Horoscope for January 31, 2010

For Sunday, Jan. 31:

This year, learn to defer to others more often. You might think that you are right, but the best thing to do is allow others to discover on their own that you are. If you are single, you meet people with ease. If you are attached, you enter a new phase together. Virgo has a whole different outlook.
