Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 23, 2012: You demonstrate immense creativity and dynamic thinking this year. Others count on you to have an answer. Confusion earmarks many discussions, resulting in sarcasm. If single, your magnetism attracts many potential suitors. If attached, you will need to find a viable way of letting others know how you feel. Aquarius cannot be roped in. A baby born today has a sun and moon in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You have too much on your plate. Oddly enough, in the process of trying to eliminate some excess, you add more work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • All the possibilities that surround a project might overwhelm you. A new beginning becomes possible professionally, if you worry a little less. Keep smiling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Reach out for someone at a distance. You could find that a relationship becomes far more touchy in the next few weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You could become increasingly aggravated with someone you relate to on a daily basis. Try not to trigger. Stay on top of what you need to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Use caution with finances in the next few months. You easily could make an error. Others seek you out, but they also want to have more control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • You could be unusually irritable and cause yourself some problems in the near future. You will have a tendency to overthink after the fact, replaying the situation in your mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • You could be out of sorts and somewhat more direct than usual. You could really stun someone as you reveal your feelings in a less-than-diplomatic manner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You could be out of sorts, or a friend could stun you with a display of anger. Tread with care. Know that this, too, will pass, but you might need to have a discussion to clear the air.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • Pressure builds involving your work or a community project. A close associate could be quite frustrated, and he or she lets you know in no uncertain manner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You could be far more touchy than you realize. A disagreement or lack of communication today, and for the next few weeks, could endure for a while.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • You might be A-OK but unfortunately, a loved one, close associate or dear friend becomes even more feisty. You might wonder: Why me?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Zero in on a problem by observing instead of asking questions. You could be surprised by what you find out. Also, note what is not being said.
