For Sunday, Jan. 4:

This year, give up the feeling that you always need to make the first move. You will have a tendency to get impatient because you would like everything done yesterday. In any case, you will accomplish a lot, even if it’s not at the speed you would like. Often you will rethink situations on the basis of your personal need for transformation. You are willing to grow and transform. If you are single, you will want a closer relationship, but be careful that the need doesn’t drive you into a situation. If you are attached, the two of you will be in a perpetual dance, learning to readjust to each other. Aries serves as an anchor.

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 are full of smiles, and even if everyone is not on the same page as you, you find middle ground. Be ready to discuss an unusually fateful type of encounter with a key person in your daily life. Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• Know when to pull back and enjoy yourself and not feel like you must make plans or keep to a schedule. Today you do well with a timeout. Understand how very hard you push yourself. Tonight: Use your instincts with an older partner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Zero in on what you want. Some situations could be more complicated than you might like. Don’t let the maze stop you; there is a real person on the other side who would like to communicate. Tonight: Your time to soar.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You cannot get out of dealing with a certain parent or respected friend. You might as well step up to the plate. Work could demand an inordinate amount of attention. Know what you must do to feel comfortable. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• Keep out of the thick of things. In fact, a movie or a concert where your mind can roam fits the bill. Realize what you need to do in order to feel comfortable. Accept your limits carefully. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• A key partner or loved one could challenge you, making it hard to communicate. Not everyone has the same ideas, nor do they need to. A conversation is not meant to close you down. Tonight: Listen to both sides of a problem.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• Defer to others and be ready to meet someone halfway. You smile, and someone else relaxes. Mind you, you need to veg and understand another person. Romance will blossom if you can relax. Tonight: Go along with another’s suggestion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• You could be overly tired and withdrawn. You might want to transform a relationship through a talk. It will take time and patience. Your creativity flourishes at home. Think through a suggestion. Tonight: Plan ahead for tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• You cannot contain yourself, nor should you try to. Let spontaneity take over, and open up to a child or loved one. Together the two of you will romp away. A parent or older associate could be touchy. Tonight: Act like there is no tomorrow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Your family continues to demand a lot of attention, and you feel as if you have little choice but to give it to them. Reach out for a distant friend or loved one. Might it be time for a trip or vacation? An offer might be irresistible. Tonight: At home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• Keep conversations flowing. You might not know which way to go, but with time, your direction and/or desires become clear. Follow that voice, and don’t sell yourself short. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Watch your more possessive side emerge. You might be well advised to pull back and ask yourself where this insecure behavior is coming from. Work on yourself rather than manipulate. Tonight: Your treat.
