ARIES (March 21-April 19). Interesting new people are featured. Take it as a cue to show off and let your hair down. It’s your chance to be seen in a way you’ve never been seen before. Tonight, beware of a jealous fire sign.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Show up strong – don’t plunk yourself in a corner and quietly observe. Life can be a party – yes, even your work life, if you make it that way. Someone is trying to sell you something complicated that you don’t need.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Mom always used to say, "Think before you speak," and today, you’ll remember why that was such a persistent message of hers. Could be that you’re back-pedaling your way out of some silly thing that sprang from your lips.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Why is it such a challenge to say what you mean and mean what you say? Because you’re a caring person who doesn’t want anyone around you to have even a moment’s discomfort. Do business with Aquarius and Gemini.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Energizing forces come in the form of a threat to your position. Adversity introduces you to your fighting spirit. Running on adrenaline is seriously underrated. Tonight, instead of watching TV, meditate.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (January 15). You’ve been careful to sow seeds you’ll take pleasure in reaping this year. Your talent gets a workout this month and next, but you’ll be paid for your work and confidence. Many singles get offers of love now and could make a big commitment in the next month. You’ll make money when people you meet connect you with their wealthy friends. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 21, 50, 26 and 18.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). By now, you are probably clueless about how to get ahead in your work. The stuff you "should" do is nothing you want to do. You find yourself looking for the answers you want to hear to get you out of unpleasant tasks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get opinions from the peanut gallery about where you should take your project next. Don’t let your mind wander from the bottom line. Succeeding in business is simple. Model the beliefs and behaviors of the best.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re quite a star: tough, no-nonsense and ready to seize the attention of your wiling audience at your whim. Your dating strategy is much less assertive than your business mode of operation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s time to decide between two different roads. You may consider the monetary aspects strongly, but the other factors are even more important. Many of you will be in a receptive mode and benefit from being the student.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Interesting questions spark your curiosity – one of your sexiest qualities. After all, you flatter people by wanting to know more about them. At work, you can hold others’ interest by never letting them be sure of your next move.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re in a mood to think independently, not to buy into the great lies that are propagated by the media and society. Chuck those beliefs that are designed to keep you in your place. Don’t make impulsive financial decisions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ideas, when they first occur, aren’t finished products but fragile entities that need love and devotion in order to grow. Current obligations might get in the way of this. Prepare yourself to have a potentially difficult talk this afternoon.
HIGHLIGHTING THE SEXIEST, MOST FABULOUS ASPECTS OF YOUR SIGN (PART TWO OF FOUR): CANCER: It’s impossible to feel sexy when you’re concerned about what other people are seeing. Call in the professionals to fill in the gaps where your friends just aren’t qualified to help. Cutting-edge beauty treatments suit you, allowing you to relax and concentrate on other people instead of obsessing about how you look. LEO: You’ll rise to whatever standard of fabulousness is in your line of vision. That’s why you can’t settle for being influenced by what the average person wears. Get those high-fashion magazines – the ones from overseas – and spice your own look up with your version of those hopelessly expensive and totally glamorous looks. VIRGO: Classics always suit you, but sometimes, you can get away with adding a little artificial help here and there to make a totally natural look. Like who is going to know those are hair extensions? Also, you’ll be feeling much more vital when you’re in the right job. This may be your year-long quest, but don’t give up until you find something you really love.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Rod Stewart represents Capricorn’s classic style. As the music business changes, he doesn’t bother to re-create himself. Instead, he wisely builds on what has been successful in the past – a rock-‘n’-roll voice singing songs that are melodic, infectious and even traditional. Other Capricorns born in ’45 can take a lesson from Stewart – stick with the formula that works.
