Horoscope for January 4, 2010

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)

••• Although thinking about recent days past could be fun, business dealings or work-related matters need your attention. Tonight: Squeeze in a stress-buster if possible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Your sense of direction, teamed with unusual ingenuity, gives you greater influence than in the past. Be willing to pull back if you are stalled or are looking at issues. Tonight: Dedicate time for a child or loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• You might have difficulty getting going. You could be very tired and drawn from recent events. Listen to news that comes forward from a partner. Tonight: Dinner at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Keep communication flowing, knowing where you are going and why. If you overthink a personal matter, you might not find the solution. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Be more in touch with what you have to offer. Some people might not understand your qualifications, but those who count do. Tonight: A brainstorming session still might be active in your mind.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Use your creative skills at work and within your personal life. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening or the offers that are coming forward. Tonight: So what if it is Monday night?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Know when you are best off not sharing your thoughts. Investigate alternatives and weigh your choices. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• You might want to approach a meeting differently. A change of style always has an impact, but not as it has in the past. Tonight: Off to the gym or where people are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Your take-charge attitude must come out if you are to accomplish more of what you want. Tonight: Working late.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• You have far more to offer in different situations than you realize. Examine what appears to be a dead end without your natural prejudice. Tonight: Walk in another’s shoes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• A partner or associate tries to pull you in, to no avail. What is happening could shock you, or even force your hand. Tonight: Visit with a pal.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Defer to others, even in a meeting. You, as well as others, can see the end results without your input. Don’t worry about someone’s attitude so much. Tonight: Join a friend for dinner.
