For Sunday, Jan. 11:

Know that this year many possibilities surround you. At first you might not see your options, especially if you are around people who might be negative or difficult. Take a step out into the unknown. Be willing to risk and experience much more. Try understanding where others come from. If you are single, a foreigner or someone very different could walk through your door. Be open to learning a much different way of thinking. Communication flows no matter what your status. If you are attached, talk about doing something special, just for your relationship. Leo always has a positive suggestion.

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)

•••• Veg in the a.m. Later it will be impossible to do anything but play and enjoy a child, or become a child for a while yourself. Questions surround you. Get into the process of positive thinking, and fill in the gaps. Tonight: Fun dinner with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• Make calls in the morning, but remember that you need time, too. Slow down and perhaps take a nap or curl up with a good book. Rent a movie if you wish; just dote on yourself. Think “relaxation.” Take care of yourself first. Tonight: Easy does it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Deal with a personal matter in the a.m. Meet friends for a late lunch in the afternoon to catch up on news. You might have thought you had a lot going on, but nothing like others. Once facts are out, you can have a valid discussion. Tonight: Hang out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Get an early start on your day, especially if you want to get a project done or visit with someone. By afternoon, the instinct to clam up takes over. Use this period just for yourself, not mulling over the same issue again and again. OK? Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Do whatever you want for a change, without feeling like you must answer to someone. By lightening up, you make a situation easy. Once more you see the power of thought. If you are negative, events become difficult. If you are positive, you’ll let go and flow. Tonight: What would make you happy?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• An early brunch helps set the tone of your day. You might want to be with only a special person for the day. Relaxing quietly, whether chatting, sharing or off to the movies, makes no difference. Go for calm. Tonight: Vanish if you want. Everyone needs private time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• A must appearance seems inevitable, especially if the event revolves around a respected family member. Revamp your plans accordingly, eyeing a party or fun get-together later. Do not deny the good times. Tonight: Where the action is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You might get tied up talking or thinking about someone at a distance. Your humor helps you through a tense situation. Responsibilities, whether personal or professional, drop on you. Tonight: Could be a late night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• A partner needs some feedback, closeness and sharing. Handle a responsibility first, which then allows you to dip into your imagination and come up with plans. Go for the offbeat and perhaps what you thought was unattainable. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• Others seek you out, but you might want some private time with a friend or loved one. You are in command of your life, and in that sense you choose your company. Share over a late lunch, and walk in this person’s shoes. Tonight: Dinner and talks.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Squeeze in an errand or a brief walk before you start visiting friends. Happy with friends, surround yourself with whatever or whomever makes you smile. Laughter mixes with intellectual discussions. Tonight: Defer to another’s expectation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Act on a dreamy mood and perhaps invite others in. All together, you’ll come up with amazing answers and suggestions. Accept an invitation that might introduce you to a new pastime. Tonight: Start thinking “tomorrow.”
