For Wednesday, Jan. 24

Those with birthdays today: This year you often appear to be an endless resource of ideas and solutions. Brainstorming will only add to the power of the thinking process. You will naturally attract many new people, as you always seem to be putting your best foot forward. You are in a position to alter your life’s course, if you so choose. If you are single, you meet people wherever you go because of your gregarious nature. If someone triggers your dreams, stop. If you are attached, share more with your sweetie, and you’ll become even closer. ARIES likes to visit.

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)

Your efforts draw many. Success breeds more success and, in this case, popularity. You will achieve a long-desired goal through your relationships. Tonight: Just wish.

You are in charge. This role suits you well. Many like your thoughts. Claiming your power doesn’t mean being demanding, as you’ll demonstrate. Tonight: Take some time just for yourself and maybe one other person.

You might be pushing yourself very hard. If you relax and go into your mind, you’ll find that unusually resourceful ideas get you to the same place. Keep your mind alive. Tonight: Happy with a friend.

Read Taurus, and you’ll know what responsibilities will fall on your shoulders. A key partnership adds joy and depth to any situation. A moneymaking venture might not be as good as it appears. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Step back and take an overview. Interesting input comes from those who feel free enough to share. Though at first you might decide someone is off his or her rocker, you’ll see this person’s logic later. Tonight: Buy a best-seller or rent a movie.

Having more meaning in your daily life becomes more and more important to you. If you feel that your work or life might not tumble into this category, consider a new direction. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to defer to someone else. You will see a whole new side of this person emerge, which you might like quite a lot. Let more creativity and romance into your life. Tonight: Act like this is the first day of the rest of your life.

Though you usually don’t hold back, certainly don’t this time. Let your ideas just flow. Others might be interested. By talking about your dreams, you are taking the first step in making them real. Tonight: Frisky works.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might want to deal with basics, especially your emotional security and well-being. An investment might look great, but you are missing an important piece. Be careful with any real estate purchase. Tonight: Happy at home.

Whatever you do, in whichever direction you turn, you get smiles and support. The only error you could commit is not to share what is going through your mind. Others might feel left out. Tonight: Visit over a meal.

* Your instincts serve you well with finances. Also, an emotional matter might be best kept to yourself. In fact, the feelings might be more intense if you say nothing for now. Let your mind wander. Tonight: Order in.
