Horoscopes

For Sunday, Jan. 23, 2005. Those with birthdays today: You have a very special way of intriguing others and drawing them in. Use your unique ability to not get plugged in and to detach. You also always want to learn more and expand your horizons. Some of you will stretch through education, spirituality and/or travel. Use this special year to bone up and get even more expertise in your chosen field. You will see the net results toward your birthday next year. If you are single, check the object of your attention carefully. This person might not be all he or she wants you to think he or she is. If you are attached, spend more time understanding your sweetie rather than judging him or her.

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)

  • Count on not exactly being the modicum of self-discipline. In fact, even when just hanging out at home, you kiss self-restraint goodbye. Don’t even think about starting a diet or new exercise program — maybe tomorrow. Tonight: Bend rather than have a misunderstanding.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Wherever you go, excess blazes the path. You might easily eat, party or spend too much. Tonight: Don’t deal with a difficult person or situation just yet.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You will tend to spend or go overboard. There is a tomorrow. In fact, you could see the end result as soon as tonight. Try to rein yourself in, and kiss goodbye to an overindulgent spree. Tonight: Order in.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Your reputation as a wild thing appears well justified. You might distance yourself from a loved one or special person in your life. Others, on the other hand, cheer you along as if there is no tomorrow. Tonight: Make wise choices.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Don’t question your timing. Know when to pull back and not get caught up in an apparently wild situation. Even returning calls or making your Sunday calls could cause a backfire. Understand that you can only do so much. Tonight: Hide out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Aim for what you want. Draw in friends and let the good times happen. Certainly don’t be surprised when you need to calm down a loved one. In fact, you might have to pay, literally. Tonight: Try sensible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Family, especially the “mature” relatives, demands your attention. You cannot squirm out of the situation. Face facts. Responsibilities call. Others watch how you handle the pressure. Tonight: Try for an early night.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Your perspective might be very different from others’. Gain a new perspective, and you will be a lot happier. Laugh and enjoy yourself as if there is no tomorrow. Change plans. Tonight: Worry less. Everything will work out if you use your instincts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Deal with others directly. Your sense of a close person might be on target. Let others express what they want and expect. You might decide to go along with someone’s request. Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You might want to be light and easy, but unfortunately, you could find yourself grumbling. What is going on here? Laugh and relax. You cannot always be in control. Tonight: Say “yes.” Be nice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Easy does it, even though others urge you on. Let your fingers do the walking if doing research or visiting with others. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Your imagination and romantic qualities merge. You might not know which way is up. Your rose-colored glasses color your reality. Enjoy the moment, but don’t be surprised if a friend drops the real facts in front of you. Tonight: The child within you delights in the moment.
