Horoscopes

For Sunday, Jan. 8, 2006

Those with birthdays today: You are full of life and vigor this year. You know what you want and will achieve those goals. Your creativity surges as you do the right twist or turn down the winning path. Building better friendships and associates through networking stars. The one area of weakness could be financial. What you might believe is a good investment could ultimately be a problem. Money could easily slip through your fingers. If you are single, survey your options carefully, as this year you could hook up with a key figure in your life. If you are attached, blend your relationship into the many facets of your life. Make sure your sweetie is included. TAURUS stokes the fires of your imagination.

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)

You might be thinking of ways to make money. Perhaps getting started on your taxes could be an answer, instead of cutting your budget. Use your instincts about what might be best right now. Tonight: Think debt-free.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You certainly zero in on the question. Confusion surrounds an older relative or friend. Worry less and eye the positives. Plan a get-together with a friend later in the day. Explore a favorite area together. Tonight: Chitchat over dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As much as you might want to change your decisions, you seem destined to pursue a certain course. Don’t kid yourself. Spring will be here before you know it. Think healthy; act healthy. Tonight: Early to bed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Whatever you choose to do feels right. Don’t isolate yourself; find the special people in your life. A spontaneous party could happen out of the blue. Plunge right in and have a wonderful time. Tonight: Happy out and about.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Take your time right now. You could feel inordinately pressured by recent events. Schedule a walk or a favorite, much-needed activity. You cannot always be on top of your game. Tonight: Extra R and R.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Inevitably, you are the center of plans. Even if you need and/or want to cancel, you cannot. Others depend on you. What might appear to be a drag turns into a merry old time. Let yourself relax and go with the moment. Tonight: This party doesn’t end early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to shy away from the limelight, but need to be on the scene. A partner has a strong need to dominate. Why fight city hall? In the long run, letting this person have his or her way will build a stronger bond. Tonight: Make another’s request your pleasure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Let others run the show, and you will be much happier, perhaps even euphoric. Sometimes letting go of responsibilities or a need to control does more than a great massage or vacation. Enjoy those around you. Tonight: Hang out.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. In fact, you might want to fit in some daydreaming time. You need it, as you have pushed much harder than you realize. Lighten up and don’t let vagueness or uncertainty get to you. Tonight: Make it early.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your creativity marks your decisions. Whether playing a game or making plans, your imagination takes over. Let it. You see life from a more childlike or happier point of view. Let it all hang out. Have a great day. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

* Stay close to home and relax. You have pushed so hard lately that you deserve a day off! Read the Sunday paper. Relax and enjoy yourself. You might not be as sure of yourself or as buoyant as usual. You need a break! Tonight: Don’t make anything complicated.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might spill the beans and, without realizing it, tell a secret. Use care in your discussions, even though you might feel the need to share much more than you should. A friend is very gossipy right now. Tonight: Busy returning calls.
