For Saturday, Jan. 21

Those with birthdays today: You always want to take the high road and not react to different situations. Understanding leads you down a new path. You are able to relate to people, friends and loved ones as you haven’t in many years. As a result, you can present a compassionate port in the storm. By breaking old thought patterns, you will be able to realize much more of what you want. If you are single, friends will be instrumental in meeting new people, and possibly meeting “the one” in late fall. If you are attached, your relationship will become an even happier one, especially if you travel and socialize more together. Libra sees beyond the obvious.

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)

¢Others continue to call the shots, whether you like it or not. You might find this situation agreeable, even if you cannot play the “alpha” person. You’ll find it delightful if you manage to simply let go. Tonight: Say yes.

(April 20-May 20)

¢Stay even and don’t push others too far. You might not realize that you are adding stress to your life. Deal with others individually, adding that especially nurturing Taurean touch. Tonight: Easy works.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢Your playfulness and joie de vivre only add to the many friends and loved ones seeking you out. By letting go and being more childlike, you’ll have a better time. Tonight: Add more spice to a relationship.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢Entertain from home, even if it means putting an extra effort in here and there. At the same time, if you have a project, you can invite friends over to pitch in, adding pizza and bubblies as a treat. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢Lighten up. Sometimes, especially lately, you are way too serious. Let go of problems and enjoy your life – be it your company, where you are or simply a good book. Reach out for others. Tonight: Tell it like it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢Grab hold of finances and use self-discipline. You will be much happier. What you want to add to your home environment can be done without costing you an arm and leg. Tonight: Fun can fit into your budget.

¢Happiness is your middle name. You will tend to luxuriate and enjoy the moment. You beam, and others respond. Zero in on what you want. Your lively ways strike others as delightful. Tonight: As you wish.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢ Know when to develop a low profile. Also of significance is keeping your opinion to yourself. Sometimes the less said the better – as you will discover today. Your instincts guide you financially. Tonight: Keep plans easy or null.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢Go out of your way to touch base with friends. The more people you are with, the merrier you are. You seem to touch off parties. You find friends will encourage you to overdo it. Tonight: Happy with people.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢Your instincts tell you how to deal with those you look up to. Sometimes you are overwhelmed by everything you need to do. Today might be an example, but your best bet is biting the bullet. Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢You might want to understand what is motivating someone at a distance. Your ability to read between the lines could make all the difference in an interaction with friends. Tonight: Where music is played.

¢Deal with others directly, and don’t hesitate to zero in on what you want. A key partnership could make all the difference in what goes down. Be open to change and adjustment. Tonight: Out on the town.
