Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 18, 2010: This year, you will be more prone to take risks than in past years. Often, you just know how matters are going to end up or what you need to do. If single, keep your eyes open; someone very special will enter your life. If attached, do something for yourselves as a couple. Take a workshop or class in communicating. Pisces brings up many good points.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Your dreams last night leave you enthusiastic and energized. Subconscious messages come forth. You might look at a responsibility much differently.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• If you suddenly have a desire to do something totally different from your norm, the only question is, Why not?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Investigate options a little more openly involving your work and a boss. You might wonder why there has been a sudden change. The energy actually is coming off of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Your mind is everywhere but on the present. Investigate what is happening within your circle of friends before making a judgment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Let go and admire a situation from afar. You don’t need to be up close and personal all the time. You’ll probably be invited to come in closer and relax.
