Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 27, 2012: You’ll become unusually gregarious and spontaneous this year. People from your past might not always be comfortable with this side of you. If attached, remain sensitive to your significant other as he or she adjusts to the ”new you.” If single, you’ll certainly have your choice of suitors. Take your time getting to know them. Aries brings out the wildness in you. A baby born today has a sun in Aquarius and a moon in Aries if born after 10: 28 a.m. Before, the moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You might not be at your best when you wake up, but you will be before you know it. Understand what someone expects. Your actions could stun others, and maybe even you, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Your mind zeros in on a personal or professional matter. Assume a less dominant role for now in different facets of your life, and allow others to come forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • As focused as you might be on work, by the afternoon, your mind drifts elsewhere. How you handle a situation could change radically.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Your mind drifts to many possibilities, perhaps not coinciding with the matter at hand. By the afternoon, events or self-discipline encourages greater concentration.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Reach out for other people, especially those who are experts or who know more in areas you are exploring. The type of information you will receive might be slightly avant-garde.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Deal with others directly. You might wonder what is going on behind the scenes. Clearly, someone shows unusual caring and wants to be closer to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • You might want to defer to another person. Truth be told, you aren’t seeing the situation fully. Ask for more feedback from others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You will clear out more in less time. What you see as a new possibility could surprise you. Do a better job of listening to an associate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • You could be flabbergasted by another’s behavior. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with this person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You might wish that you had stayed closer to home by the afternoon. If you can arrange to make it an early day, do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Finish up a project before getting on the phone and returning calls. News might be so stunning that you could be speechless.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Get as much done as you can in the first part of the day. You might not understand everything that you are seeing, and you might not need to.
