Horoscope

For Sunday, Jan. 18, 2004. Those with birthdays today: A lot goes on behind the scenes this year. You might be going through an internal transformation. Your perceptions about yourself and the world might change substantially. You could act on these changing views, but remember that what you believe today might not be what you think a month from now. Take your time as you ponder certain key issues in your life. If you are single, be careful who you hook up with, as someone might be emotionally unavailable in some manner — though September 2004 presents someone very special. If attached, share some of your inner processing, or else your sweetie could feel out of the loop.
