Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 16, 2011: This year, use a sense of caution well, knowing when to back off. Extremes mark this period, with a sense of indulgence often emerging. Being stoic simply won’t work this year. If single, do carefully check out anyone you relate to. Someone might not be the person you think he or she is. If attached, the two of you benefit from private time together. Gemini always has another idea!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Treat yourself once in a while. Still, a sense of limitation will kick in to prevent a problem. Others actually appreciate just being with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Indulge a loved one or a friend. Let’s not forget you, either. A little nurturing could recharge you. Be open to new possibilities that force you to flex.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Your perky style draws many people. You also often have insights that seem quite foreign to others. They know it and want to tap into your resourcefulness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Know what is happening behind the scenes. Revamp your plans if you are tired, or for whatever reason. Please arrange your schedule for your needs, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Zero in on friends, and join right in. Many of your pals might have plans for a game or to go to the movies. You could use some fun and relaxation. Be sensitive to a glum friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Others follow your lead, whether you are in a meeting or just while doing what you do in your community. Just for a day, don’t worry about your finances. Does worrying help?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Look for the unusual suggestion. Get away from your traditional solutions. Pretend you are not you. In this mindset, you could be amazed by what comes up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Relate to that special person. Do what he or she desires. Realize how willful you might be. Others often bend under your ideas, as it is easier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Let a partner’s or dear friend’s bubbly attitude flow into your life. Be light and easy with unfamiliar ideas. A friend could be down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You could see a situation far differently if you walk in someone else’s shoes. You have pushed hard. Give yourself some distance and a little R and R.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Sometimes you cannot hold yourself back. You could turn around and be shocked by your own wildness. Later today, a comment or realization settles you down a bit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Though you could be surprised by another’s response, you will want to think about it. Avoid a knee-jerk reaction, if at all possible. Note a partner’s or roommate’s mood.
