For Monday, Jan. 1

Those with birthdays today: This year you are like a cat with nine lives. No matter what happens, you keep coming back. Just don’t go to the extreme! You have the ability to accomplish a lot this year. Approach your daily life with an even better sense of organization. Don’t allow your frustration to invade your relationships. Exercise or meditate, but find a stress outlet. If you are single, you might not meet “the one” this year, but you will have a good time anyway. You have a lot going on. If you are attached, amplify the nurturing, and love will grow. A GEMINI could be hard to work with, as they are so different from you.

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)

¢¢¢¢¢ Communication and “doing” mark your style. What a great day to touch base with the many people you care about! Someone who crosses your path might be difficult. Tonight: Hang out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ You might be a touch too aware of recent costs. Though it might be important to keep your budget in mind, don’t let it ruin the good times surrounding today. People want to relate. Tonight: No wild risks!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Someone could be challenging. Accept that others don’t always see life through your eyes. Enjoy yourself and bring many of the special people in your life together. Tonight: Be the star, and radiate caring.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢ Take your time making decisions. If your inclination is to stay close to home, do so. If you are exhausted, you won’t be much of an asset and won’t enjoy yourself. Tonight: Think early bedtime.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Accept invitations that involve being around crowds, friends and people. The Lion always flourishes in this type of atmosphere, even more so right now. Lighten up. Tonight: Into the whirlwind of a party.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others seek you out. Your opinions and leadership might be requested. An older relative could feel like a burden. Imagine what it feels like to be him or her! Tonight: A force wherever you are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Much that goes on could be only in your mind. What people say could spin off into a wild mental scenario. Hop in the car and visit a pal at a distance. Tonight: Where the action is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Accepting that you are not the only force might be difficult but absolutely necessary to your enjoyment. Sometimes you push people a lot harder than you realize. Tonight: As soon as you can be a duo, go for it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Curb aggressiveness or frustration. You might not be able to work out your feelings today. Try to detach and see life with a complete perspective. Sort through invitations. Tonight: Could be another late one!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ If you fizzle and have no more energy, make that OK. Though someone might be disappointed that you aren’t a bundle of energy, you cannot help it. Snooze, relax and watch TV. Tonight: Early bedtime.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your frisky nature earmarks your actions and thoughts. Others might feel as if they are dealing with a 2-year-old. You might not care. Stay centered, if possible. Tonight: Let the halls ring with laughter.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ Many invitations head in your direction. Your phone might be ringing incessantly. Choose to play it low-key and close to home. If you want to, invite a friend or two over, but cut the great extravaganzas. Tonight: Try for an early bedtime.
