Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010: This year, you have more opportunities than in the past to relate on a deeper level with a loved one. Listen to what you know to be true for you, and make less judgments on others. If single, new doors open through networking. If attached, discover a new sense of connectiveness between you and your sweetie. Taurus sometimes grounds you too much.
