Horoscopes

For Sunday, Jan. 2, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You will make a difference in the public and/or work arena. Your leadership abilities come forward. Others naturally listen to you. Your sixth sense also homes in on what works best. You put unusual energy into your image. Consider signing up for a course or seminar to help you improve your presentation. A promotion, pay raise or some other acknowledgment of your abilities is likely. If you are single, you will meet people; though after July, you are more disposed to a close bond. If you are attached, share more of your outside life with your sweetie rather than isolate him or her.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
