Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 22, 2010: This year, you move in an unprecedented direction. The key to your success is a newfound valuing of communication. If single, you’ll meet many people, though you might not be ready for a commitment. If attached, take a seminar or class together. Taurus reminds you of the basics.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Your ability to get things accomplished has been high all week. Today is no exception. Zero in on what you want, realizing that you have limited time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Know when to back off. You will accomplish the most by being low-key when responding to a boss or someone who influences your thinking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Zero in on what you want. Consider what is happening with a friend who cannot stay on topic. On the other hand, you are in a whirlwind of ideas as you try to sort through what is workable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) •••• Others might not like all your decisions, but they do follow your lead. Though you might want to get this or that done, not everyone has the energy to follow through.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• Tap into your ability to see the big picture, but this will be a concentrated effort if you are vested. Be willing to walk up and take a step in a new direction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• A partner continues to act on strange influences. Respond in a caring way once more, knowing that soon this person’s attitude might change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Defer to others and observe where the clog in the works is. Clearly, you will make changes, but only when you are more sure of yourself. Wait it out a little longer; more is likely to emerge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Your ability to see and handle different situation emerges. If you want to understand what makes a co-worker tick, start observing more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• Let more fun into your professional life. You work very hard to keep this boundary, but others could use an infusion of happiness. Make that additional time that a co-worker needs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• You will benefit from time spent out of the office or away from the work site. How you feel could change your approach, and thus the outcome of a situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• You are inspired, and others get a charge off of this energy. Be precise, because sloppiness could be a problem, especially if someone is following your lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Sometimes your intuition leads you down an expensive path. Make sure you separate intuition from wanting, as you could be off spending way too much.
