Happy Birthday for Friday, Jan. 9, 2009: Your actions this year have much more impact than anticipated. Your choice of direction needs to remain strong; otherwise, you easily could be distracted. You often juggle the pros and cons of a situation. More than ever, you discover the power of transformation. Good will comes out naturally when you express your depth and caring. If you are single, you can kiss away that status if you so choose. Many opportunities head your way, opening doors and allowing you to meet new people. If you are attached, your sweetie becomes more easygoing and expresses more understanding. As the result of mutual respect and a newfound depth, caring grows. Cancer has similar issues but a very different approach.

Aries (March 21-April 19) •••• Don’t take anyone for granted, especially a key partner, associate or friend. Though you don’t mean to push, you could. Knowing when enough is enough could be instrumental.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••••• Communication opens up. Finally you have time to complete a much-needed project. Invigorate a situation by presenting a totally different and possibly eccentric point of view.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• Understanding the costs is very important before you make a commitment. How you deal with a seemingly extravagant associate could change a lot. Investigate with an eye to something better. Think positively.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) •••• You are full of laughter and fun. Listen to what someone shares more carefully. Only you know or understand the ramifications of a personal risk. You don’t need to push or force your way; others remain pliable.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Take in more information. Recognize your options, choosing to deal with only those you trust. Pick and choose who you confide in. Understanding evolves to a new level. Be open to reorganizing your daily life, if need be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• You gain deeper insight into the depth of a problem. Perhaps you don’t realize how many supporters you really have. What is really important is not to take someone for granted. A meeting helps you confirm which way to go.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Often you are looked to as the final authority in a changing panorama. You will like what comes up, no matter which way you opt to go. You don’t need to talk others into following you. They are watching and probably will join in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Read between the lines. Travel and people from a distance might be tied to a new outlook. Your ability to visualize comes forward, though it might be hard to impart this vision on someone else. Know that anything is possible.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Knowing your course ahead of time could be more important than you realize. What someone means as a kind comment comes off quite differently, at least to your ears. Don’t personalize what doesn’t need to be personalized.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Defer, and you’ll come up with answers. Others’ comments prove to be resourceful and important to your well-being. Touch base with associates and other key people. Amazing or surprising news filters in your direction.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• How you handle a changing situation could be intriguing to many but time-consuming for you. Ask for help or consider another approach. Someone will be very pleased to give you a helping hand.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Your energy provides many opportunities – you pick your course of direction. Someone you care about opens his or her eyes and sees you differently. This effect could be mutual.
