Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011: This year you will change course. Others can be difficult, and you find relating one on one to be better. If single, Cupid arrives in your neighborhood this summer. If attached, you start acting like newlyweds again after you move through a volatile issue. Leo understands much more than you think.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Pressure builds. Fundamentally, you are attempting to cover too many bases. There appears to be no solution until late today or tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • You move through one message, request or act with speed. Recognize that you have more than your share on your plate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Juggling many concerns, you wonder where the path to simplicity is. Handle all that you must now, and ponder the issue later. A boss might be more supportive of your plight than you thought.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • The Full Moon energy in your sign helps motivate you. Curb wildness and risking, which is more likely at this juncture. Understand another’s plight, but identify with the person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • If you do not have the answer or cannot come up with a solution, say so. You could be in a position that is most uncomfortable otherwise. By late afternoon, you feel much better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Zero in on what you want. Others certainly will go along with your ideas. A meeting could turn an opponent into a compatriot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • What becomes clear is that you are not capable of handling all the surprises heading your direction and completing a key project. A creative solution comes forward. Do follow through on this idea.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Investigate possibilities that you were not aware of previously. An impulsive or risky decision just might work. Know, however, that if it should fail, the responsibility will be yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Working with individuals proves most effective at the moment. The problem arises when you hit a rebellious or controlling individual. You might want to toss a project at that point.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Defer to those who seem to have the power. Your perception is more insightful than many, though the timing might not be right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • At first, you might be uncomfortable with what is requested. You might not have a choice, as the unexpected bubbles up. Be sensitive to a friend’s request, but remember your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Others find you bold but unpredictable, not really who you are. As a result, you could be asked to run with the ball on a project.
