Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011: This year you evolve in a new direction. Often you let others dominate the social scene. Your friendships remain key, and you will do whatever you need to do in order to maintain them. If single, it is likely because of a friendship that a love relationship develops. You could have quite the case of spring fever. If attached, the two of you gain through focusing on a long-term goal. Leo likes people as much as you do!
