Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013: This year you’ll want to avoid power plays at all costs. You might generate a lot of plans only to find that many of them will fall apart. Ask yourself why this happens. It could be something that is totally unrelated to your decisions. If single, your nurturing style draws many people to you. If attached, dive into a new hobby with your sweetie. You will discover that it brings the two of you closer together. Make more time for each other. Cancer is very moody. A baby born today has a sun in Aquarius and a moon in Cancer.
