Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2005:

Those with birthdays today: This year, opt not to play into the coldness or negativity of others. Remain optimistic and choose to revamp your opinions and find new ways to look at people and situations. Some of you will find a trusted adviser, the perfect person to brainstorm with. Open up to new ways of viewing and handling situations. Your work tosses you into the limelight. A promotion and pay raise are possible. If you are single, late fall 2005 provides new friends and opportunities to meet someone special. If you are attached, your relationship will bloom the more you share your work and stresses, especially toward your next birthday. Develop an even closer bond. Scorpio wants you as a friend.

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)

  • Recognize how negativity could be affecting you and others. Toss this attitude to the wind and help others be more positive. A discussion opens up your thinking. Tonight: Share news over dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might easily be misunderstood or have a difficult time getting your day started. Fighting the inevitable won’t help. Just deal with problems. Tonight: Accept an invitation to go out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You easily could get tripped up by a financial matter this morning. Be realistic when coming up with solutions. Open up, and then others can help you. Tonight: Walk or exercise — whatever works for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You could be far more difficult or touchy than you realize. Take some more time off if you need it. You could use it. Indulge yourself instead of everyone else. Tonight: Express your inner child.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Something might be bothering you on a subconscious level. Still, put your best foot forward. Seek out others, return messages and update co-workers on recent events. Tonight: Head home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Juggling funds and doing price comparisons could take up a large part of your time. Try to postpone these activities until you complete some work, if you can. Tonight: Pick up the phone. Talk to others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • A boss could rain on your parade. You might want to let go and be yourself. You find that a conversation later in the day reveals a lot of what he or she was thinking. Tonight: Avoid a power play or money hassle.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Listen and check out information. Somehow facts don’t emerge readily. Avoid gossip as well. Talk to an associate or friend about money and perhaps a new way of handling it. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Seize the moment wherever you are. Though an associate could be negative, you are capable of making white rabbits pop out of a black hat. Tonight: Time for yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You find some people to be difficult and negative. Bypass negativity by rethinking what has happened. Renew your outlook through a confidential discussion. Tonight: Find your pals.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • If you find that you are tired, use your mental abilities to shorten various tasks. Delegate as much as you can. Take charge and claim your power. Tonight: Out late.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Listen to a partner or someone who has a very different perspective on money. You might need to rethink your attitude toward a partner or your work. Tonight: Watch a movie. Hop on your computer.
