For Friday, Jan. 6

Those with birthdays today: You are full of cheer and happiness this year, though often your mood might not coincide with others’. Be more sensitive to those in your immediate circle, especially your family and those in your home environment. You will make an investment involving real estate or your own home. Do be careful, as you might be too willing to spend. If you are single, you might be a bit shy when meeting new people. Honor those feelings, because that trait will be part of your desirability. If you are attached, share your vulnerabilities more often. Debate and brainstorm. Both of you should have different feelings. ARIES could be demanding.
