Happy birthday for Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009: You move in a new direction this year, but only after much thought, debate and deliberation. Sometimes a partner’s adverse reaction could point in a new direction, but to accept a new direction given in that manner could be hard. Remember, you are captain of your own ship – act like it. Do think, evaluate and consider alternatives, but refuse to be immobilized. If you are single, you meet others with ease and make new friends. If you are starting to date someone, really check this person out. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from more private time together. You will like the rekindling of feelings. Capricorn reads you cold.
