For Thursday, Jan. 17:

Your perspective grows as the year ages, but also because you are willing to absorb new ideas and head in a different direction. If you are single, you’ll meet people with ease. Often you might feel like you are in love. If you are attached, plan on more romance. Taurus anchors you.
