Horoscopes

For Friday, Jan. 30, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You need to be able to flex with ease this year, as much could happen quickly. Security becomes more important, but so does enjoying your life. If single, you will see the value of a relationship and will want to be close to someone, though the right person might not come along until fall 2004. If attached, your relationship grows closer and a lot more bonded. Listen to your sweetie about investments.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
