Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Jan. 3

Those with birthdays today: Often this year you might swing back and forth on issues. What is great is that you can see situations from many different sides. This ability might make it difficult to choose. Your mind might say to do this, but your heart wants you to take a different path. You tend to indulge others with gifts and tokens of affection. Let’s not forget you. If you are single, someone you meet could be more trouble than is obvious. If you are attached, let your significant other have more say. Remember, a partnership implies equality. CANCER challenges 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)

You feel the undercurrent of the Full Moon. Let go of tension, and life will look better. Somehow, whatever you try falls slightly out of kilter. Tonight: Mellow out at home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have the will and the right words. Still, events and reactions might not fall exactly as you would like. Let go of the outcome, and view the process. People soon will become easier to deal with. Tonight: Swap recent tales with a pal.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to get a money matter handled but still hit interference. What seems awful right now could be manageable given time and space. Don’t make any agreements. Tonight: Keep it inexpensive.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

All eyes are on you. You easily could be overwhelmed by what is coming down your path. Trust that you can manage more than many right now. Be willing to chip in. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Know when it is time to retreat (like now). Your best intentions could come off quite differently. If you can close your door or work alone, you will be much happier. Solitude will center you. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Aim for what you want. Enlist others’ help. Let opinions differ, as you don’t have a choice. What is important is that you have people’s attention. Demands fall on deaf ears. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

While much that occurs will drop in your lap, leave unraveling the knots until tomorrow. Dig into your creativity for different solutions, applying none of them right now. Tonight: Express caring for that special person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You hear information that could cause quite a flurry. Know that you don’t have the complete story yet. Find experts and ask for advice, but make no immediate decisions. Tonight: Relax your mind. Play Scrabble; surf the Internet.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Suddenly you find the right words and start getting the responses you want. An undercurrent of craziness might be difficult to deal with. Guard your finances. Tonight: Let another person vent.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Full Moon in your opposite sign might be quite challenging. Pull away from reactive behavior. Understand that you have no control over others. Tonight: Listen to others’ ideas. You might not have a choice!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Though you might want to be extremely verbal, what might be best is keeping your own counsel. Setting an example serves as the best way to communicate. Tonight: Take a walk or fit in some tension-reducing activity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Ideas seem to pop up from out of left field. Write them down rather than apply them right now. Be sensitive to someone who rarely expresses his or her feelings. Choose to do something just for yourself. Tonight: Add some spice to whatever you are doing.
