seriously consider making some changes. You both will benefit from more private time together. Sagittariu­s understand­s you 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 thoughts might be focused on someone at a distance. Open up a discussion with a friend, and get his or her opinion. Brainstorm in order to find a solution; you’ll be pleased with the results. Unexpected reactions could cause a change of plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ A conversati­on about a potential trip could be somewhat provocativ­e. Some of you might opt to hop in the car and take off on a mini excursion. Getting out of your immediate environmen­t adds to your sense of well-being.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ How you see a situation could change dramatical­ly. At first, you might view the matter as being a hassle. Given some time, you’ll decide to jump in and discover how exciting the experience can be. No boredom for you today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Emotions run high. Even if you see a chance to change direction, you might opt to stay on your present course. Confusion seems to float around you, and could create an issue. Generally this occurs when someone does not have all the facts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ You might wish that a situation was less difficult and more rewarding. Talk with the others involved and get some feedback. Opt to direct your energy to matters that support your sense of well-being. A fiery friend is full of excitement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Refuse to be cornered into a discussion about a domestic issue. A roommate or partner might put you down if you do not agree with him or her. Trust your judgment. You might stumble upon a good idea, but perhaps it is not clear yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ An issue arises in your personal life that elicits a negative or heavy feeling. You simply don’t want to discuss it past a certain point. Recognize the unpredicta­bility that you trigger by walking away from a conversati­on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You might question what is going on with a neighbour or relative who seems a bit off. Regardless of whether this person is aware of his or her unusual behaviour, listen to what he or she has to share. Invite a friend to a fun happening later in the day.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Be ready to blaze a new path, should the opportunit­y present itself. A creative and/or impulsive moment could turn a heavy issue into a fun puzzle to solve. A loved one might want more of your time. Hop on the see-saw of life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★★ You can do only so much. The time has come to slow down and use this Saturday to rest up. You might be uncomforta­ble with changing plans, but making an accommodat­ion for yourself is necessary. Do something to restore your energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ A lot is occurring around you. Friends seek you out to share news or to help you get a party moving. Make it your pleasure to lighten the mood. Take some time to check in with someone who might not feel up to snuff.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You could be intensely involved with thoughts that have very little to do with the here and now. Schedule a trip or make a call to a friend; otherwise, you could spend the day thinking about this matter. A partner wants to get your attention.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Jan. 14:

This year you become very seriousmin­ded and accepting of new responsibi­lities. Remember, this attitude is only a phase.

Life at times could feel heavy, but again, know that this period will end, given some time. If you are single, you could meet someone whom you feel is right for you. Take your time before making any commitment­s. If you are attached, the two of you might make some adjustment­s, and could take on a major project. Make sure that you dot your i’s and cross your t’s. A fellow Capricorn is full of advice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★ What was acceptable yesterday might not be OK today. This feeling might be the direct result of your awareness of your responsibi­lities. Try not to blow a matter out of proportion, as it is likely that you could be frustrated or angry.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Keep reaching out to a loved one at a distance. Your ability to turn a personal matter around emerges. You might not always like sudden change, yet you don’t fight it. However, the other party involved could have a strong reaction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH You mix a sense of being carefree with an element of thoughtful­ness. You might need this combo to deal with a loved one and his or her reservatio­ns about a matter that involves both of you. Decide to be more fiscally responsibl­e.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You would like to defer a problem to someone else, and you are likely to do just that. This person loves to have control, and enjoys calling the shots. Why not let others do what they enjoy, so that you can free up some downtime for yourself ?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Reach out to someone who often has strong opinions. You might like this person’s suggestion­s when he or she explains an evolving situation. Look at this interactio­n as an opportunit­y to understand where others are coming from.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ You might not be ready for a friend’s sense of mischief. You can’t help but react. Just throw yourself into the moment, and you will wind up smiling. You soon will understand why this person relishes the simple happenings in life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Stay close to home. You need to be more present, and you could be feeling exhausted. Take a nap if you can. Veg and watch your favourite TV show. Make time for a youngster who would appreciate your attention. Enjoy being with this person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Deal with a financial matter early on, even if it’s as simple as buying a lottery ticket. Once you join a friend, you will barely have any time to think, as you are likely to experience an action-packed few hours. Let some lightness into the moment.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ Be willing to admit when you are wrong about an issue. Others also have strong opinions. Reaching an agreement takes time, mutual respect and understand­ing. You could casually negotiate this issue and come to a meeting point.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You might not be sure what the best thing to do is. When encounteri­ng an unexpected jolt that affects your personal life, you might wonder if the actions you took were the right ones. Accept responsibi­lity for what comes down the path.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Reach out to someone you care a lot about. You might feel the need to withdraw and distance yourself. Do, by all means, as you will need all of your energy in the near future. An unexpected conversati­on could have surprising results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You see what others can’t even imagine. Part of the reason this is possible is that you are not involved. You’ll look at all the actions, reactions and subsequent actions from an observer’s perspectiv­e. Make fewer judgments.
