Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday: for Sunday, Jan. 6. This year you might be overly focused on one particular area of your life. Sometimes, others walk away from you because they cannot relate to this intensity. Know that this situation will endure for a while, but not forever. If you are single, you could meet several potential sweeties. The question remains: Do any of them makeyour heart flutter? If you are attached, you could become more dominant than your significant other likes. Try to share time, space and suggestions more evenly. A fellow CAPRICORNholds you back.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★ Yesterday’s eclipse might have drained you more than you realized. Fatigue could make you highly reactive when the unexpected occurs. You do not have a reputation for being patient; right now, if someone crosses you, he or she had better watch out. Tonight: Do only what you must.

Taurus (April 20-May

20): ★★★★★ Maintain a focused perspective, especially if you find that a situation seems unpredictable. You suddenly might understand a quality of a loved one that you wish you hadn’t. You will be able to clear the air sooner rather than later. Tonight: Be ready for anything

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★★ You generally cherish spending special time with a loved one. You enjoy the long conversations and this person’s quick-witted responses. What you see or the impression you receive could shake you up. Do not act on it; rather, continue to observe. Tonight: Play it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ You could be in the position of needing to reconsider what is occurring around you. Your laughter and sense of humor do not allow others to see what is really going on in your mind. For now, remain subtle. Tonight: Know that a loved one has strong feelings about the same situation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★ You see what must be done. Although you might not be going to work, a project that needs to be finalized will feel like work. Your attitude could reflect your need for more fun and excitement. A sudden call or suggestion could invigorate you. Tonight: Choose your priorities.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★ You knowwhat is going on. You sense that a loved one is being unusually reactive, but there seems to be little you can do about it. Allow yourself to stumble into a fun project or to go with a child to enjoy some kind of winter activity. Get into the season. Tonight: Be patient.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★ Your focus is on your home and on the possible need for change. Whether this need is felt by you alone or is a general feeling among your family and/or friends, you could decide to shake up the status quo. Others might not agree. Tonight: Relax, and get into a favorite TV series.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★★★ Speak your mind, but don’t expect others to be positive or to agree with you. You might even shock a loved one with what you share. Give this person time to re-evaluate and process what you have said. Incorporate a stressbuster into your day. Tonight: Head to a favorite spot.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★ Pressure builds; unfortunately, this tension revolves around your budget and spending. Someone close to you might not see eye to eye with you. Consider separating your mutual financial investments. If you do, the two of you will be better friends. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ You could be off-kilter and want to do something in a different way. For now, decide to maintain your natural role and support the status quo. Someone in the same situation will give you all the reasons you need to reverse your mindset. Tonight: Ponder the pros and cons.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★ You seem to be withdrawn and feeling the need to keep a secret. In truth, you are weighing the pros and cons of an important change in your life. You have experienced so much of the unexpected that you are not sure whether change is a solution. Tonight: Get into a good book.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★★ A friend or loved one could cause a change in plans. You could be surprised by how delighted you are to be around this person. You always seem to relax, laugh and enjoy life much more when he or she is around. Tonight: Count your change, as a mistake easily could be made.
