Horoscopes

For Monday, Jan. 13, 2003. Those with birthdays today: Carefully consider your options surrounding your personal and professional lives. Even if you have a good job and make money, if you’re unhappy every day going to work, think again. Perhaps a change in career might be long overdue. If you are single, you might meet someone through a friend. If you are attached, work more as a team, openly airing out differences in your points of view. Gemini likes working with you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Your attempts to clear the air have the opposite effect. Tempers have a life of their own. Lighten up rather than becoming involved. Refuse to get cornered. Tonight: Hang out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Dealing with the basics could take unusual skill and precision. How you feel about someone comes out. Loosen up with a loved one who might be on the warpath. Tonight: Your treat.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Your strong personality attracts many. How you decide to deal with someone could change substantially. Others seek you out. Tonight: Understand the possibilities through the uproar.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Your ability to cross boundaries might be tested. Just because you see something one way, doesn’t mean that someone else does. Keep more of your opinions to yourself. Tonight: Do something on your own.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You might shake your head at the differences of opinion. Pressure builds within a personal relationship, irritating everyone concerned. Don’t get into a disagreement. Tonight: Seek a solution.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Take charge when others back off. If you get flack from a family member, realize just how much you’re desired by this person. Laughter helps heal difficult situations. Tonight: Could be a late night.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • You might want to defer to someone close, yet you might be pushed to the limit dealing with those around you. Be careful not to lose your temper. Tonight: Go along with another’s wishes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Don’t allow someone to trigger you when you would prefer to do nothing. Your ability to read between the lines makes a huge difference. Actions count. Tonight: Work off steam.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Allow your imagination to come forward. Sometimes you get so wound up in others’ tales that you have difficulty pulling out. Review your priorities. Tonight: Be with the one you love.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
