Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Jan. 15, 2011: This year, you move in a new direction because you feel more innovative. You also will want to spend more money on yourself, and you probably need to. If single, you meet people when you least anticipate it. Summer 2011 looks unusually productive. If attached, the two of you could see a lifetime goal realized this year. Gemini offers different talents but can work well with you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Finally, you experience a day without obligations. Why not go out? Visit with a neighbor or a missed friend. You find out how sorely missed you were, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You might notice that you are tired and on a slow downhill slump. You do for everyone else, why not do for you? News from a distance causes reflection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You see many people and situations differently. Your ability to flex and empathize helps you walk in another person’s shoes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Step back out of the limelight for a while. Much-needed personal time might be necessary. A partner could be extremely difficult and touchy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You are like coffee percolating. You have lots of energy, but your direction might be unclear. Make plans to join friends for racquetball or some other favorite pastime.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Check in with an older friend. You can be sure someone needs an extra push. You are more in tune with the possibilities, especially as you have an excess of energy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Reach out for a loved one at a distance. You could be tired and exhausted, more than you are aware. Detach, and you might recharge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Deal with others on a one-on-one level. Make time for a special person; nothing replaces your attention. Be willing to change plans at the drop of a hat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Listen to what is being shared. You might learn a lot. Don’t respond immediately. Give yourself time to mull over what you hear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Finally, you have some time. Invite a loved one along, only if you want to. Question a need to drop some cold water on another person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Mars, the planet of energy, enters your sign. Get ready, world, as you become a ball of fire. You could become a terror if you are frustrated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Imagine what it is like to spend an easy day without pressure. Do you like the idea? Then make it so. You alone can create this type of happening.
