For Sunday, Jan. 6, 2008:

You might walk into a hot or touchy situation this year – so much so that you might ask yourself what you are doing. You start a new luck and life cycle this year. This year might have a lot to do with the following 10 years. You have an inordinate amount of energy and feel as if you can conquer the world. Often, others might feel challenged. Identifying with them could be equally as difficult. If you are single, the world could be your oyster. Don’t necessarily jump at the first person. If you are attached, your warmth infuses your relationship. CAPRICORN could be a soul mate.

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 might attempt to be unusually mellow, but in reality, maintaining a certain attitude might not be as good as flowing with your feelings. At the same time, be careful with your temper, as it could explode from out of nowhere. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ A partner or friend might want to dominate. You have a few feelings otherwise. Instead of letting this issue rage out of control, you might want to rethink your approach. Tonight: Be a duo.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You don’t have the control you would like in order to handle a situation. You might be worn out beyond your normal limits. This feeling of exhaustion comes out no matter what you do or where you are. Be careful, as irritation could be likely. Tonight: Assume control.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Use another approach with what should be a routine matter. You might not be sure of yourself or as directed as you might like to be. Think positively and don’t let irritation blow an important project. Tonight: Defer.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Use the daylight hours to kick back and enjoy yourself. You might be a tad overwhelmed by events and what is going on. You might not have all the answers. You also might not care. Let your hair down. Tonight: Call it an early night.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢ Stay close to home in the p.m., and delight in what emerges. Your perspective could change radically when a boss or someone you generally respect totally loses it. Pressure builds in an unprecedented manner. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Speak your mind and allow others the same opportunity for feedback. You might encounter an innate disagreement, but you don’t need to allow this to ruin the good times. Examine what must be done in order to deal with a family member. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Keep conversations moving. Think in terms of gains. If you reconsider a situation, you might find that another approach would work better. Discussions could become personal. Walk away from such conversations. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Use the daylight hours to the max. You might find it hard to stop a new trend if you don’t like it. Has someone become unusually mouthy lately? Whether you like it or not, you will have to deal with this person. Tonight: Pay bills.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ Lie back during the day. Finish up a thank-you note or two. Take a nap that is long overdue. By late afternoon, you easily could feel your second wind returning. The real issue is what you are going to do. Tonight: Out and about as if there is no tomorrow.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Hang with friends or, if you want, go find someone you have noticed is a bit laid-back or difficult. You might want to think about what is going on. A child or loved one might be jealous. Proceed with care. Tonight: Take some personal time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Rethink a decision with care. What is going on with you or someone you look up to could be worrisome. Approach this person without anger, if possible. You might have pushed yourself a bit too hard. Tonight: Find your pals.
