Horoscopes

For Friday, Jan. 23, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have a lot of energy, and if you direct it properly you will get an inordinate amount of work done this year. You also seem more willing to chitchat with others, enjoying the news of your neighbors, family and friends. Your social ability and willingness to extend yourself grow, drawing many toward you. If you are single, you seem to be able to draw yourself very close to the right person, though after September you might want to detach some. If you are attached, the two of you make quite a team and make money with ease. Although you might quarrel about which way to go, you’ll come to a good decision. PISCES spends your money.

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)

  • Tell it like it is. You might want to rethink what has happened within a special friendship. You might not be comfortable with what comes up for you later in the day. Use the early hours to the max. Tonight: Happy as can be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Stay on top of work, even if you find it to be a bit of a drag. You might have some issue that is frustrating you and driving you. Tonight: Where your friends are.

  • You might want to make calls and do research. Making a decision could be tough without the help of an expert. Tonight: A must-show.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Be willing to understand more of what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: A must-show.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
