Happy birthday for Friday, Jan. 18, 2008:

Your professional and community statuses develop in a new vein and point in a novel direction. You are entering a very special year in which you see people in a new light. You also have more warmth, luck and insight than in the past. This combination makes you close to irresistible and/or extremely powerful. You are creating a far more dynamic life from in the past. If you are single, with so many people in your life, you could decide to change your situation. If you are attached, you'll discover the true meaning of closeness and accepting someone for the person he or she is. You can count on Gemini to pitch in. Note this person's different approach to work.

Aries (March 21-April 19) •••• Communication needs to happen, especially if you hit a negative work situation. You might want to rethink and understand what is happening with a difficult associate. Understanding could help. Use those abilities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••• The cost of a gamble to get ahead just might not be worth it. Listen to what is happening between the two of you. Seek alternative ways of talking about a money or personal matter.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• You are full of fun and energy. Go for what you want. Touch base with family concerns or a real estate matter. You might not be able to turn this situation around right now, so go off and enjoy yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••• If you are pushing too hard, you will know it. You could trigger no matter what you do, no matter with whom. If you’re trying to engage someone who might be a bit down, you’ll receive a strong reaction.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Do keep your priorities in mind. Network with others and touch base with your supporters, associates and/or friends. As a result, you’ll find solace in a conversation if you’re facing a difficult situation. Don’t push too far.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••• Others make demands. You could close down. Be careful when dealing with someone in charge. You could see someone with new eyes because of his or her demanding nature. Feedback might not be as informative as you might like.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Look at a situation from many different points of view. Still, you might not have confidence in your abilities. Others give you feedback. Note the admiration you get.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• A partner has a strong sense of what needs to happen. You could choose not to let someone run with the ball. If you don’t defer, the waves could go far. You might want to rethink a situation with a great deal of care.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• A boss or someone you need to answer to might be incredibly difficult. On the other hand, you need to understand where this person is coming from. Others also could be challenging.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• A lot of hard work is needed to get past an issue. If you are looking for a situation to change, honor a new insight. You might want to understand more of what is going on with an associate. Don’t push someone away.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• Your creativity surges, though a partner might feel a touch threatened. Try walking in this person’s shoes. Find out what motivates him or her. Someone might be a lot more uptight than you thought.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Your approach could be quite different and innovative compared with others’. Friction emerges. Diplomacy might work with some people, but not all. Accept others as they are. Your solid foundations come out as a major factor.
