Horoscopes

For Saturday, Jan. 24, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You’ll have an unusually successful birthday year if you are willing to use a talent or gift and turn it into a moneymaker. A partner or loved one helps you use this gift and make money with it. If you are single, your magnetism will draw many. Carefully check out who you might get involved with, as that person could be emotionally unavailable. You will meet someone quite unique next fall. If attached, the two of you love to spend and invest together.
