For Thursday, Jan. 25

Those with birthdays today: Often events work against you, or so you think. The universe might be nudging you in a new direction. Deal with suppressed anger, as it could come out without you even realizing it. You might want to anchor in and really decide what you would like from your personal life. You can achieve just that. If you are single, a relationship will knock on your door. This person could trigger a lot emotionally. Work through issues rather than run away. If you are attached, you might be spicing up your relationship in some form. TAURUS can weigh on you.
