Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 1, 2010: This year, you often see situations as black-and-white. If single, you will meet many people who might not be suitable for you, but one person could be very interesting and a pleasure to relate to on a one-on-one level. If attached, defer more often to your sweetie. He or she will feel more important. Leo understands you well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• You might feel uncomfortable with some of your friends’ moods and attitudes. Perhaps vegging out and getting into a football game or movie fits the bill.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Communication with someone you look up to could feel a bit awkward or strange. Just relax and go with the flow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••• Be aware of a need to possess right now. Though you want to tune in to your higher self, you could have a problem relating to someone you care a lot about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Just be yourself, and you’ll draw a key person in closer. How you visualize a loved one could be much different from how he or she really is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• You might be doing a countdown waiting for the festivities to end. You want to launch a project or get something started that you have put on hold.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••• The socializing might feel endless, but trust that it will end soon enough. Visit with a special friend you don’t see that often. Open up to possibilities that surround a group of friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• A must appearance weighs you down. Your visualization of what you would like becomes a strong possibility in the next few days. A child or loved one might make a request that conflicts with a goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• Keep reaching out for someone at a distance you care a lot about. You might be surprised by everything that happens once you decide just how important a key family member is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Make sure you spend time with a relative or friend from out of town. What you do doesn’t need to be intense or deep; just being together is enough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Others continue to dominate with plans and requests. You have much more to offer and far more energy than you realize. Visit with a loved one, and treat this person how you feel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• Your efforts might hit an awkward or difficult moment. You might wonder what is going on with another person. Stay open and don’t color information you hear with your own perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• You might be more childlike than you realize. At the same time, you are responding to someone’s energy.
