Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2011: This year, you manifest unusual physical energy. Direct this energy, as it could be self-destructive if you don’t have an outlet. If single, you might want to find the “right one” right away. Take your time rather than get stuck in a difficult situation. If attached, you might be more verbal and self-expressive than in the past. Of course, your sweetie might have a reaction. Learn a more effective style of communication. Taurus draws out an innate playfulness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Use the day well, transforming any obstacle into a new pathway. You also could get frustrated and upset, but to what avail?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • You still might feel out of kilter, but that feeling won’t last long. Your ability to jump over problems or bypass the issue is remarkable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Focus and drive might be excellent traits. Understand that you are not the only one with these traits. Listening and sharing with other driven people opens doors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Open up to new possibilities by assuming the lead. Not everyone agrees with you. Not everyone can follow through on your ideas. In fact, few people can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • You might not have the control you desire when dealing with someone at a distance. You actually might lose it and become quite wild.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Deal with others directly. Expressing unusual passion certainly helps make a point hit home as far as its significance to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Your strong drive comes out on the personal or domestic front. You could wind up buying property or making an investment. Are you sure you want this?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You are a whirlwind of energy. You are unlikely to stop, but keep going until you drop. Listen to what is being shared in conversations with those who are part of your daily life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Your playfulness emerges, making this day lighter and easier. A tendency to be risk-prone emerges and could be damaging if you don’t call in some self-discipline.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • You might want to make a difference, and right now. With Mars riding high in your sign, you are capable of a nearly inexhaustible effort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • You choose the right words for different situations. Do be careful with suppressing anger; it will pop out in facial expressions or passive-aggressive behavior.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Be sensitive with spending. Take into consideration your budget and also another person’s. It might be easy to go overboard. A meeting could force you to look at certain issues.
