Horoscope for Jan. 4

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 could have a disagreement with someone you are dealing with financially. At times, you need to — and must — say “no.” Tonight: Out to dinner with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• A morning tiff might set you off, but let it ride right on by. What is at the base is a misunderstanding. Tonight: Let love in.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•• Much is going on behind the scenes. You are able to do more than many people once you pick yourself up from a little stumble this morning. Tonight: At home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Zero in on your priorities in a meeting. Understand what is happening behind the scenes. Play it like you don’t know, and keep discussions flowing. Tonight: Only where people are.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Others look to you to take the lead. You might not be in the mood, and you let others know it in no uncertain terms. Tonight: Out late.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Break past your normal thinking. Try walking in another person’s shoes. Tonight: Opt for something different.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• You could be tired and withdrawn from dealing with a partner. Part of the fatigue is the result of employing unusual self-discipline. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Defer and make it a little easier on yourself. A friend who generally is easygoing drives a hard bargain. Tonight: Sort through your options.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• You work well with others and get to the bottom of problems quickly and effectively. The problem lies in the fact that a boss isn’t getting your message and confusion surrounding the instrumenting of an idea. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• Sometimes you might seem stern to others. Tap into your imagination, and understand what is happening with a co-worker or a friend you see nearly every day. Tonight: Make it fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• You might not want to stay focused on a personal matter, but until it is resolved in some form, it could prevent you from tossing yourself into anything else. A partner gives you strong feedback, whether you like it or not. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• You can and will make the needed difference. Though you might not be sure of yourself or able to get past an important detail because you aren’t hearing all the facts, let go of the issue for now. Tonight: Hang out with some friends.
