Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: You tend to get what you want when you put your best foot forward. Others are highly responsive to your diplomatic ways. You need to learn healthy ways to discharge your frustration and express your anger if you want a calm domestic life. If you are single, you know how to draw someone in. If you are attached, your relationship could change. Libra pushes 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)

  • Tempers flare, and you might be right in the midst of an argument when you least want to be. Evaluate whether you might be oversensitive right now. Seek out more facts. Tonight: Happy to nestle in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Take it easy, and don’t push too hard. You might want to see someone take another view, but you cannot change what is. A friend could have strong feelings. Tonight: Easy does it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • A boss pushes you very hard; resist having a strong reaction. How you handle this situation could make a huge difference. Don’t let someone put you down. Tonight: Midweek romp.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Basics do count, but convincing someone who might be a bit high-strung in your life could be difficult. Your feelings detach some, allowing you to see a situation much differently. Always take the high road when possible. Tonight: Happy at home.
