Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 2, 2012: You are a force to be dealt with, especially within your community or professional circle. Never take a disagreement personally; understand that others can only come from their history. If single, you are likely to meet someone very different. If attached, share more of your ideas with your sweetie. You want them to at least experience your intellectual transformation. A baby born today has a sun in Capricorn and a moon in Aries before 2:16 p.m. Pacific time. Afterward, the moon will be in Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You are nothing less than fiery in the morning, but your energy seems to fizzle when focusing on a money matter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You have been out of whack longer than you realize. Recognize what has occurred when you feel much better late afternoon. Suddenly there is an opportunity to change directions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Push to get the job done. You could be exhausted and looking at an old situation differently. A new perspective could be most enlightening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • You might have difficulty nailing down a problem, as an elusive detail is missing. Ask questions if you are confused.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Take off. Be willing to take a risk. Use good sense, but remember that if you don’t take risks in life, you have nothing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Work directly with a partner or associate. Sometimes, like today, there is an innate tension that makes you feel uncomfortable. You will see life through another person’s eyes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Others could be far more challenging than you anticipated. Fatigue might have you acting like a real grump.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Get the job done. You could be exhausted by what is occurring. Slow down and take a deep breath, go for a walk or take a break.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • You might be harder on a friend than you realize. If this person has a strong reaction, understand that you might have pushed him or her away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • The emphasis remains on real estate, home and a potential investment. A roommate might not be ready for your ideas and new direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • You could be asked a lot of questions in the a.m. You might want to close down or walk away. At the moment, you have difficulty understanding why all this is so important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Be aware of an innate insecurity and how this trait might be playing into your financial situation. No one is more judgmental about you than you.
